Conference calls are not only made through telecommunication companies, but can also be hosted using the Internet, saving a lot of money on phone calls. An added advantage in Internet conference calls is the possibility of video conferencing, where a video clip of a product demonstration can be easily made or even conduct a seminar.
Internet conference calls can be widely used by businesses to have virtual meetings. This type of conference calls can be installed in systems that have Internet PPP connections with good quality full duplex sound card, speakers, and microphone. To implement the conference calls, initially the participants should be informed about the conference either through the mail or announced in a website known to them. Scheduling Internet conference calls is more important as the future date; time and topic have to be informed to the selected participants. This is done by a simple procedure that involves registration of the caller’s identification such as name, username, password and call originating phone number with the Internet conference call service provider. Later, the selected participants’ contact number and location is added one by one and are intimated about the date and time of the conference call. On the specified date, the caller and the participants execute the conference and hold discussions. New products launched, market strategies, sales charts and product demos can be viewed and discussed with concerned people anywhere in the world.
Not only in business, but also many educational institutions have implemented Internet conference calls to share, discuss and send feedback reports of various topics under discussion. Some conference calls also include visual aids like live camera; video clipping demonstrations, power-point presentations and many more can be viewed on computer screens while listening to the conversation simultaneously. Students are excited about this system and are encouraged to participate in sessions to widen their knowledge. Cost factor is never a problem, as it usually takes the cost of the phone connectivity to the local hub.
