Today, we&#8217;re going to be talking about Video Conferencing. \u00a0This is part 1 of a 3-part series on Video Conferencing. Part one is going to focus on the purpose, or the need for Video Conferencing. There\u2019s actually a really broad spectrum\u00a0of Video Conferencing solutions, ranging from a quick call on a mobile phone with video, up to a really high-quality immersive video conferencing experience in a dedicated room. So, before the products are even looked at or considered, there are a number of critical questions that need to be asked.\u00a0 Now Dave, what\u2019s the first question that needs to be asked?<\/p>\n<p>Well Jonathan, it\u2019s a fairly basic one.\u00a0 We just want to be asking ourselves, who do we want to be calling? This is really just a brainstorming exercise to get the ball rolling. You want to\u00a0be identifying which people and which organisations need to be talking to each other and identifying the actual key reasons why.\u00a0 You want to be asking questions like \u201cis a video call absolutely necessary? or could I get this done with a telephone call or quick face to face meeting?\u201d\u00a0 And once you\u00a0flesh that out, you\u2019ll have a pretty clear picture of what your initial video conferencing needs may be. So, I suppose an extension on that would really be identifying where these people are located.\u00a0 What I mean by located is, physically located.\u00a0 Are they in the same office? or are they geographically separated in another state or another city?\u00a0 It\u2019s important to understand where you\u2019re calling, as well as, who you\u2019re calling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>So, question three Jonathan is going to be, \u201care there multiple parties at different locations?\u201d\u00a0 Do you need to be speaking to multiple cities or multiple departments or\u00a0multiple rooms on a single video conferencing call?\u00a0 Sometimes, that\u2019s absolutely necessary but you need to be very careful here.\u00a0 You don\u2019t want to let that number get too big.\u00a0 It\u2019s fine to have\u00a0two or three different parties on a video call, the experience can still be quite good.\u00a0 But once you start to get to a number or size beyond that, so four, five, six, seven, it really does become a little bit confusing in our experience. You really want to have a good think about that and try and reduce the number of parties on a call as much as possible. And I suppose an extension from that Dave is really a question of: How many participants in each location?\u00a0 Everyone\u2019s been in some large meetings with lots of people, and sometimes it\u2019s not as effective.\u00a0 So, we need to have a look at how many people are going to be at each location. Absolutely!<\/p>\n<p>The fifth question we need to be asking ourselves is what are the quality expectations?\u00a0 And this really depends on the type of call, the objective of the call, the organization, and the style of the people at the organisation.\u00a0 To give you an example, a very basic call\u00a0of low quality will be making a quick call on your mobile phone while you\u2019re walking down the street.\u00a0 You\u2019re still having a video call, and it\u2019s effective.\u00a0 You\u2019re getting the message across, but it\u2019s completely different to the other end of the spectrum where you might be in a fully immersive purpose-built room where the lighting is fantastic, video is fantastic, the audio is fantastic.\u00a0 For a sales presentation, this could be absolutely crucial because you want to really be putting the best foot forward\u00a0and presenting yourselves in the best light to try and get the deal across the line. Right!\u00a0 So, I suppose, taking that example of the sales call, the purpose\u00a0isn\u2019t necessarily just to have a face to face call\u00a0where can you see the people and hear the people.\u00a0 What about some content?\u00a0 Or showing a presentation?\u00a0 That\u2019s another question that needs to be asked.\u00a0 Do people need to be able to see a PowerPoint or slide show that is being presented during the call? Absolutely!<\/p>\n<p>So now the last question. It\u2019s actually more of a technical question, and you should really get your I.T Department involved in this one.\u00a0 You will\u00a0flesh out whether or not you need to have calls being made within your I.T network, or outside of your I.T network, or both.\u00a0 And depending on the answers here, there\u2019s different kinds of solutions and bridging services available to enable all the parties to be able to speak to each other seamlessly.\u00a0 So again, that question there is a technical one and you must involve your I.T Department.\u00a0Well Jonathan, I think by answering all these questions, it\u2019s possible now to have a clear understanding of what the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.konnectus.com.au\/expertise\/\">video conferencing<\/a> needs are for an organisation.\u00a0 In part two of this series, we\u2019re going to be looking at the specific room types and, which ones are the more applicable for your organization.<\/p>\n<p>For more great tech talks or a free consultation, visit us at konnectus.com.au.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to another edition of Tech Talks with Konnectus.
