The term “audio conferencing” may sound technical but it refers to a very simple task. Audio conferencing means talking on a phone or an audio system where multiple people can listen to your voice. The conference begins with two people and either of both can add more people to take part in the conversation. The process of making such call is bit complicated and involves few specially designed equipments. It is called Conference Bridge and special numbers allotted to the people in audio conferencing. Audio conferencing has become hugely popular among business owners as it works very handily in meetings and conferences. But it has been observed that business owners hesitate from owning a set up. They prefer to seek help from service providers for this purpose and these service providers help them by maintaining the connection bridge and giving them access to the numbers used for this purpose. In this write-up, we try to give general information on etiquettes to be followed while on an audio conference or phone systems VoIP or voice over Internet protocol.
The first etiquette is that you should know how to operate an audio conferencing machine. These equipments have many options like call recording, tracking the people attending the conference, multimedia services and many others. Thus to avoid embarrassment, you should be familiar with all the functions of such equipments.
The second tip in this connection is that all attendees should be aware of the time of the conference. Moreover, they should know the process to get in and out of live or disconnected calls.
This system helps you in a great deal by saving your time and money, increases productivity and by bringing distant employees connected to a common phone call. Thus, it becomes your responsibility to plan it effectively to get the best out of it.
While being a part of an audio conference, you should avoid using your mobile phone. Not only this, you should also avoid using it for making audio conferencing calls. The reason for the first statement is that their signal could interrupt the signal of your conference and secondly, the signal of mobile phones is not strong enough to hold the pressure of audio conferencing.
Before making the final call, remember to make a dummy call to verify that all equipments are working well and everyone is present for the conference.
