That’s right, watch a conference call. And I don’t mean a video conference or even a web conference. With Zip Conferencing you can watch your audio conference. No secret cameras in your telephone either, just some cool technology that allows you to watch and control your plain old conference call from your PC. It makes it much easier to use the host controls available during the conference than using telephone keypad commands. There are no commands to remember as you can simply select your command from an intuitive interface displayed on your computer.
Not only is it easier to manipulate the conference call from your PC, you can also see the participants on the call so you always know how many participants are on and where they are calling from. This makes it easy to identify participants and gives you the security of knowing who is on the call at all times. You can even tell who is speaking as their is a talk icon on the screen as well.
From within the conference call you can mute participants and since you have a talk icon you can tell if one person is adding noise to your call and mute them. You can also lock the call which means no one can join the conference, not even one of our operators. The online application also makes it much easier to conduct a sub conference by marking participants and sending them to the sub conference. And if you need to add another participant you can even dial out to someone and add them to the call. When you are done with your meeting you can also end the conference call with the click of a button.
Conference calls are really convenient if you are on the road as you can dial into a meeting from anywhere. But if you are hosting a call and you are in front of your computer you should really try watching your call next time. You will find that there is no easier way to host a conference call.
