Meetings!!!
Greetings My Fellow Humans who have the need of doing Online Meetings.
You cannot deny that having regular meetings is part and parcel of all kinds of businesses. Most of these meetings take a good portion of the day and there are a lot of these meetings that are just useless. But nonetheless it is required to take part in the meetings. There are different ways in which meetings are conducted.
In the office, there are rooms setup for meetings. A group of people join the meeting who are part of a certain project. Various aspects of the project are discussed. People take notes. Most of the people in the meetings keep their mouth shut. Only a couple of people talk most of the time. And, the remaining people try to act as if they give a damn about everything that is happening in the meeting.
There is teleconferencing involved in many meetings. People who are not available in the office join through a bridge on the phones. They go about doing their work after dialing into the bridge and keeping the phone on mute. It happens.
Nowadays, we have a complicated work space with several people working from the comfort of their home. Since there is no one watching their every move like it may happen in offices, there is a sense of relief for a lot of the people. The work does get done and there is less stress among the employees.
But there is still the need to have meetings. So with our advanced tools and technology, we have evolved the video conferencing software to such an extent that it has become very easy to do online meetings.
Some of the most popular and best Video Conferencing Software that are available in the market are
- Zoom
- GoToMeeting
- Zoho Meeting
- Microsoft Teams
- Skype
- Cisco WebEx
- Slack
- Google Hangouts Meet
- BlueJeans Meetings
- Join.me
Zoom became quite popular after the pandemic started. Millions of people started using its service because of its easy interface and also because of the name which is very easy to remember and suggest.
There are many schools also which are using it for taking online classes. There have also been many students who found ways to annoy or amuse everyone in the online class. That is bound to happen when kids are involved.
It has become clear that it is possible to have a good percentage of the work force do their work from home regularly. The companies which can get effective work done without having to deal with employees coming to the office will totally cause a shift in the way day to day tasks are handled.
It can also be helpful to the environment because fewer people are going to travel every day to and from work which means there will be fewer vehicles on the road. There will be less pollution as a result and it will be good for the environment. Climate change activists should get on this and make sure that more and more people should be given the option of working from home if they do not offer anything by showing up to the office.
