The Best Virtual Conference Platforms For Membership Website Entrepreneurs

  • September 12, 2021
As an online membership site owner, you probably already know that you need to host virtual conferences and events for your members. This helps add more value to your membership program and enhance the learning experience for members. Ideally, you need a robust video conferencing tool for hosting meetings, for hosting webinars, and for hosting virtual events as a part of your membership subscription program. With so many options available, it can be challenging to choose the right one for your specific needs. In this article, we’ll show you some of the best virtual conference platforms for membership website owners. Best virtual conference platforms for membership website entrepreneurs Here, we’ll go over some of the best virtual conference platforms for membership website entrepreneurs. #1. Zoom Zoom offers a simple yet professional solution for businesses looking to seamlessly connect with their customers or team members from all around the globe. Zoom is a fully professional, dedicated video conference platform. It offers a much smoother experience and high video quality along with other features such as creating online virtual events or creating a chat room for members to interact in. Additionally, it’s a solid option for people looking for a robust video conference platform on a budget. Zoom offers a free-to-use approach to their platform, however, you’re limited to a 40-minute time limit for each meeting. Zoom also offers exceptional customer support and is trusted by most big-name organizations for hosting their annual meetings. In addition to this, it also offers users the option to create fully featured video webinars. You can take a look at our review on Zoom Webinar for more detailed information. We also have a tutorial on how you can use Zoom without downloading the app and enable the call scheduling feature. Zoom entry-level plan starts at $14.99 per month for the Pro plan. However, you can still use Zoom completely free by subscribing to the Free package that has a 40 minutes time limit for each meeting. #2. Skype Skype, developed by Microsoft, is an intuitive and free video conferencing tool that’s widely used by businesses and organizations all around the world. Skype is very simple to use and offers a robust video conference platform. This makes it a great option because most people will already be familiar with Skype and know how to join video conferences. Although it might look simple at first, Skype in terms of functionality provides all the right tools you need to host a successful video conference for your organization. It provides you with full control over Skype calls. This means that you’ll have a much easier time managing a virtual video conference with 50+ people. Other than being easy to use, the best part about Skype is the availability of the app on all devices. Users can use Skype with their phone, desktop, tablet, web browser, Alexa, and even Xbox. This way, you make your video conferences easily accessible for all types of users. Skype is completely free to download and use across all devices. You can purchase Credits to make cellular calls directly from the video conference platform. #3. Airmeet Airmeet is a professional virtual and hybrid video conference platform designed with simplicity in mind. It offers robust tools for hosting virtual meetings, seminars, and virtual conferences of your business. A great feature that Airmeet offers is the ability to add multiple hosts to your virtual conferences. This is great for inviting celebrities or setting up guest appearances in your virtual events. This way, you can tap into other brand’s audiences. For instance, the celebrity that will be joining your virtual conference will have their own fan following that will also be joining your virtual event or conference. This helps boost attendance for your virtual conference and maximizes business growth. Airmeet also offers the option to automatically record the whole video conference once it goes live. This is an effective way to generate content and later use clips and videos on your website or social media accounts to drive more traffic. It also encourages people who missed out on the virtual conference to visit your website and catch up on all the “after-event” videos and clips. Airmeet’s entry-level package is free to use which is best for small-scale businesses looking for a robust video conferencing platform. #4. Google Meet Google Meet is a premium video conference service. Google is known for providing great apps and services to its community all around the world. Similarly, Google Meet is a simple, yet professional video conference solution for businesses. Another thing Google is most famous for is its reliable and fast server speed. This way, you don’t have to worry about dropping your important business calls or disconnecting from the video conference, even with 100+ people in attendance. The best part about Google Meet is that it’s compatible with all types of devices and is very easy to first set up. This ensures that no member will have a problem joining the virtual conference. You just need to send members a link for joining the meeting and they can join the video conference within a few clicks. Google Meet is now free to use. You just need a Google account to log in and create a new meeting. #5. Whova Whova is a robust, simple-to-use video conferencing platform for businesses looking to host virtual conferences. It offers an all-in-one video conferencing platform that lets you host sessions, pre-record videos for meetings, and offer extensive attendee engagement features. A great thing about Whova is that you can manage all your video and virtual conferences from a single place, you don’t have to hop around multiple apps to access various tools. Whova is also fully compatible with mobile devices, tablets, and laptops. This means that you (the host) and members can easily access your virtual conferences from their preferred device, anywhere. Additionally, Whova offers higher-tiered tickets for your “exclusive” members. This means that you can offer exclusive meetings or content for attendees that have higher-tiered tickets.

HighFive HighFive offers a very simple, quality solution for organizations looking for a video conference platform. HighFive is all about ease of use and offering a lightweight solution for your business conferences. Your members don’t need to download any app, they can directly join the video conference from their browser, using the HighFive URL link you provide, without having to enter any pins or passwords.

Conclusion Deciding on the right virtual conference platform for your business can be tricky. You should consider important factors including your budget, your use-case, and your requirements. Ideally, you want to ask yourself these questions before deciding on a virtual conference platform: ● Are you looking to host a virtual conference for more than 100 people or less than 50? ● Do you require additional tools to help you manage your virtual conferences? For example, integration with marketing tools like HubSpot? ● Does your business have special requirements or needs for a virtual conference event? Hopefully, after answering these questions and going through our list of the best virtual conference platforms, you’ll be in a much better place to take the next steps.
