Google Voice – Conference calling
Conference call is a way of communicating between various parties through audio, video and web. There are normally three types of conference calling; web, video and audio conferencing. Call conferencing is very handy for organisations whose branches are scattered in various parts of the World for keeping in contact or have meetings in regular basis.
There are advantages and disadvantages of having conference calls and they are listed below.
The advantages of call conferencing is that it is cost effective as you will be able to invite more than one attendee in the conference other than calling each attendee individiually through a phone call. Another advantage of conference calling is provided by video conferencing, which allows attendees to view the caller or vice versa.
However there are also disadvantages of choosing call conferencingsuch as while choosing to do a audio conferencing some of the jokes or remarks can be misunderstood into something else by individuals as they are not able to see the facial expression of the conference caller. Another major disadvantage of audio conferencing is that the quality of the call lowers when more people are added to the conference call. One of the benefit of web and audio conferencing is the cost, these services are cheaper than use of video conferencing. Web communication is cheaper than the other services but it is very time consuming as you are communication via texts. This type of text based web conferencing has in the past cause a lot of misunderstanding than audio and video conferencings.
Conference calling is one of the best ways of communication within the organisations but it also has its ups and downs.
