Video Conferencing

Choosing the right service for you and your business.

Video conferencing and remote work are here to stay and in recent months, it couldn’t be any clearer.  They're an important bridge between the old way of doing business and the new way, where you can stay connected with your team even when you're not in the office. But what does this mean for you as a business owner or employee?

For years Video conferencing has been used to teach people of all ages beyond the classroom. It is now a widely used way of learning outside of universities, especially by working professionals in business who cannot schedule travel time outside their current jobs.

Is your Current provider sufficient for your business? Is it serving you and your team as you would like?

Here are our TOP 5 Video Conferencing points to consider:

How Many Participants?

How many people will there be in attendance typically?  Will it be just a handful of staff at any one time, a host of visitors or a mix of small and large teams? Knowing how many people are required for conferencing can have an impact on which software to go with. Ranging from free to paid, there’s a whole market out there for your particular needs.

Screen sharing:

Holding a video conference without screen sharing is likely to be a challenge!  There’s often the need to share documents, images or the like for visual interaction. Not all conferencing allows this, so it’s best to have an idea of what your requirements are.

 User Ability :

User interface. It goes without saying that everyone needs to be clear on how to work the system. There’s nothing worse than fiddling around with the tech for 15 minutes at the start of a meeting! So, it’s important that users are able to work the functions, like screen sharing, breakout rooms, admitting guests etc

 Video feeds:

You should be aware if a service you choose limits streams as some video conferencing services do restrict this, even though many of them are technically able to host multiple. Unfortunately, this is not always an available feature. If it doesn’t meet your streaming needs, then it wont serve your business as you would like it to, so don’t forget to check this!

Recording & Storage :

If you need recordings and replays for the meetings that people may miss, you will need to check that the service you’re looking at has this function and also check the storage space it allows too.
