Redefining How People Use Video Conferencing

Popular video chat services usually offer free one-to-one video calls. However, they will ask you to upgrade to a paid service if you want to get more features such as document collaboration or multi-party conferencing.

Today, you can now enjoy free unlimited air time on group video calling for up to 10 persons by using an app called Spin.

When you open Spin, you will see one large tile on the home screen which represents your profile. This tile can be customized by adding your photo. You can import people from your contact list or add some friends manually and Spin will create tiles for each of them. Tiles ‘float’ on the home screen and you can arrange them in any way you want.

You can start a video chat, called Gathering, by dragging contact tiles inside your own tile. You can only do this if you have an account with Spin but those invited to the Gathering don’t need to create an account. They will just receive an invitation link to your Gathering.

During a chat session, the tiles go live with video and audio. You can then moderate the video conference to organize the discussion. Tools such as document collaboration and video and photo sharing are located at the bottom of the screen. Just load content from these tools and the screen will be shared among the participants.

Best Features of Spin Video Calls

Spin Video Calls offers cutting edge video and voice calling service for free. It allows you to invite a maximum of nine participants to the video conference.

The app offers advanced document collaboration tools. It allows you to share a document from Dropbox, Box, and ShareFile to the participants. It also allows you to share the screen so that everyone in the group can watch or view videos and photos from YouTube, Facebook, or from your device’s library.

The app allows everyone to make a comment or annotate shared documents. It also supports mark-up using Chalk Talk. You can then save comments, annotations, and mark-ups on a notepad for later review.

And lastly, Spin allows you to easily add more contacts by connecting with Facebook. Just import your friends list to the app to create tiles for them.
