Simple
set-up.

Everything you need to connect Neat Bar to your TV or monitor is in the box, so it’s easy for anyone to install and set up. Just plug in the cables, and Neat Bar will auto-pair with Neat Pad. What’s more, because Neat Bar and Neat Pad have auto flip, they instantly realign your view, regardless of how you mount or position them.

Just works.

Neat Bar self-activates the moment you walk in the room, immediately turning on your meeting room monitor and checking you into the room. Then with just one tap, you can wirelessly share your screen or start your meeting. It also instinctively frames you perfectly and auto releases the room when you leave.

For wherever you work.

Neat Bar is incredibly versatile and easy to set up. It comes with everything you need, including Neat Pad, our dynamic controller and scheduler, as well as multiple mounting options. Both Neat Bar and Neat Pad can be connected either wired or wirelessly to your network, so there’s no need to run any cables across the room. Better still, because of Neat Bar’s compact design, it’s easily portable. Meaning you can take it wherever you work. From your remote office to any meeting, huddle, focus or open space.

Elegant Video Solutions built for Zoom & Teams

Neat’s advanced video hardware solutions support both Zoom and Microsoft Teams users for more closely connected, productive and safer hybrid work environments. Neat’s complete portfolio of devices will be certified for both Zoom and Microsoft Teams and will run Zoom and MS Rooms for Android, empowering Neat to further help drive innovation across meeting spaces to address today’s hybrid workplace needs.

Phone interviews are the worst: Embracing the Video Interview

Nonverbal communication is the combination of all the things you say when you’re not actually speaking words. Things like your gestures, facial expressions, posture and tone of voice often say more than an entire paragraph of sentences. The nonverbal cues you pick up on in a video conferencing interview versus a phone interview can mean the difference between a job offer and another Friday night spent sending out resumes.I can remember several phone interviews in which the recruiter or hiring manager would ask a question, I would eloquently answer with a complete and succinct thought, there would be a longer-than-comfortable pause and then I’d start rambling. I totally voided the carefully crafted response I had just delivered all because I wasn’t sure if the interviewee was expecting more, taking notes or had been bored into a coma by my response.When interviewing over video, you easily alleviate miscommunications like that. Here are the top reasons nonverbal communication in a video interview trumps phone interviews and some tips for making a great impression over video:

1) Being on the phone gives you a sort of anonymity that can lead to distraction. From checking your email to removing all the gum wrappers from the bottom of your purse, a distracted interview on either side of the table is not beneficial. When you can make eye contact with someone, it’s much easier to capture and keep their attention to show them how qualified you are for the position.

2) Smiling! People don’t want to work with a jerk. So while you may have the best strategy proposition and three years more experience than other applicants, it can be very challenging to convey happiness over the phone without an excessive use of inflection, which in turn makes you sound like a Care Bear. Facial expressions allow you to express interest and understanding of the material being presented in a genuine way that doesn’t come across as overkill.

3) Confidence is key. So maybe you exaggerated a little on the resume that landed you the interview, but you know you’re capable and you can let this interviewer know with your impressive posture. Good posture conveys confidence, so when you’re sitting up straight during that video call, it’s that much easier to show your future employer how poised and proficient you are.

4) You control your environment! No awkward waiting rooms, no fluorescent conference room lighting—with video conferencing, candidates can meet face to face with hiring managers for the first time in a comfort zone. Plus, you can emphasize key traits of your personality that may otherwise go unnoticed. For instance, want to showcase your organizational skills? Set your video call up so your color-coded bookshelf is your backdrop. Did a quick Google search and discovered that you and your possible boss-to-be share a mutual hobby? Prop that guitar up behind you. I’m not saying that you should hang up pennants and stage the background of the call with memorabilia of his or her favourite sports team, but subtle staging can’t hurt!

Video interviews can dramatically enhance the job search from both sides of the table. With a video conferencing expert to learn more about embracing the nonverbal communication. You’ll be more engaging, enlightening and personal than you would be by phone—plus, it gives you another reason to bust out that blazer you got just for interviews. Happy job hunting!

Don’t Email me, Video Me!

Hate email?

If you’re in the corporate world, chances are you have an affliction like I do. Five hundred emails, 24 hours a day, two means — portable devices and your desktop — to receive them. Email has effectively beaten the telephone as a preferred way to communicate. And if you think I’m exaggerating, consider this: Intel recently noted that in exactly one minute’s time, more than 204 million emails are sent. That means more than 12 billion emails land at their destination within an hour!

Email may currently be our number one means of communication, but it is flawed. The world of email has become impersonal and sometimes even hostile. How many of us have received the dreaded “all caps” emails where you can feel the sender screaming through your screen? Often people seem too comfortable saying things in an email that they would likely never say in person or via live video.

And, while email ensures that we are in constant contact with colleagues and clients, for just some of the reasons I’ve just stated, it doesn’t necessarily mean it is better.

We’re a mobile business force — one that enjoys the comforts of a work-anywhere lifestyle, whether from the train, the back porch, you name it. And our consumer technology like virtual meetings, video conferencing and other telecommuting technology allows us to do this. We also rely heavily on social media platforms — ones with video chats, picture exchanges, and 140 characters that tell the whole story. So while just eight percent of the workforce is using these tools currently, this is the future of collaboration.

We see it every day in the way our future workforce — teenagers — keep in touch. It isn’t through email or voicemail, its Snapchat, Instagram and Whatsapp. The younger generation uses video daily in their communications, suggesting that today’s CIO needs to be thinking about opening up the corporate intranet for such video collaboration that is device and technology agnostic. Not only is it the future, it’s good for business and promotes global teamwork.

As video collaboration becomes more mainstream how global companies connect offices will impact mobility in a whole different way.  our government is expected to reduce its travel costs by 50 percent across agencies. Why shouldn’t video conferencing tools encourage enterprises across industries to follow suit? And, while some are currently connecting on devices tethered to their desks, the world is becoming more mobile. Major Telephony companies see the mobile market at 6.4 billion subscribers and 50 percent of those are smart phones. With those numbers only expected to grow, more devices will enter the market with video capability — leaving video as the major contribution to mobile data traffic by 2022.

With most consumers buying mobile devices for their bigger screens and HD video capability how can CIOs replicate quality consumer experiences and ensure employees have what they need to be successful?

They’ve tried. Believe me. But one of the biggest obstacles to integrating an employee’s workflow — and making it more of the consumer experience they desire – is the use of proprietary solutions.

For the last 20 years, we’ve seen different communication channels – everything from telephony and instant messages to the email and voicemail we get today. We’ve made improvements, but we often bind ourselves because of separate platforms that cannot co-exist. Proprietary technology is costly, often not scalable and thus, IT departments cannot make it customized for their needs.

My suggestion? Let’s open it up! Cloud Videoconferencing — offers CIOs and employees an option that appears to be traditional video conferencing without being tethered to a desk or platform.

Phone calls are a thing of the past. And I would wager email is on its heels. We’re on video now. We’re on social media now. It’s a multimedia, multiplatform, multi-device world.

Today is already tomorrow; video and social media use — most prominent already in the consumer industry- – will become as natural as picking up the phone or sending an email thanks to increased use of Cloud Videoconferencing. And that’s good news. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to respond to the 147 emails I’ve received while writing this…

 

 

Determine Your Video Conferencing Requirements with These Questions

logo

Integrating video conferencing into your organization is quickly becoming essential. However, a top quality video conferencing system can be expensive. Therefore, in preparation for deciding on a provider, and choosing a plan for your company, it is well advised that you define your video conferencing requirements well before you begin to draft any contracts with vendors.

The following list should help you narrow down which types of video conferencing systems and equipment you should consider adopting when moving forward with your purchase. Make sure you consult both your management and IT departments in order to cover all bases.

There are three broad areas you should take a look at with regards to your video solutions.

The first is business requirements – the direct business goals that video conferencing should be looking to facilitate.
Next, there are functional requirements; specific details such as number or users and/or overall functionality that feed back into the business goals.
The final requirements to consider are technical. This may include any limitations you have in regards to space, systems, and bandwidth. Take advantage of the deep knowledge your IT team has in these areas before moving forward. Then ask yourself the following:
What is your organization looking to achieve with video conferencing solutions?

This is first and foremost the most important question you must ask before going forward with a video conferencing solution. The wider strategy your team outlines will be a fundamental help in determining the type of video conferencing solution you choose.

What is your budget for video conferencing solutions?

Your budget should be determined by assessing how valuable the solution will be to your operations. In addition, look at where the solution will reduce costs and improve productivity i.e. travel costs, scaling knowledge, connecting remote workers etc.

How many users does your video conferencing system expect to support?

Knowing how many users your organization will have can help you with issues such as bandwidth and pricing plans. However, knowing how much you are likely to grow in the future is just as important.

Where will your users be located?

Will your users be based in the main office or will they be remote? Remember to look to align your bring-your-own-device (BYOD) strategy with the solution to make it simpler for remote workers. Also, look at how many meeting rooms you wish to convert into video conferencing suites and, of course, don’t forget to look at all of your office and subsidiary locations.

Do you have in-house IT support or will you need to outsource?

Most vendors should be able to offer you IT support, though this will be at an extra charge. If you are fortunate enough to have onsite IT staff members, they must familiarize themselves with the solution.

Cloud or on premise video conferencing?

It’s not just applications and storage that are offered from the cloud, it is now possible to dispense with expensive video network infrastructure and have video conferencing and calling delivered as a service. This option is by far the most scalable and affordable. In very few cases, organizations prefer to have on premise infrastructure deployed behind firewalls. Therefore, engage with your IT to understand the pros and cons of both environments.
When you are going to implement a video system, follow these questions and assess your business goals to find a video conferencing solution that best suits your company.

At eVideo, we have a complete range of cloud video conferencing services and a portfolio of hardware for meeting rooms systems and software for desktop and mobile devices.
