Benefits of Videoconferencing

Videoconferencing has transformed over the years and it has now become a need for numerous companies. With the disruption of the pandemic this multiplied the demand for videoconferencing equipment. Currently, there are a large number of employees who still choose to work from home or take part in hybrid work.

The challenge lies in how modern businesses are going to take advantage of this opportunity and support their employees who are based in different locations.

Throughout this article we will cover the essentials in improving your online meeting experience and provide some tips to implement with your team in the next meeting.

Table of Contents

Overview

Videoconferencing has been around for over 30 plus years and in its infancy videoconferencing systems would cost as much as $250,000 for a room setup. The investment in equipment was rationalised in the same way it is today. Whilst the more obvious benefits of reducing travel, connecting teams and improving collaboration is still pertinent to todays workforce, there are so many more added benefits for a fraction of the price.

This includes providing employees with flexibility, increasing personal productivity and enhancing collaboration. However, there have been only a  few articles outlining how to use this technology and maximise the value of your investment in a videoconferencing system.

How to Improve Your Experience

It’s evident that taking part in a Zoom or Teams meeting can’t be compared to a face-to-face meeting. The environment is completely different with the online environment being more restrictive. However, there are advantages to online meetings that are absent in face to face meetings. According to a recent study teams meeting online are more likely to make definitive decisions and meetings are less likely to sway off in tangents. 

This saves time, money and resources as the agenda is followed closely. A drawback from an online meeting is the lack of daydreaming or disconnect opportunities. This is important for inspiring imagination and creating new ideas. Online meetings require focus on the speakers, whilst in person meetings participants feel connected within the same physical environment and feel free to let their mind wander. 

The good news is that there are lots of alternatives to get your team back to brainstorming. These include sharing content on screen with apps like miro, allowing each participant to share their content in real time to the chat and many other options. Research has indicated that this will significantly increase memory to what was discussed in the meeting as well as, increasing morale as each participants feels valued.

Best Practice for eMeetings

Maintaining continual attention in normal meetings can be a challenge and in video meetings this can be even harder. Luckily there are a few habits you can start doing to improve your recall and your relationships with your work colleagues.

According to recent research, a key difference between participants with a healthy workplace relationships throughout the pandemic and those that didn’t have this experience, was their focus. By focusing on non verbal cues and body language these participants were able to receive messages much more clearly and truly understand their colleagues.

So it’s important to encourage your team to turn on their cameras and focus on your teams body language and non verbal cues. Although, this can be particularly difficult if the video quality is not clear or the connection to the internet is slow. If you do experience bad internet quality, you can avoid this by attaching your Ethernet cable directly into your router. Another integral part of the online experience is the ability to share information.

So it is recommended that companies and individuals who are working from home or partaking in hybrid work invest in great quality equipment.

Is Videoconferencing Important?

Offering hybrid work or work from home options to employees can improve morale and actually enhance productivity. When employees are allowed to work from home they can be more flexible in organising their time and prioritising work. Employee’s that are offered these options also report higher job satisfaction and are less likely to switch job roles. 

With increased flexibility employees gain an increase in focus and they are able to prioritise work tasks more easily. It also provides the opportunity to collaborate with individuals across the world and build key relationships. With reduced travel costs and an increase in time productivity significantly increases which accelerates business growth.

It’s clear that communicating online can be challenge and communicating effectively does not come naturally. It takes a conscious effort from all parties to create a great environment that will foster creativity and improve business performance. 

Setting Up Your Space

A large part of the user experience comes from preparation and setting up your environment. It is important that you set up right by having appropriate lighting through using natural sunlight or a standard desk lamp to start off with before investing in professional lighting equipment. 

Alongside this is investing in a professional quality video camera. The camera on your lap-top or mobile won’t provide you with the clarity that you need. This makes a difference in instant communication. If you can read a colleagues body language more clearly or hear the tone of their voice it transforms how a message is received. So make sure you invest in a professional set up. 

Ensure your desk has enough space to place a notebook you can write on, as the more contact points users engage in the more points of memory the brain has to recall information from. So don’t forget about writting physical bullet points in every meeting.

Summary

That’s a wrap on all the different tools and techniques you can use to improve your experience online from established industry brands and scholarly researchers. Our aim to to improve the videoconferencing experience for companies worldwide and educate users on how to use this technology to gain the most value from your investment.

Top 4 Trends Within the Video Conferencing Industry

Nowadays, every modern company is using video conferencing to stay connected. Whether it’s with international clients, collaborating with suppliers or working with a remote team, the industry has been growing consistently. Advanced Technology has now formed a part of a smarter video conferencing experience. We cover the top 4 innovations that are using technology to provide better experiences for users and build smarter systems.

Lenovo has recently developed an Augmented Reality solution that allows users to experience a virtual room filled with video conferencing gear. The first of its kind, Lenovo is creating unique customer experiences and engaging users with its brand [1]. By hovering over equipment, users can find out more information, explore the space and interact with the features inside the room. 

Customers are bombarded with marketing messages every day, so Augmented Reality allows brands to showcase their offerings, inform and co-create brand experiences in an exciting and interactive way [2]. The immersive experience is available to the general public and there is no signup required before you can try this out for yourself. Tom Hamblyn (Business Development Manager ANZ) of Lenovo discusses the inspiration behind the project below.

With the world working remotely at unprecedented levels there were two challenges that the Smart Collaboration Team at Lenovo experienced, when rolling out meeting room technology. The first was getting customers to visualise our portfolio inside a real meeting room. The second was to have easy access to the most relevant information from the product manuals. This project from our Worldwide marketing team continues to push the boundaries of how best to support Lenovo customers with current challenges, as well as ones that are being brought to light in the modern working world. Watch this space, as we continue to build more information and product ranges into the AR Room Visualiser."

Key Features

With online video calls being frequently used and employees splitting their time between working from home and the office, video conferencing hardware has never been more in demand. One of the suppliers that have harnessed this demand is Jabra. They have released camera systems that provide high resolution, as well as high pixel quality, regardless of the number of people in each frame.  

This will mean that video calls will emulate having a meeting in real life, as every eye movement, alongside, any slight gesture is captured in real time. With every individual displayed in HD resolution, users can communicate more transparently, as no one is blurry in the frame. At a time when social connection is imperative and people are spending more time online, Jabra has truly leveraged the importance of human interaction by building this unique feature inside its cameras. To find out more about this, UTC covers the whole story.

AI Transcription and Noise Cancelling Technology

As immersive and easy video calls are, we all struggle to remember exactly what was said by whom, it happens to the best of us. Cloud-based video platforms such as Google Meet and Zoom have added transcription features to their video meetings so you never miss a word again. Virtual software companies, such as Otter.ai, allow users to capture the minutes of their meetings in real-time so they never have to remember what was discussed. Once a meeting concludes, users can simply download a PDF file and look over the content for every online meeting. 

Alongside this, is the noise cancelling technology now available with Google hardware products. After Zoom took the initiative, Google shortly followed. It allows users to have video calls without background interactions affecting your audio quality. Everyone has been the victim of a barking dog or a noisy background conversation, which makes it impossible to hear on the other end. This feature cuts the background noise out of every video call and shifts the focus back on the presenter. Therefore, enhancing communication and making the video conferencing experience more enjoyable.

IQ for Sales by Zoom

IQ for sales, allows sales teams to become more effective by capturing valuable data recorded from real customer interactions. It provides an opportunity to improve your sales process with an overview of key data generated after every call. Managers can analyse data such as, how many questions their team asked on sales calls, how fluid an interaction was and how many interactions progressed through their sales funnel. This feature uses the latest Artificial Intelligence technology to capture detailed information and inform teams for better decision making in the future.

This solves the issues of tracking your team’s performance, development of relationships with key clients and so much more. It’s an excellent addition to any professional sales team looking to enhance their performance. With so many attributes, it’s only a matter of time until sales teams everywhere will leverage this technology. Zoom continually manages to stay in the forefront of video conferencing technology and it will be interesting to see what they come up with next.
