Have a free online conference call using Skype



We have all gone through the experience of trying to match different schedules and locations when trying to organize parent meetings. We have found a way to meet these challenges.
This is a free method of connecting individuals or groups online using Voice over the Interent Protocol (VOIP) with Skype.

Recipe:
1. Computer with audio and usb headsets; internet access and a free Skype account.
2. Create a Skype account register at Skype
The user id you create will be used to connect the other members of your group. WIth this setup you will be able to communicate from one computer to anothercomputer to any where in the world for free.

3. Setup a conference call.
Open your contacts list.

From the menu bar at the top of the screen, select call. From the drop down menu select conference call.

In the conference call widow, Select the contact from the list and move the contact to the second window. Continue to add contacts until you have all the contacts you wish to join the meeting.
When you have finished select start. The conference call will begin and you can start your meeting.

Send your meeting agenda to all the participants by email. You are all set. You can forget about the babysitter.
