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.

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.

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…
