BYOD Video Conferencing – But Without the Wires

BYOD Video Conferencing – But Without the Wires

BYOD conferencing enables the user to host video calls on whatever platform they choose from their laptop. To achieve this they need to access the room audio and video hardware to enable groups to conference with remote participants. Room systems, such as Microsoft Teams Room (MTR) systems allow users access without the need to connect a host computer. However, room solutions tend to be tied in to a single platform such as Teams. Smaller room systems will generally either have a videobar design with integrated camera and microphones onboard. They tend to use an Android operating system. Larger systems include a dedicated Windows room computer such as an Intel NUC. Most of these room solutions do have the option making calls on other conferencing platforms, but only by connecting a wired host computer.

What many users want is the platform agnostic and familiarity of a BYOD solution, without the wires. This is exactly what the new ScreenBeam Conference offers. ScreenBeam Conference is free software solution to users of the ScreenBeam 1100 Plus. It adds wireless connectivity to room cameras, microphones and speakers. Support for native wireless display protocols means users can wirelessly present from any device without having to install and maintain an application, or use a dongle or cable. On Windows devices Screenbeam uses Miracast to connect, on Apple Devices it uses AirPlay. There is also support on Chromebook or from Chrome browsers using GoogleCast. Support for iOS means you can even use an iPad or a mobile phone to host your conference calls.

Benefits of Wireless Content Sharing

ScreenBeam brings a whole host of other benefits, aside from getting rid of that cable from the host computer to the conferencing hardware. Wirelessly sharing content into meetings is a breeze with Multi-View enabling up to four users to share content. With the Quick Switch mode enabling you to effortlessly switch the presenter from one user to another. 

The benefits of the ScreenBeam 1100 Plus go far beyond the wireless conference feature. For internal meetings and training sessions users can wirelessly share and mark-up content on the room display. They can do so without first downloading an app, or finding the right dongle or cable. ScreenBeam connects simultaneously to both internal and guest networks simultaneously without compromising security. The ScreenBeam 1100 Plus also supports digital signage. Therefore idle displays in conference and other meeting rooms can be employed to transmit employee and guest communications. It does this with integrated HTML-based digital signage capability.

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.
