Web Conferencing: Conducting a Teleconference in the Office




Teleconference meetings are the cornerstone for any very important project outside of the office and work, but should offices and employers be using teleconference software and technologies inside the office as well? There are actually many benefits to doing so, and some people would even go so far as to say that more work can easily get done through a teleconference meeting. Web conferences specifically are the type of teleconference meeting that should be used in the office, but we will examine all of the benefits of using web conference technology in the office, as well as outside of the office, too.

There is no doubt, however, that web conferencing technology has changed the way that teleconference meetings are conducted. There are actually many ways to use a web teleconference in the office, but let's first consider the main point of using web conferencing technology in the first place. The point of any teleconference is so that everyone listening in can hear and potentially see everything that is being said and done. While in the office around a small business table there may not be enough room for everyone to see the presentation or the presenter.

However, web teleconference meetings can easily fix that problem. Consider for a moment just how easy a web teleconference could be while in the office. Most businesses and office workplaces are set up so that they can receive internet through a WiFi connection. Since every worker is able to access the internet then they are also capable of receiving video feed from a teleconferencing piece of software. It may not always be necessary for each computer to have a webcam in order to see the audio feed because it simply depends on which web conferencing software is being used.

Using Web Conferences instead of Round-table Discussions

What is being proposed, though, is that web conferences be used in office work places instead of usual business discussions around a center table. Everyone is able to see the presenter and presentation better through the use of a web conferencing software and employees are still able to have quiet chatter with each other through the use of instant messaging technology in the web teleconference software.

There are actually plenty of benefits to using this different type of presentation method. First, already mentioned was the fact that employees would be able to see the presentation clearly and in real-time. But another benefit would be that employees would not even have to leave their cubicle in order to meet with their coworkers. If placed into motion on a regular basis then the web conferencing methods and techniques certainly would become the norm for office workers.

Another benefit, though, of having web conferencing technology in the office and actually using it is the fact that many teleconferences are able to be saved and watched over again after the actual live presentation is over. This is not only very important to go over the presentation again with your employees, but the presenter of the web conference is able to go over the presentation and see if there was anything that was left out in order to improve it the next time.

All in all, web conferencing technology is definitely the wave of the future as it relates to office technology and teleconference meetings. Because so many people and employers are already tapping into this great technology means that even more employees will be able to have their hands on it sooner than they think!
