In fact, people around the world watched a combined <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.googleblog.com\/2017\/02\/you-know-whats-cool-billion-hours.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1 billion hours of video every day<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> on YouTube, not to mention the combined <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2016\/01\/27\/facebook-grows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">100 million hours spent on Facebook<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> videos every day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Today, it\u2019s never been easier to create and consume video content. From Skype calls with grandparents to watching Netflix on your phone on the subway, video has become a part of our everyday lives\u2014and that includes at work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Organizations are coming up with some creative uses for video in the workplace that go beyond traditional video meetings. Let\u2019s explore how some businesses use video to drive better communication and collaboration.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>1. Manufactured social time: Build stronger connections with remote colleagues.<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the biggest challenges for a distributed workforce is building high-quality connections with coworkers. When everyone\u2019s remote, there aren\u2019t any chance encounters in the breakroom or stopping at coworkers\u2019 desks to strike up conversations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Human connections are critical to developing trust and teamwork, so Ollie, a tech entrepreneur with remote employees, decided to use video meetings to manufacture social time for his teams. The idea (called Team Thursdays) was for Ollie and his employees to simply hang out together, chat about life, and get to know each other, but through a virtual meeting room instead of a physical meeting room.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Result:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt is clear that a bond has also developed between my team members since we initiated Team Thursday. That closeness was not evident a year ago,\u201d said Ollie.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>2. Always-on virtual meeting rooms: Help remote workers feel connected to the office.<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teams that are remote (permanently or for long periods of time) can feel left out of their organization\u2019s culture and community. To keep their remote employees feeling connected, Connor, an industry solutions architect at a SaaS company, implemented an \u201calways-on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/small-business\/blog\/virtual-meetings\/\">virtual meeting<\/a> room.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The goal of the always-on virtual meeting room is to simulate an office space without being physically in the office. Employees can jump in and out of the meeting room whenever they want and talk about any topic, business or personal. Instead of setting up a meeting or call for every question, employees could simply hop in and ask away.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Result:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Connor\u2019s employees got faster responses to questions, participated in more discussions, and felt more productive overall.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>3. Ad-hoc meetings: Keep remote teams on the same page.<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Team messaging can only go so far before chats get convoluted or confusing, especially when colleagues are remotely working on a project together. So Kara, who started a design studio with fully remote employees, turned to video to keep everyone in the loop.<\/span><b style=\"font-size: 16px\"><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For Kara, the most valuable type of video meetings were ad hocs, or meetings with a specific purpose. Employees used ad hoc video meetings to catch up on projects together in just minutes. Additionally, those bursts of in-the-moment conversations are similar to drive-by conversations in the office and help build stronger relationships between colleagues.<\/span><b style=\"font-size: 16px\"><\/b><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Result:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On ad-hoc meetings: \u201cIt gives us all a chance to connect on a more personal level,\u201d said Kara.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>4. A massive, always-on TV: Bridge offices in different locations together.<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When offices are thousands of miles away from each other, it can often feel like each office is operating independently as its own business. Benjy, then a senior engineer of a New York\u2013based tech firm, was put in charge of managing his company\u2019s new team based in San Francisco. His goal was to bridge their offices together and create a cohesive identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The solution was placing a camera in the middle of each office\u2019s workspace and streaming the video feed to a giant TV in the other office. When certain events or celebrations happened in one office, the employees in the other could watch the TV and join in on the fun.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Result:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Benjy\u2019s TVs helped foster interpersonal connections between the two offices and ensured that every employee felt included.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>5. Coffee breaks with random partners: Create virtual break rooms and foster chance encounters.<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Remote employees tend to fall into the habit of working solo, especially when they\u2019re not familiar with their colleagues. The problem is that isolated work hinders communication, collaboration, and productivity. That\u2019s why Sid, founder of an infrastructure tech firm startup, decided to create randomized coffee breaks.<\/span><b style=\"font-size: 16px\"><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sid pairs random members of his staff together and schedules coffee breaks into their calendars. The goal is to simulate coffee room chance encounters that often happen in physical offices and are essential to developing bonds between colleagues. The two employees are then free to talk about anything they want\u2014work, life, weekend plans, etc.<\/span><b style=\"font-size: 16px\"><\/b><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Result:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sid\u2019s employees felt much more connected to their colleagues despite not sharing an office space together.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Wherever your teams are, video brings them together.<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These creative applications for video in the workplace have one objective in common: to build stronger relationships between employees. Sure, video meetings are essential for getting teams together for a project\u2014but its value extends far beyond just delivering projects across the finish line. Video meetings can build real, human connections\u2014and that\u2019s more important today than ever before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Effective and innovative video meetings start with having the right technology. With <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/rcapp.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">RingCentral<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, your video meetings exist in the same platform as your team messaging and calling tools. When you want to start a meeting, it\u2019s as easy as clicking a button. Additionally, meetings with partners and clients can be done over a browser\u2014no need to download apps or set up login credentials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Today\u2019s workforce relies on video to effectively communicate and collaborate. If your teams are equipped with video meetings that are both easy to use and quick to deploy, your organization is on its way to unprecedented collaboration in an increasingly remote workforce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Learn how <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/video\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">RingCentral Video<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> allows your teams to collaborate better wherever they are.
