I would still like to see \u00dcberConference let users assign their own conference numbers to \u00dcberConference accounts, but if you can get every member of your team to use the service, it provides useful visual feedback and features like call recording and call history that make it worth considering\u2014even if you already have a conferencing solution.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These are the problems that \u00dcberConference, a new (and currently free) conferencing tool from Firespotter Labs, was created to solve.
