Rondee and Privacy on Your Conference Call

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Folks sometimes ask about the risk of an uninvited “guest” listening in on a Rondee.  In practice it would not be possible for a spy to listen-in without you knowing. That is because when you call-in to the conference call first as the organizer, you’ll be told how many people are currently on the conference.  Presumably you’ll be told that you are the first (if, in fact, you are).  Thereafter, as each person joins the Rondee teleconference they are announced by name.  If somebody were to try and use the PIN of a user - without authorization - and dial in without saying their name to the system, you would immediately notice because the system would announce “blank” is joining the conference.
