Video can be so much more than just a better telephone or conference line
Video conferencing has radically improved the way businesses communicate, putting faces to voices and creating a more personal connection during interpersonal discussions and small team meetings.
Only using video for real-time communications, however, is a waste of your investment.
To get the most value out of video, you need more than what video conferencing systems can do. You need the ability to record meetings, presentations, tutorials, demos, communications, and town halls. You need a secure place to store and manage your recordings. You need a search engine that helps you find any word spoken or shown in your videos. And you need to ensure that any employee can watch those videos on-demand, on any device. You need a video platform.
But that doesn’t mean you need to replace your video conferencing system. Because while conferencing solutions and video platforms each offer their own features and benefits, the technologies really begin to shine (and the use cases begin to multiply) when you leverage the two together.

Web Conferencing vs. Webcasting
Three Things You Need to Know
Employees are 75 percent more likely to watch a video than to read documents, email or web articles, according to Forrester Research.
Video conferencing has become a logical solution to break through the noise in our day-to-day communications, but live video meetings see attendance suffer from timing challenges, technical issues, and maximum attendee caps.
Webcasting via a video platform can be an easy alternative to enable executives and senior managers to securely share live video messages in high definition to up to thousands of viewers around the globe.
But what’s the difference between web conferencing and webcasting? How can someone determine which technology to use? And when could the technologies be used together? Watch the video to find out.
