So I'm going to give Proficonf a spin. So Proficonf is a way of
doing conferences. Videoconferencing. And it's super easy to use. Just let's have a look.
So, obviously you do the sign up thing and you can you can have a look at the
pricing as well on the Proficon page. Let me just go to the home page there.
And you will see that it's really, really simple. It's got a very simple interface on the home page,
which I really like. So, you go to ProfiCconf. You do the sign up thing, of course, and then
you sign in. And you can try it for free. I think it'd be let's just jump straight to the pricing
first of all because it's got a very, very attractive pricing. Free, if you don't want
to do any recording of your conferences. And if you do the recording then it's just limited to
how much space you can record on a video. but uh you know twelve dollars a month that's not going
to break break the bank i've got an affiliate link if you want to check that out in my description
and 25 is for premium so it really depends on the number of participants you've got
i i don't know many conferences many people who are doing conferences with you know big numbers of
participants like 100 or 250 but um what what they allow you to do as well is to upgrade your storage
uh just in increments so you know i like their pricing plan
and let's have a look at some of the features and then we'll actually give it a spin
so this has been uh nicely set out okay is your best video conferencing experience
you can enjoy your privacy okay it's on the security protocols there whatever they
that's all about um and you don't need to download anything i really like that and the other thing
is i don't think you need to learn much you can get started really really fast with profitconf
so let's actually do that right now so i'll sign in now look how simple this is you can simply
start an event just now that's called an instant event so there's no scheduling there's no setting
it up or like just really easy you're done create event and invite participants via email right now
and remember your your participants okay we need to give permission to my camera
hey there uh your participants don't need to download anything all you need to do is you
can either send them that link just copy that click on that and then you can email it to them
send it via a direct message or you can click invite and then type in their email address so
how easy is that really really simple beautiful interface very pleasant experience
you can you can turn off your microphone and your camera um and of course you can leave
the meeting so really simple there's a chat facility as you'd expect that's on the left
i wasn't expecting that okay that's all right and uh and then you can share your screen and
the sharing options are good too because you can actually share a youtube video also mirror if
you've used that mirror is very nice for design and for designing i mean you use it for post-it
notes whiteboarding that kind of thing uh with it's it's kind of like putting post-it notes on on
a board and of course you've got your traditional screen sharing that you would expect of
sharing a window or a tab or your whole screen okay and you can actually share a file as well
which is which is good so it saves you emailing it now how do we close this it's not obvious
to me i'm going to click on here that's on chat but i how do i cancel out of this
i can't see how to cancel out all right um i'm going gonna go um maybe that's how to cancel out
yeah it is okay all right uh so that anyway that that's that's fine we you can actually hit the
record button if you've got that facility on your version of the app on your plan and um
can invite participants so all of this is really the ease of using it is really really good display
mode so that allows you uh especially well if you've got a group you can have you know
the grid the whole brady bunch thing or just the most the active speaker whoever's speaking
at the moment they come on camera they come in the center and so you can play around with that
which is which is nice um as i said before you can mute yourself very easily mic off and or you can
hide your face and it will show you you can see that my voice is still coming through and it will
show your profile photo if you have one which i don't um so i'm going to enable my camera again
back on book turned it off and then on so as you can see the learning curve is basically
zero which is great let's have a look at the settings see what we've got available here
and that's to allow you to adjust oh this is nice adjust the quality of um and who's
allowed to share so this is really really easy really easy now what's a private meeting
so um okay and allow send knock-in request so that means um you're allowed to send a message
to people to say okay they can knock to come in i'm not quite sure about that one um manually pin
or unpin a participant's preview so this is really just a highlight and are we going to allow people
to chat or they're just going to be watching all right i could dig into more of these but as you
can see it's a super simple program i'm going to remind you that i do have an affiliate link there
so that will help me without costing you any more if you do eventually sign up but there is a free
plan i'm going to end this meeting actually i won't i'm going to um uh just point you to
prof the conference called p r o f i pro v conf conf dot com and check out the affiliate link
and then yeah give it a spin and let me know in the comments uh if if you have been able to
to use this yourself just to give it a test for a test meeting and see what the experience is
and i'm just going to leave that meeting confirm leaving
oh well let me give you one other thing which is the scheduling of events okay because this is
something that we we like to do uh is put in an event okay my test event and uh you can specify
the time in your own time zone um you can actually change it to someone else's time zone if you want
uh participants roll are they only viewing or are they going to speak oh i like that
okay and um a private event means it's bypassed by only by invitation so that if someone else
gets the link there um yeah they're not allowed to come i'm not seeing any helps here but there
is a youtube channel a link to that as well you can also start recording if you are on the plan
that allows recording and uh and even have it as a link for a landing page enable post redirection
oh sorry that's to redirect people to a landing page at the end of the event
so once again you can see how easy this is a permanent event um will be available 24 by 7
by a link that you can choose okay so that means that you can just keep that link there permanently
so people can always come back to this event and then sharing files is easy to do i haven't dug
into all of the other parts of the of profitconf i just wanted to do an introductory video at this
stage but as you can see it is super super easy to use and i should add that their support um as
soon as i connected like that they were right on to it they were ready to ready to help
any any way they wanted so that was really really good to know as well once again check my affiliate
link in the description to this video and and if you do decide to sign up for profitconf it's a
nice alternative to some of the other more clunky uh video conferencing tools that are out there
