While meetings are needed to conduct brainstorming sessions, employers also need to prevent the spread of germs and viruses within the office. Here, it becomes important to maintain distancing within meeting rooms and make sure that employees use their personal devices to maintain basic hygiene and  avoid contamination. As BYOD policies become increasingly relevant in such a scenario, your meeting rooms need to accommodate this by adopting tools that support BYOD and enable collaboration and efficiency.

During the lockdown, and even for some time after the lockdown comes to an end, people will continue to work remotely. It is important for businesses to take note of this, and ensure that employees on-site and remote still have a sense of community.  Including remote workers in office discussions and meetings to maintain a sense of camaraderie, team spirit, and efficient collaboration will be crucial. And a great way to achieve all these is through video conferencing.

The Indian video conferencing market is expanding fast, with firms quickly adopting a range of solutions to ensure business continuity during the lockdown, and the sustained call for social distancing. 

However, businesses are also realising other benefits of videoconferencing, with reduction in travel and other overheads, time saving, and improved collaboration as some of the key ones.

It is common knowledge that face-to-face conversations are the best when conducting discussions and meetings. But in situations where it is not a viable option, video conferencing offers the best alternative. It is a great way of ensuring that even the remote workers are a part of the team and the conversation. In addition, video conferencing only requires access to a webcam and fast internet connection. But with multiple tools available for video conferencing, your business should choose the one that best fits your needs and facilitates multiple device and platform compatibility, while guaranteeing ease of use.
