Meeting by Videoconference

Ideally, it's best when groups meet in person however sometimes, it's not ideal to meet in person therefore the choice is made to meet by videoconference. Videoconferencing allows two or more locations to communicate by video and audio transmission.

Videoconferencing offers participants the option of being present in a meeting without having to travel to get there. This saves the company money as the employee doesn't need to pay to travel or stay overnight in a hotel which can be costly.


Videoconferencing provides the opportunity to share information such as computer files and makes interaction easier as you can see who you are talking to and interacting with.

Employers need to provide designated meeting rooms with specialized equipment to be able to offer this option to its employees. Basic equipment consists of a camera, computer and a monitor and proper IT support to offer the service.


The following video demonstrates the equipment available for videoconferencing and how it can reach those who might not be able to meet with you in person.
