Conference calls are an important part of day-to-day business life. And yet, after decades of innovation, 70% of business users are still dialling in with phone numbers and access codes. They\u2019re not using software for a better meeting experience.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s face it, dialing in can be a frustrating experience.<\/p>\n
And as well as wasting time, these issues may have significant security implications.<\/p>\n
With such a poor user experience, and with so many remote meeting solutions available, why do so many people persist with dial-in?<\/p>\n
Adopting new software typically involves a process of \u2018trial and error\u2019. This type of learning is fine for many software products, but it doesn\u2019t work for remote meetings and other collaboration tools. If you\u2019re a host, live in the \u2018hot seat\u2019 with multiple guests, the last thing you want is for anything to go wrong because you\u2019re still learning a new product.<\/p>\n
Dial-in may well be a poor experience. But it\u2019s the safe bet.<\/p>\n
Tech goliaths have tried to drag conferencing out of the \u2018dark ages\u2019 with feature-rich offerings. They have had some success with tech-savvy early adopters within organisations. But the mainstream majority are intimidated by product complexity and prefer to play it safe with dial-in. Their meeting experience remains poor, and IT decision-makers remain frustrated by the slow adoption of \u2018better\u2019 options.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s plenty of room for improvement.<\/p>\n
So, are we doomed to a future of painful dial-in with its associated security issues? Certainly not. At LoopUp, we design our products specifically for the mainstream. In the risk-averse world of remote meetings, our mission is to move the 70% on from dial-in.<\/p>\n
LoopUp doesn\u2019t overwhelm users with features. We believe \u2018less is more\u2019 when it comes to remote meetings. Our simple interface guides users through an intuitive experience \u2013 no training required. We focus on delivering a reliable, high quality audio and visual experience on every call.<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s working. Our users are now foregoing dial-in 75% of the time. Instead, LoopUp calls out to a phone of their choice and guides them to a helpful interface where they can see \u2018who just joined\u2019 and \u2018who\u2019s speaking.\u2019 Users can send invites in a couple of clicks from Outlook or the LoopUp account area, or share their screen with just one click \u2013 no downloads required to view.<\/p>\n
Finally, dial-in can fade into the background, replaced by a new level of visibility and security.<\/p>\n
