Ask HN: How do you manage teleconferencing and what do you use?

7 pointsby probdistover 6 years ago
Recently, I&#x27;ve been very frustrated with the quality of teleconferences I&#x27;ve been on. I&#x27;ve had calls in the last year on Skype&#x2F;MSFT Teams&#x2F;Webex&#x2F;Zoom&#x2F;Bluejeans&#x2F;Gotomeeting&#x2F;Various Webinar Products&#x2F;POTS only conference numbers. Very few went flawlessly.<p>One thing that always surprises me is how much background noise folks in conference rooms can generate. My office main conference room has a fairly expensive logitech conference phone with multiple satellite microphones and we use zoom for conferencing. The background noise problem is not solved well with this set up.<p>We encourage everyone not talking to go on mute, but this is difficult for people calling from conference rooms. If i&#x27;m in a conference room I will actively manage the muting&#x2F;unmuting but most folks in meetings seem to not want to be effectively limited to &quot;push to talk&quot; mode.<p>A challenge is also with third parties from large corporate orgs that can&#x27;t download plugins or software for calls beyond what they have corporate standardized on. Resulting in people dialed in only and not seeing slides&#x2F;screenshares.<p>TLDR: What software&#x2F;hardware&#x2F;and business practices do you use for conference calls or telemeetings?
