Video Conferencing

Video communication and conferencing have always guaranteed an array of tangible, powerful and immediate business benefits by allowing face-to-face dealings and communications with anyone, anytime and anywhere instantly. Video conferencing allows many benefits to their users like fast, measurable and cost saving communication. It has rapidly turned into a very important efficiency and cost saving center for the businesses and for their remote employees. Regular contact is necessary for any business to keep companionship and the team spirit. But since, people stay at different places, and it is not possible for them to communicate face to face regularly. In that case, video communication works very well. It provides you the facility to discuss any issue by making the feel of communicating face to face. Video conferencing helps in reducing costs. The real cost of the physical meeting, both in the terms of cost and time, is quickly becoming unsustainable. Video conferencing does not requi

Audio Capture

When searching for a solution to capture, record, broadcast, or archive a physical or video conference, using the right hardware is of utmost importance. While there are many companies that offer their services for the recording of lectures, seminars, and conferences, doing this yourself can be challenging without the proper hardware and software. Of course, high-end solutions like Sonic Foundry MediaSite have been in the business for a long time and definitely will do the job if you are prepared to pay the price, yet recording a lecture shouldn't have to involve paying astronomical setup and maintenance fees on top of all the expensive equipment that you are purchasing. Conference hardware consists of three major components: capture hardware, network infrastructure, and repository. The capture hardware consists of a frame grabber used for converting a VGA or DVI feed from the presenter's laptop or computer to a digital format that can be recorded or broadcast to the web. Furth

Conference Calls

Today, making conference calls is a breeze. All you need to do is to sign up with a conference call service, and notify the other participants. The service is usually free for small calls - lasting only a few hours, and accommodating less than 30 people. Even when hosting larger conferences, the sum of the phone bill and the conference call provider's charge is invariably lower than the costs of travel, accommodation and the lost productivity. The recession has seen individuals and companies trying to cut costs in every way possible. One of the significant developments as a consequence is the adoption of teleconferencing. There are many, many significant advantages of teleconferencing over travel, especially by air: Time saved . Travel, no matter how fast, takes time. Preparing, packing, going through airport checks... all these require a certain amount of time that will be wasted no matter how short the flight is. In comparison, conference calls can be made from any place with an

Your Teleseminar

Establishing good rapport with the attendees of your teleseminar is extremely important if you are hoping they will buy any products or services from you. Trust is one of the easiest things to ruin so here are a few tips on making sure you build, instead of destroy their trust. Once you decide on the time frame of your teleseminar, stick to it. You cannot afford to have people who are thinking of buying your products waiting for 90 minutes when they were only supposed to be on the call for 30 minutes. If you start losing callers you will certainly lose sales. Make sure that you turn off any phone line add-ons that may not help your call, like call waiting. If someone calls the line you are using while you are on a teleseminar, then everyone on the teleseminar may hear the beeping and be distracted. They may also automatically be bumped from the call cue due to exceeding demand on the lines. Stop worrying about making a ton of money from your teleseminars. When a host is worried about p

Face of Business

In a time gone by, business meetings were conducted face-to-face. Training classes were both taught and attended in person, and telephone conversations happened between only two people. This is not so today! Over the last few decades, technology has dramatically changed the way that business is conducted. Today, seminars have become Webinars, and face to face meeting are increasingly being replaced with a phenomenon known as the video conference. Everyone from the mightiest corporations to the tiniest small businesses (not to mention families, churches, and other groups) has been able to use this technology to accomplish some once unheard of feats. Meetings from boardrooms across the globe can now seamlessly blend into one room, without a single flight being made. For businesses, the advantages of the video conference are huge. They do not only need to be used for international meetings, but are commonly used for regional meetings and training sessions as well. By simply using a camera
