The best app will make you forget it\u2019s even there. It will function seamlessly at all times and will allow you to conduct a meeting with no interruptions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which app should you choose for your next meeting? The answer depends on the needs of your team, and there are a lot of factors to consider.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What To Consider When Choosing Conference Call Apps<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What should you be looking for when it comes to choosing the perfect video conferencing app? There are many factors to consider \u2013 from the features the app offers to the compatibility to the integrations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no such thing as the perfect conference call app \u2013 your team just needs to decide on the right app for your needs. Here are some of the things to consider:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cost: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cost of your conferencing app will make a big difference. Some of the apps will be free or available for a very low monthly rate, but they may not include all the features you need.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Number of Participants:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Do you have a small remote team? Or do you need to be able to host large meetings with many participants?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Usability:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The right conferencing software will be incredibly easy for everyone on your team to use.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>\u201cShare My Screen\u201d:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Do your team members need to be able to share their screen on occasion? This feature makes it easy to show everyone else what you have been working on or give a presentation to explain something visually.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Security: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the security features of the conferencing app? These are important to consider as well so that you can ensure the security of your team.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Calendar Integrations:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Having a conferencing app that will sync with your calendar app makes planning meetings a lot easier. It will automatically create an event for the meeting and send out invitations to all participants \u2013 making sure no one is missing the important meeting.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Compatibility<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Of course, another key factor is whether or not the conference call apps are compatible with the equipment your team is using. If your team member isn\u2019t able to use the app because it is only for a Mac and they are on a PC, it probably won\u2019t work.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Noise Cancelling: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a very important feature for your conferencing app to be able to support. A noise cancelling add-on app such as <a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/\">Krisp<\/a> will allow you to filter out all distracting noise and have clear, easy-to-understand conversations even if there are barking dogs, street noise or coffee-shop chatter in the background.\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/krisp.ai\/\"><b>Get Krisp for Free<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[demo-new]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are just a few examples of the types of features and factors to consider when choosing the right conference call app for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prefer to watch?

It feels like a hidden gem, as it\u2019s the only conference call app on this list that is 100% free. Jitsi Meet is an open-source project, and as such, it doesn\u2019t cost you any money to use it, but the user experience is a tad confusing since it\u2019s geared toward technical people who want to modify or customize the app.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s okay, though, because it\u2019s actually quite simple to get started. If you go to meet.jit.si, you can launch a meeting directly from your browser without installing anything or creating an account. You can even create your own meeting URL. Once you\u2019ve joined the meeting, you\u2019ll find a surprisingly vast array of features, such as a chat box, polls, screen sharing, ability to virtually raise a hand, and security options. In the security settings, you can enable a Lobby so that a moderator must formally approve of a participant before they can enter a room, and you can even turn on end-to-end encryption (which, you should note, is still \u201cexperimental\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jitsi also allows you to enable noise suppression, but reports on how well it works are variable.

It allows you to instantly host virtual meetings from directly within your CRM to nurture leads and communicate with customers. Zoho Meeting has solid features for boosting meeting engagement, including audience polls, Q&amp;As, and hand-raising. And for those concerned about online meeting privacy, Zoho Meeting allows hosts to lock meetings, remove unwanted attendees, and receive ring notifications when someone enters and exits a call.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well-suited for teams that are already using Zoho CRM<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zoho Meeting is included in the price of the Zoho One subscription, so you can get a CRM and help desk software (and more!) in one pricing plan.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The virtual backgrounds feature can be a little wonky at first, and the line between your face and the background is not as clean as other apps, such as Zoom.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The desktop app is a little sluggish.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Price<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a free plan that allows up to 100 attendees for up to 60 minutes.
