The way we run and attend business meetings is changing.<\/p>\n
In an increasingly remote workspace environment, meetings have changed, perhaps irrevocably. Video conferencing now plays a huge role in our day-to-day lives. With an increasing preference for better quality, outcome-focused meetings, whether you\u2019re in a digital or physical meeting space, it\u2019s important to get it right.<\/p>\n
According to a survey conducted by Lifesize, 98% of respondents said video conferencing helped them build relationships inside and outside the workplace. With video conferencing a much more engaging alternative to audioconferencing, it also boasts significant benefits when it comes to the format and showcasing the content of your meeting.<\/p>\n
Whether you\u2019re delivering a presentation, an online lesson or training session, or simply have some documents to show to your team as part of your weekly scrum, being able to share your screen with your fellow meeting participants has become an invaluable aspect of virtual meetings. As your organisation navigates the new way of running and attending meetings, the screen share<\/a> function becomes a crucial element for you and your teams to know about.<\/p>\n Even if you\u2019ve never used a screen share function before, it\u2019s important to choose a solution that allows you to share your screen. With a software that gives you the option to screen share, explaining day-to-day tasks in a more visual, more engaging way for your colleagues becomes much easier.<\/p>\n Remember, not all video conferencing apps<\/a> are created equal. Putting in a little time to research your options before making the investment is a shrewd decision and ensuring your chosen video solution has a screen share function is an even wiser one.<\/p>\n Many platforms will be cloud-based, meaning you and your teams will be able to access them from anywhere. Choosing a robust, feature-rich application, which gives users the option to also use the software via their browser, is a good option in terms of ease and agility for all your team members.<\/p>\n Investing in a platform that offers screen sharing in addition to a host of collaboration functions such as instant messaging, file sharing and storage and audio all in one is a wise choice. These solutions have the ability to significantly streamline your daily processes and allow your employees to benefit not just from better, more visual meetings but also the efficiency of a single-platform unified communications<\/a> hub.<\/p>\n Here are a few key aspects to consider when researching your video conferencing and screen sharing solution:<\/p>\n Ease of use and agility: <\/strong>Not everyone will want to download the software, so choosing a solution that offers a browser-based option will lower the barrier to adoption for your teams and will help them stay agile as they work from anywhere. RingCentral Video, for example, allows anyone to join a meeting using a simple link and share their screen in just a matter of clicks.<\/p>\n Team collaboration: <\/strong>Make sure the software you choose makes it as easy as possible for your team to collaborate. Screen sharing allows colleagues to present their work, explain tasks in detail or train staff at scale. \u00a0Make sure your screen sharing functions allow for annotation<\/a> and include added extras such as live chat box and file-sharing functions.<\/p>\n Integration: <\/strong>Ask if your chosen video conferencing solution will fit in with your existing tech stack. As with any software investment, checking whether it will integrate with the solutions you already use daily should be a key part of your decision process.<\/p>\n\t\tChoosing a solution with screen sharing capabilities<\/h2>\n
