Organize your conference call by notifying all participants of the date and time for your conference call and provide them with the conference dial-in number and participant access code.
Login to your FreeConferenceCallHD account at www.freeconferencecallhd.com and go to the Conference Preferences tab to preset your preferences before your conference call begins.
What are Conference Preferences?
Preferences allow you to set your conference features like entry and exit tones to be on or off when a participant joins the conference call. It allows you to disconnect callers if the host is not present, and the caller count feature can be turned on or off.
At the specified time all participants dial the conference dial-in number and enter the participant access code. As the host you will also join via telephone with the same conference dial-in number and host access code.
Please Note: When dialing into your conference, we may call you back to ensure the best quality of service. If this happens, simply answer the call and we'll connect you to your conference. If you have a US mobile phone number and would like to proactively request a call back you can do so by texting “Call Me” to the US dial-in number of your conference.
