Video Conferencing for Businesses Video conferencing sets are today an essential tool for running a business. With the spread of videoconferencing as a form of communication, users’ technical and quality expectations have also increased.
From small team meetings, and quick status updates to board meetings, votes, and work on strategic topics. Today, how we present ourselves to our interlocutors affects the assessment of our professionalism.
Although in many cases a built-in laptop camera and microphone may suffice, more advanced solutions are needed for meetings in larger groups, votes, or board meetings.
The quality of sound and image as well as the ability to transfer files and interact with participants depend on it. In addition to the appropriate signal, it is also worth taking care of security, encryption and access management.
Another issue is a room suitable for videoconferencing. This room should be properly lit, soundproofed and provide a good background for conversation.
Both speakers and microphones should transmit the interlocutors' voices well without generating additional noise. Depending on your preferences, you can use an all-in-one device or choose individual microphones and a sound system for the entire room.
A single camera located at the top of the table should cover the entire room and provide good quality images. More advanced models allow voice tracking and zooming in on the person speaking.
We can choose one large screen or smaller devices for each meeting participant. Some companies offer touch boards that allow you to draw and make changes to the presented content in real time. For meetings requiring voting, buttons designed for this purpose will also be a good addition.
After 2020, the market has been flooded with modern video conferencing solutions. Apps, platforms, and interactive monitors have appeared.
With the return to offices and an increased percentage of remote workers, companies are opting for convenient and secure video conferencing solutions that allow effective collaboration within teams and with clients.
If you have any doubts or want to rely on proven solutions, at Grandmetric we provide support and expert knowledge. We will examine your needs and select appropriate devices.
But how to choose hardware and software that meets expectations and is not excessively expensive? First, it is worth considering the basic issues.
Connection quality
Ensure the chosen room has a stable internet connection that can handle audio and video transmission.
Room size
Provide a comfortable space for all participants and ensure they can sit in a way that is covered by the camera’s view.
Number of people
Plan the maximum number of people and consider whether individual equipment is needed for them.
Number of microphones
Does each speaker need a microphone, or is it possible to use one that collects sound from the entire room?
Presentation needs
Think about how the content will be presented. The method should be comfortable for the presenter and at the same time not obstruct the view of the interlocutors.
Interactive devices
Consider the nature of the meetings and whether additional solutions like voting buttons or interactive screens are needed.
Aplikacje
Ensure the software you use is compatible with the planned hardware. Whether you use Teams, Zoom, or Google Hangouts will appropriately broaden or narrow the choice of available solutions.
Ease of use
One of the most important issues. Ensure simplicity or designate people who can handle the technical side of the meeting.
Security
both software and hardware should meet the highest standards in the field of security and comply with the company’s policy.
We strive to ensure that the devices we propose come from trusted sources and are of high quality, therefore we cooperate with many suppliers. This allows us to choose the best for our clients.
