Why I use UberConference (and FreeConferenceCall.com)

I've tried a couple free conference-call services. Here's why I like UberConference:
  • The host can share her computer screen with participants who log in by computer.
  • I don’t have to schedule a call. If I do, I can get reminders, notifications when others join, etc.
  • Registered users don’t have to enter a code to join calls.
  • Participants can call in or use the audio equipment on their computers.
  • Participants can log in to see who’s talking at any point during the call.
  • Participants who use the online login (no registration needed) can edit others’ phone number to show their names.
  • It can connect with LinkedIn, Twitter, and other social media to show profile pictures and some other shared information.
  • It sends a summary of the call, with a list of participants and how long each talked, after the call. Settings can also be set to send the summary to participants.
  • Host can record the call.
  • Host can pick hold music!
