## What is Phonesty?

Phonesty Video Conferencing is easy, secure and affordable. It's by far the simplest way to join a Phonesty Conference. Phonesty conference rooms can host meetings with a very high number of participants and can be individually configured for many specific use cases (church services, teaching, webinars etc.). Participants can either be automatically muted with our unique "Plenum Mode" and can then raise their hand if they want to speak. Or the conference room can be configured so that everyone can mute/unmute themselves. The video switches to the speaking member automatically or can be fixed to one speaker at a time. Conferences can be recorded, locked and much more. Participants can also dial-in by telephone. Or our system can automatically call your participants by phone starting at 1 Cent per minute.
