Simplified business communications for your success

Meeting the constantly evolving demands of business—and your workforce—can be a challenging task. With people increasingly choosing remote or hybrid working, you need efficient virtual meeting software that promotes communication and encourages collaborative working.

With RingCentral's online meeting solution, you have a platform that helps you meet those challenges. From simple audio conferencing to multi-participant video conferences and everything in between, you can do it all!

RingCentral is cloud-based and offers a unified communications system specially designed for businesses. We also provide enterprise-level VoIP services without the need for installing secondary and expensive hardware such as PBX boxes or servers. This gives our clients access to voice-based, text-based, and fax communications as well as HD video meetings and online conferences. With us, you can achieve the flexibility, scalability, and functionality that modern businesses need.

What is an online meeting?

As the name suggests, an online meeting is one that takes place via the internet. It can also be called a remote meeting, a virtual meeting, or a web conference. It uses digital technology to connect people from different locations.

With the growth of remote working and the need for organizations to operate internationally and globally, online meetings represent an easy and efficient way to communicate across those often vast distances. But are they all the same?

Benefits of RingCentral's online meeting software

It saves time and money.

This is perhaps one of the most obvious advantages of investing in an online meeting service like RingEX. Imagine this: an organization wants to host a major sales conference for small businesses and wants all employees to attend. This sounds great, but this also translates to added costs and lost work hours. Hosting this event through an online conference room saves on both counts.

But this can even be true on a smaller scale, too. If participants go to an in-person meeting, they not only lose time while attending but also commuting and traveling. By opting for a virtual meeting instead, people can be working one minute, participate in a meeting the next, and then go straight back to work, minimizing any effects on productivity.

It allows more people to join.

One common problem, particularly for larger businesses, is the logistics of holding a face-to-face meeting or conference. It requires a physical space large enough to accommodate attendees. Plus, renting an external area can be expensive.

Using a web conferencing solution like RingCentral allows you to host a meeting with global audiences. You can schedule customer webinars, training sessions, sales presentations, product showcases, live streams, and whatever kind of online gathering you require.

It is secure.

Security of data and information is always a main concern for businesses, and for good reason. The last thing you want is that data being accessed and leaked to the world, thus damaging your reputation.

You have no such worries with RingCentral. We put security at the center of our systems. We use robust encryption to protect your web meetings, and you can configure the security features to meet your needs.

It is easily accessible on any device.

Gone are the days when we all had the same basic type of phone. Virtual meetings have to recognize diversity and ensure that participants can access meetings no matter their device, whether through a mobile device or on a Linux desktop.

With unified platforms such as RingCentral, your team can use any device to join online meetings. You can work from home using a laptop, in the office with a desktop, or on the road with a phone—it does not matter because you can always access RingCentral anytime, anywhere.

It allows for better communication and collaboration.

  • Host HD video meetings for audiences of all sizes
  • Share documents, files, applications, and other assets in local or cloud storage such as Box and Dropbox™
