Conference call is a way of communicating between various parties through audio, video and web. There are three types of conference calling; web, video and audio conferencing. Call conferencing is very handy for organisations whose branches are scattered in various parts of the World for keeping in contact or have meetings in regular basis.

There are also pros and cons of having conference calls which has been outlined below.

One benefit of call conferencing is that it is cost effective. You will be able to invite more than one people to attend your meeting or presentation from various parts of the World other than doing it through the phone individually. Another big advantage of call conferencing is via video conferencing, which allows attendees to view the caller or vice versa, as it is always good to put a face to the voice.

However even after these advantages there are still some disadvantages by choosing call conferencingsuch as while choosing to do a audio conferencing some of the jokes or remarks can be misunderstood into something else by individuals as they are not able to see the facial expression of the conference caller. Another disadvantage can be the quality of the call, more people you add to the conference the quality becomes lower and lower. The advantage of having an audio or web conferencing is it turns out to be cheaper than the video conferencing. Web communication is cheaper than the other services but it is very time consuming as you are communication via texts. This type of text based web conferencing has in the past cause a lot of misunderstanding than audio and video conferencings.

Conference calling is one of the best ways of communication within the organisations but it also has its ups and downs.
