Frequently asked questions
An online meeting is between two or more participants and provides audio, as well as optional video, input and output. Video provides the added benefit of being able to see the expressions and reactions of other people in addition to being able to hear what they’re saying.
Online meetings enable real-time collaboration, increase productivity, save time, and help people who are working remote feel less isolated and more engaged. If participants in a group web meeting, don’t feel like being on camera, they can always opt to turn it off and just leave their microphone on. Some online meeting platforms even allows people to blur or change their background to add privacy without losing the ability to connect face to face.
Hybrid work, remote work, and working from home have increased dramatically so being able to communicate and collaborate in real time with an online meeting fosters productivity, participation, and morale.
There are many benefits to using an online meetings software application (online meetings app) developed specifically for real-time online collaboration such as audio and video conferencing in addition to other capabilities including file sharing and calendaring. That’s because the software is designed specifically to create a better overall experience for people who want to chat, call, and collaborate online—anywhere and anytime. What’s more, online meetings software that’s integrated seamlessly with an entire suite of productivity apps—versus a stand-alone app—provides additional timesaving, workflow, and ease-of-use benefits.
Participating in an online meeting is easy. You just need a device with an online meetings app such as Microsoft Teams. When you’re invited to an online meeting, join using your PC, tablet, or mobile device at the predetermined time. Learn more from a guide to hybrid and remote meetings.
