Conference calling still welcomes an increasing popularity. And given the benefits it brings this is not surprising. Of course there a significant savings on traveling and -even more important- on traveling time. Research has shown that a conference call usually is more efficient (ie takes less time) than a physical meeting. Apparently a teleconference forces participants to a more structured approach for their meeting.
A conference call is nothing more than a phone call with more than two participants. A distinction is made between dial-out and dial-in conference calls. In a dial-in meeting, the participants call to the dial-in for their participation. And in a dial-out conference they are called by the chairperson or by the conferencing service provider. Sometimes the Internet is used to empower the chairperson and the participants of a teleconference. Sometimes a real-time status overview can accessed during the meeting that shows which participants are present, that allows the chairperson to mute and unmute microphones of participants. Also the Internet can be used to make a recording of the conference call downloadable.
A teleseminar is a special form of a teleconference. Usually there is one speaker and many listeners. This requires specific tools for the speaker. For example to mute the microphones of all participants at once preventing the presentation being disturbed by annoying background noise. A teleseminar can be extended with web based services that enable sharing a presentation, the desktop or a webcam. In that case we speak of a webinar.
