In today’s world of rising gas prices and congested road ways virtual meetings are becoming more and more popular. Virtual meetings are becoming popular because of their cost saving features and their wide spreading potential . In this article we will talk about some easy ways to hold a virtual meeting.
This premium service allows you to hold everyday meeting with up to 15 people and web conferences with as much as 1,000 people. This service is definitely worth the investment if you plan on holding many virtual meetings.
If you only plan on hold a handful of online meetings you can use several different products and services to help you pull it off.
The other way
We will describe the process now:
Make sure everyone has a webcam, microphone, internet connection, and all their materials for the meetings.
Have everyone download and install Skype and Dropbox on to their computers
Skype is a free service that lets you talk over the internet to other Skype users for free. This way you save money on phone charges. You can even instant message and share files.
Dropbox is a file sharing program that lets each party see the documents and other items that the other has posted. It is a very easy way to transfer files and essential for real time meetings.
Put it all together!
Call the member through Skype and have a video call with them to be sure to include the other members.
Once you are talking you can begin sharing files and folders through Dropbox. By sharing with Dropbox the other party can easily look at the file while they are talking to you through the video feature of Skype. I like to use this just because I have had better experience with it.
Virtual meetings do require some careful thought and preparation but once you get though your first one, virtual meetings will become an incredible time saver.
What is your opinion of holding virtual meetings? Time saver or time waster?
Until next time here is to your success!
Sincerely,
Tanata
