How to Use Skype for Conference Calls

Do you want to host conference calls, but you don’t want to pay for the ability to do so or have to navigate complex phone systems?
Then you’re in luck. Skype can be used to host free conference calls with anyone else on Skype. These conference calls can be used by families and friends or by small businesses. There are two different ways to host a Skype conference call, and both methods take less than a minute to learn.

Using Skype to Conference via Groups

If you are not already in a call with one or more people you can start a conference call by using Skype’s Group function. A Group is simply a list of contacts which have been placed together under a group name. For example, you could create a Group called Work and place all of your co-workers in it. Or you could create a Group called Friends and place all of your friends in it. These Groups show up in the Skype display as if they were contacts.

To make a new Group go to the Contact menu at the top of the Skype window and select Create New Groups. An instant messenger window called “Empty Group” will open with a space at the top for dragging and dropping contacts. If you just want to just add a few people to your Group go ahead and drag and drop their names from the contact list. When you are done click the Save Group in Contacts button.

However, if you want to add numerous contacts it is best to use the Add People button in the upper right of the window. This displays a menu for adding contacts which can display more contacts at a time. You can add contacts by clicking on the a contact’s name and hitting select. Once you have added everyone you wanted click the Add button at the bottom of the window. This will put you back into the instant messenger window. Click Save Group in Contacts and you’re done.

Now that you have created a group it is easy to start a conference call. Simply click the group and then press the Call button just as you would when calling a contact. You’ve just started a conference call. Continue reading…

Video conferencing services are rapidly becoming one of the most popular business communication and meeting tools on the market. More and more business entities are realizing the benefit to using a video conferencing system as a standard part of company operations. Whether it’s performed on an individual basis, such as desktop video conferencing, or if it’s a larger form of internet video conferencing, corporations are seeing the concept of company meetings be more convenient and employees be more productive. As a result video conferencing makes companies more profitable.

An online search will help you find video conferencing equipment and software, as well as video conferencing services both quickly and easily. The ability to hold meetings between employees based in numerous locations is the key feature that has made this so convenient and cost-effective. Now you can conduct interviews, hold meetings and seminars, and give business lectures with the ease of clicking your mouse. The only way that video conferencing can be limited is by your own imagination.

People who work from home and telecommute from their home office are using the concept as well. Overall, it makes an amazing difference in the cost of doing business and bringing people together. It is also beneficial in that it eliminates most travel expenses incurred when on the road, so wasting valuable time commuting to company meetings is no longer an issue. Simply switch on your webcam and your right in the conference. Video conferencing also makes globalization a reality as people worldwide can attend meetings with no inconvenience involved. The world is easily accessible with this innovative technology. Continue reading…

Global businesses can not always afford to send delegates to meet in person. The business needs require meetings between offices on national and global levels, but the costs involved in transporting staff members to attend meetings all over the world can be prohibitive. Videoconferencing solves this problem, and for little more than the cost of the internet system the business already has on line, is a cheap and cost effective way of resolving national or global issues.

However, many managers fail to make the most of this technology and some virtual meetings become a waste of time for the participants. To avoid this, there are some basic rules to follow when using videoconference technology. Continue reading…

I bet most of you have had the need to convert a video or audio file from one format to another, either because your favorite software doesn’t support the first one or you needed to make the file smaller, or maybe you had another reason to.

Most of the users in this situation find out that there are very few good tools that will help them. Even paid software has some bugs, is difficult to use or somehow just doesn’t want to work as you intend it to.
I’m going to show you a secret that will solve all these problems. There is a piece of software in this world that is indispensable for the arsenal of a media lover and artist. It is a free utility called SUPER. And indeed it is super!

It allows you to convert almost any audio and video file to any other format AND specify all parameters that can be specified: size, aspect ratio, compression, sampling frequency, frame rate and anything else that is part of a video or audio composition.

I’m going to explain how to get it (it’s not as easy as it sounds) and the basics of using it.
First, to download it, head over to http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html , scroll past the ad(s) at the top to the very bottom where you’ll see some more advertisements and a link saying “Start Downloading SUPER”. Click on it, then scroll down about 5 lines and click the “download and use” link, which is blue (in between red text). Continue reading…

Small to medium-sized businesses, while not in the same league as corporate businesses, still need to hold conferences of one sort or another.

Your business offers to organise the event. You recommend the most suitable venue and organize transport, maps and accommodation, if necessary. You handle the conference literature, including any invitations. You also find out what specific facilities are needed at the venue and organize them: refreshments, facilities for disabled people, writing equipment, audio-visual aids, video-recording facilities, display boards, to name a few. You have to be Continue reading…

Some of the most confident and accomplished business people are terrified at the prospect of speaking to groups of people, especially if it is an unknown group such as speaking at a conference.  There are so many ways to overcome this fear, but advice from well meaning friends is often conflicting.  Should you read from a prepared script (and stick to it) or Continue reading…

By Rick Smith

Of all the fears we face as adults, public speaking is always near the top of the list for most people. Despite this fact, there is a large sector of the population that makes their living as presenters for conferences and at workshops, and love it. They have discovered how intoxicating it can be to present to a large group of people and captivate their attention for long periods of time. Either explaining a very complex technical subject and trying to convince the audience to buy their solution, or other times trying to motivate those in the audience to improve some aspect of their lives. All of it comes down to Continue reading…
