Join Teleconference Using an App on your Phone or Tablet

Picture
  • If you have a smartphone (e.g. Android, iPhone) or tablet (e.g. iPad) that is connected to the Internet (WiFi or cellular data), you have the option to connect to our teleconference using an app on your mobile device. The audio quality is very good, often much better than dialing in. This is the recommended method to connect to our services since all participants benefit. Here's how ... read on.
  • From the Apple or Android app store, download, install and open the "Free Conference Call" app on your smartphone or tablet. Here's how:
    • Link to Apple store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/free-conference-call/id1076834814
    • Link to Google Play for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.freeconferencecall.fccmeetingclient
    • Or you can search your app store for the app named "Free Conference Call" (there are other similar sounding apps including Free Conference Call HD, FCCHD & FreeConference.com -- do not select these)
  • Tap to Continue with the agreement terms
  • It is NOT necessary to Create Account or Log In
  • Tap JOIN on the bottom left of the screen
  • Tap Join New Meeting
  • Enter cstampabay  as the Meeting ID, then tap Join
  • Select “Call In Using WiFi or Data”
  • In the "Your Name" box, enter your first or first & last name, then continue
  • When prompted, allow Free Conference Call (FCC) permission to use your phone's microphone (important step). That’s it!​
Using the app
  • MUTING:  You can mute and unmute yourself by tapping the microphone icon on the bottom left (the icon turns red when you are muted)
  • SPEAKERPHONE:  You can listen using the speakerphone by tapping the speaker icon (the icon turns blue when you are on speakerphone)
  • MIC:  If you are speaking on the conference, it is recommended NOT to use the speakerphone but rather talk directly into your phone or use ear buds that include a microphone (a speakerphone picks up background noises)
  • VOLUME:  Use the phone or tablet's regular volume control to adjust the meeting’s audio level
  • HANG UP:  To leave the conference, tap the right arrow icon on the bottom right
To join your next teleconference/meeting
  • Open the Free Conference Call app on your phone or tablet (maybe named 'FCC')
  • CStampabay will be listed as a previous meeting.  Simply click on the blue Join button next to our logo.
  • Select “Call In Using WiFi or Data”

Teleconference Dial-in Phone Number

In addition to the FCC mobile app described on this page, you always have the option to dial into our service using the original method. This is not being replaced. However the quality is not a good as using the app, and you may have difficulty connecting during peak periods (e.g. busy signal). Your first choice should be to use the app with WiFi.
  • (605) 313-5494
  • Enter access code 595973#
  • To speak at a Wednesday evening testimony meeting, Mute and Un-mute yourself by pressing *6​​

Using FreeConferenceCall Website

Also, in addition to the FCC mobile app and dial-in phone number to access our services, there is a third way to connect.  From your personal computer, open your web browser and go to https://freeconferencecall.com/, then click “Join Meeting” (top right) and enter “cstampabay” as the Meeting ID. Finally enter your Name, click “Join”, and click “Join with computer audio”. To join a meeting using the website, you do not have to create a new FCC account. The website also has Mute, Unmute and Leave buttons.  It uses your computer's speakers and microphone.
