Whether your business has remote workers, offices in multiple cities, or teams of professionals who travel often, video conferencing is key to keeping everyone on the same page.
Video conferencing is an online meeting between two or more participants communicating in real time over an internet connection. It blends audio and video to create a virtual face-to-face conversation where you can see others’ expressions while hearing what they’re saying—whether they’re using a laptop, mobile device, or conference room meeting webcam.
With the power to bring people together, simplify collaboration, improve efficiency, and help you save money, provides advantages for businesses of any size.
If you haven’t already adopted video conferencing, you’re probably thinking about it. As you weigh your options and decide whether it’s right for you, let’s take a look at 10 advantages of video conferencing:
Because video conferencing makes it easy to collaborate on documents in real-time, you won’t have to contend with long email chains, lost messages, in-document comments, and version control issues—all of which can cause confusion, misunderstandings, and delays.
By having the power to hop on a call and collaborate in real-time, you can ensure everyone has a voice, all feedback gets incorporated, and questions are answered immediately. And you can quickly gather as a team to make sure that everyone understands the project before leaving the meeting. Plus, because video conferences eliminate the need to travel, your team can devote more time to more important work or life matters, even on days when they have meetings. It’s how the modern workforce would rather work—with more flexibility, mobility, and time back in their busy day.
The advantages of video conferencing are clear—and many. To benefit most from all the ways video conferencing improves communication and empowers collaboration across your business, explore Microsoft Teams.
