It wasn\u2019t until 2020\u2014and the pandemic\u2014that the world truly realized how essential it was to everyday collaboration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, we\u2019ve also discovered the true value of face-to-face interactions. As offices closed down and adopted wide-scale work from home, businesses quickly found that messages and phone calls alone just weren\u2019t enough. It boils down to our instinctive preference for human interactions\u2014and it\u2019s a cornerstone of building relationships between peers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"rc-bottom-cta rc-bottom-cta__landscape\" style=\"background-color:#FF8800;flex-direction: row-reverse;\">\n<div class=\"bottom-cta-img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"930\" height=\"700\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Soundandvideo2.jpg\" class=\"responsive-image\" alt=\"Video meetings ...\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"bottom-cta-copy\">\n<div class=\"rc-bottom-cta__text\" style=\"color:ffffff;\">\n<h3\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"rc-bottom-cta__title headline-copy\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>Video meetings in-app and in-browser.

It became the de facto communication tool of choice for the work-from-home era. In fact, at its peak, RingCentral Video usage increased 400% from 2019 levels. And it\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2020\/12\/22\/tech\/video-conferencing-2021-coronavirus-vaccine\/index.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">most likely here to stay<\/span><\/a><b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being said, video meetings will have a huge role to play in the future of work. As businesses move toward new modes of working\u2014the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/worklab\/work-trend-index\/hybrid-work\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hybrid approach<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> being the most popular\u2014teams will work separately from each other more than ever before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees might spend half of the week in the office and the other at home. Some might never go into the office again. A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/business.linkedin.com\/talent-solutions\/blog\/trends-and-research\/2020\/global-data-shows-surge-in-remote-work\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by LinkedIn found that companies are now significantly more interested in hiring permanent remote workers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Browser-based video meetings<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This poses a new challenge for businesses: <\/span><b>ensuring that remote employees can work as effectively as they would in the office<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Since video was so instrumental during COVID, we can assume that video meetings will be at the center of the new workplace. After all, they simulate the face-to-face interactions workers would otherwise get in the office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But not all video meetings are created equal. For one, some video meetings might take excessive steps just so participants can join. The extra time and effort only add to the gamut of apps employees have to work with every day, which inevitably leads to them avoiding using video.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Browser-based video meetings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, however, bring video meetings down to their most basic steps. Here\u2019s how:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>1. Join meetings instantly<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-47422\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/RingCentral-Video-on-browser-673935259.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1314\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With busy schedules and multiple projects at hand, you\u2019ll want every meeting to be as productive as possible. But that\u2019s easier said than done. If participants are required to download an app\u2014or other steps like register an account\u2014they\u2019ll either be late to the meeting or prefer another meeting solution. If a meeting kicks off to a slow start, you\u2019ll spend the entire session playing catch up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Browser-based video meetings, however, take away that extra step. Invited participants can simply click on the link (usually provided in an email) to open the meeting in their default browser. All they have to do is enter their name, configure their microphone and video, and they\u2019re good to go.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No downloads required, check.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2. The same features as the desktop app<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as meeting rooms often involve physical presentations, video meetings require the same\u2014though in the form of virtual interactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Browser-based video meetings, especially those powered by Google Chrome\u2019s web app, have all of the features available to desktop and mobile users. This means users have the freedom to join via any device or mode while still keeping essential functions such as screen sharing, virtual backgrounds, overlays, and more.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b>3. Use any device or browser<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Participants might be in a situation where downloading and installing an app would take too long. Maybe they\u2019re using a new device and they\u2019re running late, or maybe they don\u2019t have their app\u2019s login credentials handy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Launching a browser-based video meeting is really as simple as opening Chrome or Safari. Through the browser, users have access to HD video and audio without needing a separate app.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b>4. The highest level of security<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s two things to consider when it comes to app-based video meetings. The first is that, while downloading your provider\u2019s software might be harmless, there are other vulnerable endpoints such as the PC\u2019s security and the provider\u2019s. Second, your clients and partners won\u2019t know how secure the download is\u2014souring their experience from the get-go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Browser-based video meetings rely heavily on the security of browser providers, which means that they\u2019re backed by Google, Apple, and Microsoft.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b>Bonus: A good impression on your clients<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding a brand new tool or app to your kit already signifies headaches. Now imagine forcing clients and partners to do the same. This happens when they get meeting invitations from solutions they\u2019ve never used before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allowing stakeholders to join hassle-free can turn the entire meeting experience around. No need to learn a completely new UI or featureset. Just click a link and they can join the conversation\u2014with access to every feature you do.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Highlights: Video meetings are here to stay as hybrid and remote work remains beyond the pandemic.
