Why do large companies choose video conferencing to streamline negotiations, corporate training and costs, rather than popular video chats? Read in our article about the benefits of video conferencing.
Almost every company has a question about optimizing the business process using modern technologies. Video conferencing is no exception; it allows you to optimize the time and money costs of the enterprise and quickly resolve issues with partners.
WHAT IS VIDEO CONFERENCING (VIDEO CONFERENCING)?
What is videoconferencing is, in general, clear from the name, but it is necessary to realize that video conferencing is more than just cameras, computer and software are equipment and technologies that, in combination, allow remote communication to be transferred to a high, qualitative level, often achieving a presence effect.
The professional video conferencing system includes the following elements:
High-quality video camera with high resolution.
During a conversation using a popular video chat, you often see a low-quality picture with unregulated illumination. Professional video camera with adjustable sensitivity and color reproduction, reproduces high-quality, detailed image of your interlocutor. As a result, you are not distracted from communication and perceive the interlocutor as if he is at arm's length.
Conference systems (microphones)
Conference systems have high sensitivity to ensure high-quality speech during negotiations, as opposed to a microphone on a telephone or computer. More details about microphones.
Acoustic systems
Sound equipment is installed only after the engineering acoustic calculations of the room. In conference rooms and meeting rooms use various types of equipment: ceiling acoustics, wall mounted, frontal. When using the latter type of acoustics, there will be an additional effect of the presence of a remote participant.
Acoustic data room.
This item is directly related to the above; Without decent room acoustics, the sound effect of presence cannot be achieved. Mainly edited and formed using interior materials during the repair.
Video equipment
This refers to video mapping systems of interlocutors (screens, monitors, panels). The transfer of visual content is most important during video conferencing, the quality of equipment plays the most important role here.
WHY DO I NEED VKS, IF YOU HAVE SKYPE?
The main differences are quality, reliability and capabilities.
The quality and level of video conferencing are directly related, as you have probably understood, from the installed equipment. A popular smartphone or even the latest version of the laptop with the best performance will not be able to broadcast video of a similar quality that is inherent in professional equipment, even if not a popular brand. When communicating via Skype, you simply see the interlocutor on your screen, the video conferencing system provides the effect of presence.
Reliability.
The actual problem for many organizations is the confidentiality of information. Unlike Skype, the videoconferencing system is protected from data “leakage” and listening, since all connections go through the client’s server, and the equipment is serviced by the company’s staff.
One of the main differences of video conferencing is the possibility of stable and safe operation, on weak communication channels, and vice versa, in local networks, where data transfer is very high.
Skype only works when connected to its servers via the Internet; that is, every time a connection fails, you will not be able to use the video connection all the time, until you troubleshoot. Imagine if this happens during very important negotiations with your partners or clients.

Opportunities
- demonstration of presentations, videos, photos, drawings, tables and any other multimedia materials during the conversation.
- during communication, an electronic board is available on which you can draw, enter and edit data.
- provides for the duplication of your desktop on the overall screen and desktop management of your interlocutor.
- video of negotiations and all data, if necessary.
- unlimited number of participants.
- the organization of the schedule of video conferences and invitations. By scheduling a conference, mark the date and time, and your interlocutors will receive individual emails.
- Integration with IP-telephony - the ability to call landline numbers, from the application for video conferencing, during the conference. Thereby providing a full audio participation of the interlocutor.
Of course, if you need a point-to-point video conferencing (two-way video conferencing), use extremely rarely and are not afraid of the “leakage” of information, then the most affordable and best option for you would be Skype or similar products.
But if the company is large, actively developing or planning to conduct training between the branches, you will need multi point videoconferencing. For the implementation of "multi point" you will need conference equipment that supports "multi point" (there is conference equipment with built-in up to 8 points) or a special video server. In more detail about the types of video conferencing, we will tell in the next article.
