UberConference is a teleconferencing service with a web view that increases the productivity of conference calls. With UberConference, you can see who is on a call and who is speaking, share documents through Box and Evernote, automatically dial out to participants, record calls and see the profiles of others on the call through integrated Google+, LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook. UberConference is also available for iPhone and Android devices.

UberConference's packaged app provides an updated user interface and makes it easy to start, schedule, and be notified about upcoming conferences - independent of the browser. Packaged apps benefit users by delivering the performance of standalone applications; instantaneous responsiveness, ability to be always-on in the background, and the simplicity of launching from the Start menu with the ease and convenience of the Chrome Web Store.

UberConference is immediately available in the Chrome Web Store.
