Face-to-face on the meeting screen on the "cloud"
Real-time connection to employees in multiple places, sharing files for online presentations, and quick operation of sign-in and speeches... Thanks to the development of Internet technology, the rapid popularization of video conferencing has become a rigid requirement for the daily operations of many institutions and enterprises.
Video conferencing supports people to conduct long-distance real-time information exchange and carry out collaborative work, allowing people in different places to cross the spatial distance and conduct "face-to-face" communication flexibly and diversely, making remote communication more convenient and efficient, and helping to improve office efficiency.
Remote communication saves time
"It takes about 1 hour to get from home to work, and now the commute time is saved." Ms. Wang, who lives in Xicheng District, Beijing, recently worked remotely from home. She described the advantages of video conferencing in this way, "I can participate in a meeting at any time, not at all. It is especially convenient to delay various tasks.”
Xiao Li, who is engaged in the Internet industry, found that video conferencing gives everyone the possibility of coordinating multiple tasks at the same time. "While participating in the video conference, the documents of other work items are revised and sorted, which greatly improves the efficiency."
At the same time, since remote work no longer requires offline gatherings, it is also convenient for her to communicate with colleagues in the branch in Hefei, Anhui.
"I used to think this form of work was a bit strange, but since the unit began to implement the video conference system, everyone's acceptance of remote cooperation has also increased."
The popularity of video conferencing has made office no longer just a scene and mode of "sit in the office and work".
At home, use Tencent Meeting, DingTalk or Zoom APP to participate in a video conference; as long as you have a laptop or a mobile phone, you can revise and edit the shared documents in the video conference... People's working hours are flexible Distribution, work efficiency has also been improved.
Continuous optimization of technical equipment
The demand for video conferencing has driven digital technology to innovate at a faster pace, improving many of these issues.
Taking video conference screen freezes and delays as an example, this problem has caused headaches for many telecommuters who participated in online conferences.
The reason is that, on the one hand, the network speed is slow; on the other hand, the number of users entering the system instantaneously is too large, and the load on the network server increases, which makes the system unable to bring a smooth user experience to all users.
According to data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently, 5G networks have covered all prefecture-level cities, all counties and urban areas, and 87% of townships and towns across the country, with more than 500 million 5G mobile terminal connections.
The large-scale construction of 5G base stations has created a good foundation for the video conferencing system, effectively speeding up the network speed of users, and also contributing to the expansion of its market demand.
According to the analysis of iiMedia Research Institute, technologies such as cloud computing and big data are developing rapidly, which can realize intelligent processing of data, so as to meet the needs of large-scale real-time interaction.
Around the needs of enterprises for video conferencing, relevant Internet platforms have come up with solutions.
For example, Tencent Conference, Feishu, DingTalk, etc. are mainly based on operational advantages to rapidly develop users; Huawei's integrated smart conference room solution integrates functions such as video conferencing, electronic whiteboard, and wireless screen projection.
High frequency usage reduces expenses
On one side of the network are production enterprises, and on the other side of the network are suppliers and distributors. Under the background of epidemic prevention and control, the characteristic "cloud conference" connects the three parties of production, supply and sales.
Recently, Shaanxi Automobile Huainan Special Vehicle Co., Ltd. organized the 2022 Supplier-Dealer Conference to build a communication platform and strengthen the cooperation between suppliers and dealers in various regions.
Online roll call, one-click calling of participants who have not joined the conference, manual sorting of participants, etc., and functions such as full mute, raise hand to speak, lock conference, invite and cancel sharing, etc., make the conference convened in an orderly manner.
Video conferencing reduces business travel and expenses and facilitates efficient telecommuting.
Today, video conferencing usage scenarios are gradually diversified, and industries such as government, finance, education, and medical care are using video conferencing to complete work in different scenarios.
Currently, video conferencing in China is frequently used in scenarios such as remote employee training, remote product demonstrations, and remote project management.
In order to comply with the trend of digital transformation, as an important digital infrastructure, video conferencing has a broad space for development under the dual promotion of technology and market.
With the development of emerging technologies, video conferencing will integrate 5G, cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and other technologies, and video conferencing will enter the era of intelligent collaboration, bringing users a better experience.
4K UHD is the mainstream direction of video conference upgrading.
Not only can it bring more delicate character details, but also greatly improve the experience of image and text sharing and business collaboration.
For example, the Jiangsu Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau and the Nanjing Pukou District Government have upgraded their original video conferencing systems to 4K HD.
After the whole line is upgraded, not only the picture is more delicate, but also the experience of image and text sharing and business collaboration has been improved.
The procuratorate of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region adopts a high-simulation remote video consultation system, which realizes the interconnection between the procuratorates at all levels in the autonomous region, and meets the needs of case consultation, remote interrogation, and business training.
