Video conferencing basics: 4 tips you need to know.
- 28 Jan, 2019
1. A video conference makes Your office optional
According to a market report published in May by Global Market Insights, the video conferencing market will surpass 14 billion USD in 2019 and is expected to grow at over 19% CAGR between 2020 and 2026.
To fit the need for instant connectivity and information sharing in and out of the office and save expenses, CIOs need to adjust IT investments with physical space.
Vendors like Polycom and yealink are teaming up to provide video conference solutions and file sharing using multiple ports and display screens at office meeting tables.
KKR, a private equity firm, has been using HD video conferencing for four years among its 14 global offices. “We prefer to do a video call because it adds another layer of interaction,” says CIO Ed Brandman. “You have everyone’s undivided attention.
2.One window shows all your applications
Companies are using unified communications (UC) platforms like Microsoft Lync and Avaya Flare as videoconferencing catchalls.
These platforms consolidate all the windows workers have on their computer screens at any time, including video conferences.
They also integrate social media, so employees can video chat with anyone from their social networks.
The trade-off experts say is that users must abandon preferred chat platforms and adapt to using UC for everything.
3. Free options offer limited quality
Free solutions like Skype and Google are not always suitable for the enterprise—you don’t want to be fussing with the connection at an important board meeting.
Many chat clients have video options, so for one-on-one conversations, free video chat may work fine.
But a Forrester report by analyst TJ Keitt says 72 percent of workers still don’t want desktop video conferencing, adding that companies need a clear idea of what they will use video for: “Businesses distribute it with no sense of how it should be used.”
4. Live feeds are the next frontier.
Live streaming can be a helpful tool for sharing events with people who can't attend or who want to watch them later.
Applications such as Video Center from LifeSize or free downloads like Ustream let users upload a video conference so they can watch it anywhere.
The United Kingdom's National Health Service is planning to use a live-feed video application to broadcast surgeries to new doctors.
