[Nfb-krafters-korner] Monday Night Chat June 20

[Deborah Armstrong]

I enjoyed the chat, and I hope I didn't forget to mute myself.


When I took the class Saturday, I was careful to use technology with 
which I was already familiar. I used a soft phone program for my PC 
which I love.


But with the chat, I wanted to try out the FreeConferenceCall app. It 
had several unlabeled buttons, and when I pushed one, I thought it had 
hung up, but it had just switched the phone to internal earpiece, it 
disconnected my bluetooth headset. I put the phone in my purse.


Later, when I still heard your voices on the chat, I worried that all 
the rattling on the paratransit van had disturbed others on the call and 
perhaps I'd accidentally unmuted myself. If that happened, my sincerest 
apologies!


I'll try to continue to join the chats on my commute when I can using 
the app. If I disturb anyone because I'm experimenting with the app, 
please email me and let me know I'm being a nuisance.


Meanwhile, I'll ask on the NFB in Computer science list if anyone else 
can tell me what the unlabeled buttons do;  I bet other divisions use 
this same service.


One cool thing about using the app is that it is completely free except 
for data charges, and it doesn't mess up incoming or outgoing calls. I 
made several calls to my husband who was worried because the van was 
late. The app automatically kept me connected but muted my phone 
conversation, then seamlessly returned me to the conference. This meant 
I didn't use any celular minutes on the conference call.
