Maybe we have a very different definition of conferencing, but I don't consider skype capable of conferencing. It can't record conferences (including what is presented), it can't pre-share a link to a planned conference to participants, it can't have the organizer mute/unmute others and grant presenter status (critical for larger-scale online conferences), etc...
I use gotomeeting for conferencing. For an ad-hoc conference I just create a meeting and share the link to it across mail/skype/... to all participants.
- kodfodrasz 9y agoI said simple ad-hoc conference calls. Like a phone conference, even more simply: just drag and drop some contacts to a call, and they all can participate. (It worked like a charm in skype. you can even share a screen and files and chat with the conference call) No conference link, no recording, no fancy web-ex like stuff. If you take a look at recent success stories many had a success through simplicity. Startups, ordinary people, small business don't want the enterprisey complicated stuff where a complete IT department is needed to set up a conference. They like simple stuff that works, and are willing to give up some expectations due to limitations of a tool. (I had to give up far more expectations for enterprisey stuff for consumer stuff)
