The benefits of conference call apps
The ability to meet and chat remotely saves time, travel expenses, and environmental costs. Here are some other benefits of conference call apps:
Provides an accessible internal communication channel
One major advantage of a conference calling app is it allows remote teams—and office-based workers who are travelling or away from their desks—to communicate from anywhere and on any device. As apps like Dialpad are device-agnostic, it doesn’t matter which operating system participants are using.
This makes such apps great cloud collaboration tools, even if your remote team members are spread across the globe. And, by using the internet instead of phone lines, calling costs are reduced, even for international conference calls.
Enhances the client presentation experience
Video conferencing apps with screen share are perfect for communicating with clients and prospects, whether you’re giving a product demo, showing artwork, or talking them through a contract. You can also use conference calls as a webinar or as live-streaming events.
As well as screen sharing, some conference call apps include digital whiteboard functionality, which enables participants to interact with the document or image being shared. You might also incorporate real-time text chat for sharing comments without interrupting the presenter.
Allows effective and high-quality virtual meetings
Modern conferencing solutions run on VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), which often offers better audio quality than traditional landlines and enables you to hold seamless video meetings as well.
A variety of host controls help make your calls more effective, such as muting participants or setting up a virtual waiting room. With Dialpad’s free online meeting plan, you get screen sharing and unlimited call recordings.

FAQs about conference call apps
A conference call is when a group of people participate in a simultaneous conversation via audio or video. It’s a way for remote teams and clients to communicate and collaborate as if they were together in a physical conference room.
Conference calls may take place over traditional phone lines, but these days businesses are more likely to use a conference calling app with extra features like screen share and call recording.
This may depend on the app you use, whether you have a free plan or paid plan, and on the type of meeting you want to hold.
Other than that, your only limitation is the strength of your internet connection, which needs to be robust enough to handle high numbers of attendees. You could invite the entire company for special announcements or presentations, or keep the numbers lower for collaboration and feedback.
It’s best to stay muted unless you’re speaking and to join the call from a quiet place with no distractions. Try to log or dial in slightly earlier than the scheduled time, and check your mic and camera are working. If you’re hosting an audio or video conference, provide the links or dial-in numbers to everyone in good time.
On video conference calls, maintain eye contact and look interested in the conversation—don’t eat your lunch or play on your phone during the meeting. Use a plain background or add a virtual one (nobody wants to see your pile of dirty laundry!)
A conference app is a dedicated piece of software you can download onto your computer or mobile phone for holding audio or video calls with multiple participants at the same time. These are usually cloud-based and operate using VoIP for high-quality calls over the internet.
It’s possible to get a conference call app for iPad, iPhone, Android, or desktop—preferably one that covers all of the above! Some apps, like Dialpad, offer free conference calling / video meetings.
