Modern video conferencing solutions come by the way of adapting mobile based video conferencing
2. As more employees work in
a virtual environment, they
are looking for ways to
communicate and collaborate
over video conferencing
using mobile devices. One of
the biggest trends in business
today, is to make mobile
video conferencing a key
component of any
employee’s technology tool
set, in which they find and
use their own technology and
collaboration platform at
work.
3. Mobile video conferencing solutions let
employees communicate and collaborate from
anywhere, ideally on any device. This ensures
usage, since increasingly, people always have
their mobile devices with them, whether they’re
traveling for business, commuting to and from
the office, or working from home or a remote
site. The key for mobile video conferencing
success is to keep it simple. If users are
comfortable with their devices, and the
applications that run on them, the result is much
greater adoption. To enable this, companies
should provide support for multiple modalities
from the same device.
4. Over time, the video conferencing
industry has had a difficult time gaining
wide spread usage. Even in the most
innovative organizations, there are
underlying issues that hinder the
adoption of video conferencing services.
These problems range from the highly
technical to basic user perception. Once a
videoconference is established, the next
issue is the sharing of data. Solutions
with video capabilities are easier to use
and provide sophisticated sharing and
collaboration tools. However, the added
functionality does not make up for the
lack of video quality and capability.
5. Protection against hackers, viruses and
spyware are a requirement for all
organizations. Implementing the
required, additional layer of security is a
major reason most video conferences
never occur. Desktop videoconferencing
solutions utilize typical Internet
connections. However, if there is a
requirement to connect to a
videoconferencing room or if HD is a
requirement, most desktop solutions fall
short. Furthermore, desktop video
solutions do not adhere to any standards.
6. Video conferencing services let
companies create, host, and join
online meetings completely free.
Nowadays, it's not a problem
which kind of hardware or
operating system the company
uses. Most of the free video
conferencing services are web-based
and easy to use. There is no
need to install anything on hard
disk, and one can use any
computer or mobile device.
7. Video conferencing services integrate
free features such as the ability to
make VoIP phone calls, do screen-sharing,
record sessions, transfer
files, or white boarding. To select
which one of the services is the best
for their needs, there are some basic
criteria. Feature to record conference
session for later review or
publishing, ability to text-chat other
participants and other features like
file transfer, screen-sharing, live
annotation, white boarding, etc.
