Will Zoom video conferencing replace the traditional boardroom meeting?
The recent outbreak of the coronavirus has tested our ability to adapt. Businesses are still learning how to operate within this ever-changing landscape and without the support of video conferencing software such as Zoom, many businesses may have been forced to shut their doors and wait for the storm to pass.
Zoom has become essential for the survival of businesses
Zoom reported that more than 200 million meeting participants use the platform every single day, this includes a portfolio of 81,900 firms with more than 10 employees. It goes without saying that this online tool has become essential for the survival of businesses during this challenging time.
Unfortunately, it looks like we are in for the long haul with the coronavirus pandemic. There is just one question that seems to be at the back of everyone’s mind. Will video conferencing completely replace the traditional boardroom meeting once the pandemic is over?
Where does Zoom fit into my businesses daily operations?
For the time being, boardrooms are no more. Video has completely replaced all meetings and other work-related gatherings that would usually take place within an office environment. Whether this is an internal team meeting or a proposal to a new client, all can be dealt with within the chosen video conferencing software. Even large scale meetings can be held, with Zoom allowing for up to 100 participants at any one time.
The range of functionality offered created a professional atmosphere, even when working from your home office. Although the lockdown has created huge challenges for businesses, tools such as Zoom have empowered us to continue collaborating as a team, getting the job done time after time. First-time installations of Zoom’s mobile app have skyrocketed 728% since March 2, 2020. Access to video conferencing applications is now as essential as access to the internet.
Forming the perfect sales pitch has its complications at the best of times, especially when delivery is done through video conference calls. On Zoom, throughout the meeting, the speaker’s face will be the only face displayed on the attendee’s screen, allowing you to create a powerful yet personal sales pitch to your potential clients.
