Audio conferencing
Audio conferencing has evolved way beyond the traditional conference call. Today there are a variety of technical ways to connect, including:
- VoIP services
- Toll free numbers
- Toll numbers, including international numbers
- Global callback options
- Audio broadcast
- Personal conference numbers
Reservationless audio conferencing
You can schedule audio conferences in advance or hold ad-hoc "reservationless" teleconferences. Schedule audio only conferences from Outlook just like you would any other appointment. Or, with systems like WebEx Audio Conferencing, schedule audio-only meetings instantly from any phone if you're away from your desk.
Integrate web conferencing with audio conferencing
More and more people are expanding beyond basic audio conferencing by using web conferencing to share presentations and collaborate online. Audio that is integrated with web conferencing makes it easier on your attendees and you.
- Send a single invitation with instructions for joining both the audio conference and web conference.
- Quickly set up ad-hoc meetings
- Identify who's talking in your web meeting by looking at your control panel.
- Reduce disruptions by muting everyone or just certain attendees.
- Simplify your accounting by having a single vendor for both web and audio conferencing.
Deliver an audio broadcast to thousands
If you need to deliver a presentation which your attendees will primarily listen to and not participate in, use WebEx Audio Broadcast. Thousands of people can join your event and watch the presentation on your computer while listening to you through their computer speakers rather than dialing into a traditional telephony conference. This cuts the costs of your large events dramatically.
Host, presenters, and panelists join the meeting via traditional telephony-based audio conferencing while your attendees listen to a one-way audio stream sent directly to their computers. Your attendees only need a sound card and speakers or headphones to listen while they watch your presentation on their computer.
"Our phone bill has been reduced by 20% as a result of doing more of our phone calls on WebEx’s network."
—Joakim Gustafsson, Business Development Manager, ReadSoft
