What sort of features shout you expect from a conference calling service? Well they are multiple and each has its own value, depending on what you're looking for. For example:

• Control over the conference via internet. Monitor who's calling.
• Set up a pre-conference call, where selected participants can discuss issues prior to the start of the main conference.
• Most offer a RECORD feature. This allows you you record digitally the conference so you can type up minutes later. Some conference calling services allow an AUTO RECORD feature so you don't even have to set this up as you start the call.
• Having recorded the conference you may even use it to allow other participants to listen to the conference.

Conference Call Recording If you choose to record a conference then some web based accounts will allow tremendous control from your desk top. With the simple click of the mouse or a key stroke on your telephone keypad, you have the record abilities at your finger-tips. Your digital recordings are available for download later.

Recording Playback Having this feature is great. If a participant misses a vital call then you can allow playpack over the telephone line or produce a digital copy for them to listen to at their convenience. Use the feature to update clients. You can invite participants to accesss, by using a PIN for them to access the recording.
