And <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/4-statistics-that-show-the-true-impact-of-video-conferencing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">87 percent of remote workers say they feel more connected to their teams when using video to connect<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most popular solutions is Cisco Webex.

And while they do have a free version that might stand out to small businesses, it does have its limitations. For example, if your regular meetings are an hour long, this might not be the platform for you; Webex&#8217;s no-cost conferencing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webex.com\/pricing\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">caps at 50 minutes<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/video-conferencing-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">video conferencing<\/a> game isn\u2019t one-size-fits-all, so it\u2019s okay if Webex isn\u2019t right for your needs (or budget) right now.
