Join Teleconference Using an App on your Phone or Tablet

  • 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:
  • Tap Get Started (it is NOT necessary to Create Account or Log In)
  • Tap the blue JOIN on the top right of the screen
  • Enter cstampabay  as the Meeting ID, then tap Join Meeting
  • Be sure the "Dial into the meeting" slider is to the left (unselected) so it uses the Internet to connect instead of dialing with your phone. You will probably want to be sure your phone has WiFi turned on instead of using your cell phone data.
  • The first time you join, you'll be prompted to enter your first and last name and optionally your email address. Then tap on Let's go.
  • ​When prompted, allow Free Conference Call (FCC) permission to use your phone's microphone (important step that only needs to be done once). 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 on the top (the icon turns white when you are on speakerphone)
  • MIC:  For the microphone, you can use your phone or tablet's built in microphone, or connect a headset or earbuds to your device. Just be sure the headset or earbuds are the type that include a microphone (some are for listening to music only).
  • VIDEO: FreeConferenceCall allows the sharing of your video using the camera built into your device. Just tap the camera icon on the bottom (the icon turns from red to white when your camera is on).  Please only turn on your camera if speaking such as giving a testimony, when reading, or to wave at others at the end of a church service.
  • VOLUME:  Use the phone or tablet's regular volume control to adjust the meeting’s audio level. Your volume controls only affect what you are hearing, not the volume of how others hear you.
  • PARTICIPANTS:  To see a list of all participants, tap the "Participants" button on the bottom.  When done, use the left arrow on the top right to return to the main screen.
  • HANG UP:  To leave the conference, tap the red Leave button on the top 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 recent meeting.  Simply tap on the Join button next to our logo.
  • Be sure the "Dial into the meeting" slider is to the left (unselected) so it uses the Internet to connect instead of dialing with your phone. You will probably want to be sure your phone has WiFi turned on instead of using your cell phone data.
  • Then tap on the blue Join Meeting button. You're now in the meeting.

Teleconference Dial-in Phone Number

In addition to the FCC mobile app or website 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 or website, and you may have difficulty connecting during peak periods (e.g. busy signal). Your first choice should be to use the app with WiFi.

  • Enter access code 595973#
  • To speak at a Wednesday evening testimony meeting, Mute and Un-mute yourself by pressing *6​​
