Business Week recently
published an article titled "Online in Real Time: Russia's Internet
Business." In this article, Web Moscow expert John Sullivan discussed how
online video conferencing can benefit businesses. Online web conferencing
allows companies to conduct meetings from around the world for free, and
without being held in person - a huge time and money saver. This
"cost-free online meeting option" also offers businesses a way to
show presentations or demonstrate their products to customers who are unable to
attend in person. Businesses can use video web conferencing to post sales
promos, provide employees with training or tutorials, and host employee forums
- all without having to pay anyone to show up.
You may be familiar
with webcams already. Essentially, web cameras allow users to film themselves
online at their computers. Viewers can see them via a small lens on their
computer and view the person through the lens at the same time. There are
typically a number of built-in features that allow the user to zoom, pan,
switch between views, and move the camera without stopping the recording. There
are also additional features available such as voice output (video and audio)
and ability to zoom in and out.
Now, imagine what it
could be like if you are able to take your Web camcorder with you every time
you travel. You can take your Web camcorder with you when you go grocery
shopping, visit your dentist, visit the bank, or just about anywhere else. As
you can see, having a Web camcorder with you can be a great business tool. But
did you know that you can also save time while traveling by using your Web
camcorder to record business presentations? If you have a web camcorder, you
can record your presentation (with your PowerPoint, script, or audio recorder)
and then watch it at any time - right from your home computer!
This means that you can
have business meetings online with your business partners - and they can view
your presentation online from anywhere, at any time. You don't have to stop by
your office or hotel's computer lab. You don't even need to be at your home.
So, you can save money on travel expenses and then use that saved money to pay
for your Web camcorder. Not only is this something very practical but it's also
a great idea - especially if you run a business out of your home!
There are a few things
you should remember, however. Real time web camcorder technology does not work
miracles. The quality of the video will change depending upon the Internet
connection you are using. If you are having streaming audio, it may also suffer
if your Internet service is slow. Some camcorders allow you to switch between
different services, but this may require an upgrade to the camcorder.
Overall, Web Menscow
presents many benefits to those who use it for their business meetings. For a
one-time fee, these entrepreneurs discover how easy it is to hold business
meetings online. They are able to broadcast to their employees, partners, and
other potential customers. Because they are held in real time, this is also
perfect if you want to show presentations to your clients or potential clients.
