Conference calling works like a telephone call, which allows the calling-party to have more than one called-party to listen in or to communicate. Conference calling can be customized as per requirements: the called-party can be allowed to speak or just made to listen to the audio portion of the calling-party. Conference calling has been a great asset to the business world, and it is also known as Audio Teleconferencing among the corporate professionals. Though conference calling has been used for quite a long-time, some latest additions to its technology and infrastructure have rendered a new image to it and have boosted its use in many other sectors apart from the business.
