To use the free conference call feature, set up a group of users by clicking on their names in your contact list on the left. You can also create an impromptu conference call by adding people to the call once it has started. You will get a message to either end the current call, or add a user to the call.

Skype allows users to make free conference calls worldwide. If your associates and colleagues are not on Skype yet, you can purchase a subscription for unlimited usage to North America for only$2.99 a month. You do not need to have a video camera to use the audio portion of Skype, so don’t let that intimidate you. I do not use my webcam during trainings because it is distracting to the client and I would rather the client focus on the screen. Skype has a screen sharing feature where one user can share his screen with the other and both callers can collaborate.
