Intercall Review Summary – Intercall has the basic features you expect from a web conferencing service, but doesn’t do anything to differentiate itself from the competition.
Pros – Intercall can dial meeting participants, so they don’t have to call in. No plug-ins or software to install for meeting attendees.
Cons – The moderator software doesn’t work on the Mac. The mobile conferencing clients are good for audio, but they don’t offer any visual features (e.g. screensharing).
| Category | Score | Why |
| Overall Rating: |  |
It has all the common features found in web conferencing software, but nothing sets it apart. Intercall’s Mac compatibility, and it’s lack of mobile phone clients make their online meeting software feel obsolete. |
| Usability: |  |
Intercall makes it easy to get around. You don’t have to dig deep to find moderator controls, or perform common meeting tasks. |
| Audio quality and features: | |
The audio sounded good during our testing. |
| Video quality and features: | |
The video looked alright in our tests, but once you’ve done meetings in HD, everything else looks substandard. |
| Collaboration features: | |
Intercall’s collaboration tools work well. You can share your desktop, or a specific application. Attendees can do the same. |
| Presentation features: |  |
Intercall’s organizer software is not compatible on the Mac. The presentation features work on Windows, but nothing stands out. |
| Mobile features: |  |
Intercall has native applications for iPhone, Android, and Blackberry, but the applications don’t have a lot of functionality. They’re good for audio conferencing, but there’s no visual tools for screensharing, video conferencing, and other collaboration features. |
What We Like About Intercall
Dial out to participants – Rather than make everybody dial-in to the conference, you can load participants numbers into the system, and Intercall will dial them for you.
Intuitive user interface – The moderator application is straightforward and easy to use.
What We Don’t Like About Intercall
Mobile clients are limited – Intercall has mobile clients for Android, iOS, and Blackberry, but they’re limited when compared to competing products. For example, you can save meeting details (phone numbers and PIN numbers) but you can’t screenshare.
Moderator software doesn’t work on the Mac – If you’re on a Mac, you’re out of luck. Intercall provides no software for Mac desktops.

Conclusion
If it were 1999, Intercall would be one of the leading web conferencing applications, but lack of support for Mac and limited mobile clients make this web meeting software feel dated.
