Online meetings are now part of everyone's life!
There was a time when only conducted online meetings/virtual meetings were when participants of the meeting were far apart, i.e., in different countries, etc. This inclination has changed during the year 2020 after the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, people have to conduct a live webinar regularly. Due to the pandemic, people sitting in the next building compelled to attend these daily or weekly webinars even if they want to attend them in person. This is the reason that many webinar hosting companies are in tough competition with each other. The use of these online meeting tools and software has increased almost 50% from the year 2019.
Several webinar hosting companies emerged during the last two years as the demand for this software increased MyOwnConference, ezTalks, Click meetings, and Zoom Meetings are examples of these webinar hosting companies. Zoom has made quite a good place among all due to its unique features and user-friendly environment. People prefer this software to conduct webinar hosting rather than the other virtual meeting hosting.
Importance of online meetings using the zoom
1. No Meeting arrangement costs
Live webinars are advantageous because both parties need not worry about booking a particular meeting room and all the belonging arrangements for the webinar. You need to sit on your machine with hosting software, and here you are, ready to conduct or attend the meeting. Zoom serves best for joining the meetings, and you have to spend almost zero penny to join live webinars. Even an accessible account of zoom can fulfill all the needs of your meetings.
2. Maximize the attendant’s ratio
People don't have to travel for online meetings, so maximum participants find it easy to join the meetings on time. Even people with some genuine illness reason they can join the meeting from their bedroom without disturbing themselves. It is the reason that there are more attendants in online meetings than in-person webinars.
3. Real-time meeting experience
The exclusive features of Zoom meetings provide a sense of real-time experience by providing all-in-one features. You can attend the conference and add participants, but you can create many polls, annotations, whiteboards, content sharing, and many more.
4. Perfect control over live webinar
We hesitate to conduct an online webinar due to a lack of controls in some web hosting software. Still, Zoom provides perfect control over the webinar to restrict or allow any particular participant whenever you want. You can enable chat rooms and voice interrupts only for selected personals rather than all meeting members.
5. Reduced interruption
When we are in a conducted offline meeting, the speaker conveys his views, and many of the participants try to interrupt during his address by asking questions, etc. It makes the speaker uncomfortable, and he might miss many of the essential points that he wants to deliver. The mute option of all the participants in Zoom has solved this problem. The speaker can complete his point of view and then allow participants to raise a hand and one by one unmute them to ask the questions, which saves a lot of time.
Conclusion
The trend of online meetings had a rapid increase in the last two years. People who didn't look familiar with the webinar word now know the essential tools and their use. Although online webinars are now a part of everyone's life, people still miss the in-person presence. No doubt, these are easy to use but are not as secure as the in-person meetings for some delicate manners. The security features of different online webinar companies can obtain by paying them, but it still depends upon one's satisfaction.
