BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing App Updated to Version 3.0 with BBM Integration

The BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing app is one of those apps that really shows what BlackBerry can do and how it does it best. The app makes mobile conferencing easy and seamless. The app has recently been updated to version 3.0 and now includes features for sharing the app across your social networks. In terms of the app itself, there isn’t much new here, but the sharing features are decent.

The BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing app makes conferencing calling easy and seamless with the following features:

Join Now Button– The BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing app adds a button to calendar reminders on your BlackBerry that can dial you in to a call with one click. If the invite includes multiple dial-in numbers for different locations, the app can choose the most appropriate one for you (within Canada, the US and the UK only).

Reconnect – Reconnect with one click if you’re disconnected or need to drop off a conference call.

Easy Conference Scheduling – You can schedule a conference call complete with conference bridge details directly from the BlackBerry Calendar in an easy two-step process. To enable this capability, you can set your conference call profile once in the BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing app, including dial-in numbers and access codes, and then simply add the profile as part of the calendar invitation. (The moderator code is kept hidden from participants in the calendar invitation.) Many of the leading audio conferencing systems are supported.

Optimal Conference Call Number Selection – If multiple dial-in numbers are provided to accommodate participants in different regions, the application can automatically choose an optimal number to use, such as using the local number if you’re within the local calling area rather than a toll-free number; or a toll-free number if the dial-in number would otherwise be long distance. You can also select or modify a specific dial-in number manually.

Convert an email to a meeting invite – Help put an end to long email threads by scheduling a conference call with email participants with just a few clicks. The sender and recipients of the email are included as meeting attendees, the email subject becomes your meeting subject and part of the email message is copied into your invite automatically. Just add your conference call details from a stored profile, click send and you’re set.

New features available in version 3.0 include ‘tell a friend’ for sharing the app through BBM, Facebook, Twitter, email and instant messaging; and access to help videos from the BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing icon on your BlackBerry.
