Conference Call Recording Made Easy

I have created my fair share of podcasts and found that recording phone conversations for interviews was a must. I also found that recording conference calls was a brutal exercise in futility and frustrating to say the least.

Even Jason Calacanis of Mahalo asked the question.

Yes, there are plenty of conference call companies out there who provide recording now but it seems bizarre how many of them are still delivering actual CDs and Tapes!? Most of them do not even make the recordings available online after the call, you have to ask for it and it costs extra.

And yes, there are free conference call providers out there that allow you to use their service free of charge who do provide recordings, but you have to pay for the long distance toll charges.

With Lypp it’s as simple as a checkbox when you create your conference call online or if you are using the system in an ad-hoc reservationless fashion you can just enter “6#” on your phone to start or stop recording. Within a few minutes your call recording(s) will be waiting for you at Lypp.com.

I know I am tooting my own horn a bit here but the system works like a charm.

Next week, we are going to be interviewing a few of the Lypp Conferencing customers that use the Lypp recording feature and sharing those podcasts with our readers via my Lypp Recordings RSS feed.

Conference calling of old = no fun

There are quite a few services out there providing phone conferencing and conference calling services but none are really leveraging the technology that is available today to make the experience pleasant for the attendees or moderators. So many conferences start late, or attendees forget altogether to dial-in, meaning valuable time is wasted and the benefits of meeting with remote employees, clients or partners go out the window.

Reservationless or operator-assisted, old school conference calls might as well be in the dictionary, next to "bad user experience".

Gaboogie was conceived to do what other conference providers are not: make phone conferences easy and even fun to use!

Why do I have remember PINs and dial-in numbers? Why doesn't the conference call me?

Why would I want a conference call operator to control my call when I can have my Executive Assistant attend to that with little or no effort?

Why would I pay two people to do something that one person can easily deal with or maybe I want to deal with myself!? Come on, that's crazy talk!

Yes, Gaboogie calls the moderator and all the attendees; no-one needs to remember to call in. As the moderator, you can mute/unmute, drop and add new callers on the fly during the call.

Watch as attendees put up their hands and answer them on a private channel / sub-conference simply by clicking on their hand. Record the conference to MP3 and it's autmotically transformed into a podcast for you to share or to review privately at a later date.

These are just some of the features available in the upcoming public release of Gaboogie.
