Power Hour 3 | Video Conferencing for Business (Zoom Training)

Top Tip: Try to stick with what people know. If you clients have been using a solution for years then why change if you don’t need the extra features.

• Standard video call to see someone as you talk

• Screen sharing

• Remote Desktop Control

• Polling / Q&A

• Video Recording for playback

• Live Streaming

Which type of online meetings would you like to hold?

• 121 video meetings between you and a client or partner

• One to many training and workshops

• Group Meetings where everyone is involved

• Webinar selected panellists and audience

Quick Summary

Skype – Quick and simple for those already connected on Skype – you would have to manually add each contact for a group session though.

Teams – Integrated into office 365 but better suited to a set team who will communicate on a regular basis

Google Meet – Replaces Google Hangouts and fully integrated into g-suite for basic but effective video conferencing. Has most features for up to 10 participants

Zoom – Designed for business with pro features like 2 way remote control, waiting rooms, register pages and more.

My Personal Preference – A mix of Google and Zoom to suit the meeting style. Google meet is integrated into gsuite so I can automatically send a link with easy access for any non-techy clients. However Zoom has everything I could ask for so I tend to use it to make sure that I have full access

Zoom allows you to share a link with anyone for a single event and is better suited for promoting a training session or workshop. Skype and Teams are more for weekly catchup’s and regular communication
