Ringr is a really good service you can use to record guests over the internet using Chrome or Firefox browsers, and it records each participant locally and then uploads that local audio, which avoids the common problem of glitchy internet nasty sounds. I consider Ringr to be top 3 along with Squadcast and Zencastr. (Listen to my quick comparison of the audio quality of all 3 on this episode of my Podcast Engineering Show)
Ringr is a very stable service which also offers a mobile app to connect guests via iOS or Android!
Also, see my previous post titled My Frustration with Ringr.
But all in all, it’s a very solid and reliable service, and I still pay for it every month in case I need to use it for client sessions when other comparable services which I mentioned above aren’t behaving properly.

The automatic double ender apps make life easy. The issue to look out for is ensuring each person has an adequate computer with enough memory, minimal number of apps running in background, the latest version of Chrome and a decent mic.
Then it comes down to ease of use. In this regard, I find Squadcast the best. Very soon, version 2 will be released with some very cool features.
I tried RINGR twice and it failed on me both times. I’ve not had that problem with Squadcast.
