Not so long ago, office work meant being physically in the office. At the other end of the spectrum, executives traveled non-stop all over the globe for important meetings. Paradoxically, video conferencing via smart devices has radically altered both of those realities. The upshot is that the office worker has the choice to be mobile or stationary, and either option saves businesses time and money.
Smart phones' remarkable video conferencing capabilities have taken a quantum leap forward and the impact is considerable across many professions. Doctors can talk to patients or other health care professionals in remote locations and relay confidential and crucial information. Politicians can join multiple conversations regarding developing situations in other countries. The introduction of the mobile workplace means that employees can travel if they need to without missing critical meetings at the main office.
It also means that businesses and organizations can be much more responsive when the unexpected happens. Big decisions can be made with more immediacy and inclusion through telecommunication without having to rely on costly equipment or travel.
For personal use, people who travel can visit with their friends and family at home, not only hearing their voices but seeing their faces. It makes a world of difference to connect visually when the distance is significant. The nuances of facial expression and body language are intrinsic in the contact and that makes a huge difference for far away relationships.
Video conferencing is also becoming more reliable and protected. The VSee Conferencing app, for example, works with 3G, 4G or Wi-Fi networks and it has low bandwidth requirements for minimal data use. End-to-end encryption ensures a private connection, so that professionals can maintain privacy for their patients or customers. This protection is added piece of mind for consumers. The app also offers screen sharing, IM, and API for integrating with Telehealth or other software. The app can be used worldwide, incorporating up to four-way group conferencing with clear video and audio, enabling businesses to communicate much more cheaply and effectively.
The app allows anyone with a smart device to access the video conferencing feature – so it has just as much relevance for personal use as it does for business. It's the next best thing to having that conversation in person.
