FreeConferenceCall.com

Pros

I like that this video conferencing tool imitates Zoom with its waiting room, fixed meeting room link, and decent video conferencing features like video backgrounds and private chats with file sending. The annotating feature for screensharing is similar to Zoom's feature as well, a big plus.

Cons

I have the desktop app and it's always logging me out of my account, to the point that it's annoying. I have to constantly log in, which I don't have to do with any other applications unless I sign out myself. The connection/server does have glitches and disconnects during video meetings, so I have to reload pretty often. The annotating feature does need improvement, too: if I annotate on someone's screenshare or they annotate on my screenshare, I should be able to see it on my screen, not the screenshare preview window that is separate. Another feature I'd like to see in development is the minimized window that "pops out" for Google Meet and Zoom meetings so clients can see each other while working in other applications.

Pros

It works and it's free. It is easy to jump on and have a one-on-one with colleagues across the building.

Cons

I find the obscure advertisement at the end of the session pretty annoying.

Pros

Free; reliable; an easy to understand interface for both scheduling meetings and joining them; several "local" call-in numbers for landlines, and the paid tiers offer even more customization and usefulness.

Cons

There are occasions when I have experienced issues trying to multi-task with the app open and having it close or crash on my Android phone (reading notes while the call app is supposed to run in the background) - although, admittedly, this could be some sort of 'power saving' feature of my own phone.

Its easy and accessible for all to use and very user friendly. I was skeptical at first but it's been my go-to for almost a year now. Couldn't work without it.

Pros

Easy to use, feedback given on the calls, totally convenient and in our budget.

There is nothing currently that we dislike about FCC. Early on we would get a lot of static and some times we would have to hang up and call back. But not in over 2 years. All good.

The call summary option that is sent after a call is completed is wonderful... There are not that many services that offer this.

Cons

At times there are technical glitches, as is the case with all conference calling platforms that I have experienced.

Pros

I like the flexibility that is provided by this service.

Cons

Too many button pushes to mute and unmute the entire call. Why not have a different code for presentation mode and users can unmute themselves.

Pros

I like the feature that everyone can gather together on one call. In addition, the mute and unmute features are fantastic.

Cons

When I join the conference call, I am muted already.

Pros

It's free for basic usage. It's compatible with all devices. Invited users aren't required to login.

I haven't figured out how to zoom in on uploaded documents. (My students can see the info perfectly well. But, my desktop doesn't show every detail. I have to refer to the original document.)

Nothing. This is a great product. We have been using it for eight years.

Sharing your screen had to be figured out. It wasn’t easy.

Pros

Our basic usage is free this has helped us launch and platform our Wednesday morning corporate prayer audio meeting for the past 6-7 years

Cons

Pros

The service allows is to join in memebera who are not able to attend in person. Right price-point for our congregation.

A few times it was not available...but VERY few times.

Pros

The price and use friendly features are valuable.

Cons

I honestly can’t think of any improvements.

Alternatives Considered

Pros

We began using FreeConferenceCall during the pandemic and it has been a great asset in keeping the congregation connected. We have a weekly prayer call on Tuesday, participants dial-in to Bible study on Wednesday, and there are times we use it for our Sunday morning service for those not able to attend. It has been a great value in comparison to alternative options and our elderly members are able to manage the simplicity. There are further uses we have yet to explore but look forward to expanding its usage.

Cons

Sometimes the dial-in numbers need to be changed due to not continuing to be free through their provider.

Pros

We use this call daily to do our morning and evening report which is so important because in hospice things change very quickly. Its nice to have the ability use this free function, especially in a world where every thing is rising in cost. We are very grateful for free conference call

Cons

The mute function is not very friendly, some are muted as they join the call, others are not, then some users cannot get off mute when needed. That is our only complaint

Pros

I prefer to use this platform over any others such as zoom. I feel like even for the free version, it offers a lot of great perks and services! I love the fact that there is a drawing board that can be used during the meetings too.

Cons

That I cannot see someone when sharing my screen. And that I can't video record on the free version . Unfortunately the free conference link also does not sink up with my calendly account to go onto peoples google calendars automatically.

Pros

everyone can hear everyone. no breakup or line cracking

Cons

the only thing to improve is when someone is singing . one is ahead than the other. but still good not a problem.

The ease of use as compared to Zoom and Go To Meeting

Cons

Many times our 3rd party users that we schedule who are used to Zoom and Go To Meeting have problems using it and audio problems are very typical.

Pros

Free Conference Call is a very professional, effective and easy way of communicating, whether it's one-on-one or for meeting and making presentations before large groups.

All of the features I've utilized so far have been pretty easy to navigate as a facilitator and for the attendees.

Pros

Easy to use, and appreciate that I get a meeting summary after the meeting which shows who actually attended the meeting. Pricing is hard to beat.
