The ones with paperclips have files that were uploaded during the call. On the left are the calls for the last week. You will see a summary of your Speek usage for the last 30 days, which you can change to a different time period. It’s not a requirement, but it may make it easier for you later.Ĭlick on “Hey ” in the top right corner to access your Speek dashboard. You’ll be given the option to name your call. Since there isn’t much information for them to go on, you either need to speak very quickly once they’re connected or drop them an email or text message to let them know that Speek will be calling on your behalf. When they answer, they will hear, “Welcome to Speek,” and then they will be connected to your conference call. Have someone else you want to add to the call? Click the person icon in the top right corner, and enter the person’s phone number. This is a useful space to take notes or put together a to-do list for each conference call participant. I could access my files directly through, say, .Ĭlick on the “Comments” tab to, well, add comments. Maybe it makes sense if I’m using a computer that is not mine. I see the “link your accounts” option, but I’m not sure what benefit that serves when you can just drag and drop. If someone arrives late, they won’t be able to see the already-uploaded files. The only people who can see the files are the people who are currently on the call.
Speek conference download#
Participants who are connected to the call by something other than a phone can click on the filename to download it. Or you can click “file browser” to navigate to the file you want to upload. Drag and drop a file from a folder onto the gray box on the right side of the screen. This is an essential tool for when the postal carrier comes and your dogs go bananas – hypothetically speaking.Ĭlick the “Files” tab to share files with the others on the call. To mute yourself, click the speaker icon in the top right corner of the screen.
If you mouse over one of your conference call participants, you will see the options to mute them or remove them from the call altogether. I don’t know that this last feature actually keeps certain problematic people from dominating the call, but for those who don’t wish to dominate, it’s useful feedback. The “Conference” tab shows who is on the call, who is currently talking (outlined in green), and the percent of time each person has spoken displayed under each avatar. At the bottom of the screen are a set of tabs. Here it’s me and my guest where my guest was actually me calling in on another device. Once connected, you’ll see everyone on the call. Your participants can choose any of the three methods as well. Connect to the call by using the mic/headphone on your computer, have Speek call your phone, or you can call in to the Speek number then enter a PIN. Your conference call participants will see the same screen when they visit the page. This will give you administrative privileges on the call. Before you connect, be sure to log in to Speek. Visiting that URL brings up the connect page.
Speek conference free#
When you create your free account, the username you choose will be your Speek URL.
Only the person originating the call needs to have a Speek account. Give your Speek URL to your conference call participants (in the free version up to 5 people can join a call including you), and Speek will give them three options for connecting to your call. is one of the newest kids on the audio communication block. Like Join.Me, Speek just needs users who can follow a link. And maybe you have some people who will be on the call who haven’t bothered with downloading Skype or figuring out Google Hangouts. You just want to have a conference call (maybe join via your computer or by phone), see who is speaking during the call, and maybe even share some files. (See the most recent post.) But let’s say that you don’t want to share your screen. I’ve written before about Join.Me for communicating with others while sharing your computer screen.
