Post-COVID, more businesses are moving towards virtual conferencing as teams are working remotely. These virtual conferences replace the need for physical travel and allow people to come together as one. While the internet provides a lot of opportunities to communicate with teams, there can be technical glitches such as connectivity issues or not being able to hear each other properly.
If you want to organize a virtual conference, here are 4 ways that can help you:
Livecasts
Livecasts enable participants and viewers to see and hear everything through live video and audio communications. Content is presented in real-time and includes images, slideshows, voice-overs, graphics, polls, and much more features. Since both parties will require a high-speed internet connection, it is important that they have their own devices or computers. In cases where participants do not have access to a computer, they may opt for the Livecasts mobile app.
Virtual events
Virtual events allow participants to share or present content in one click and also provide them with separate chat space and shareable content libraries. Participants will connect via their own devices and since there is no limit on bandwidth use, it would be helpful to have a high-speed connection at hand.
Webinars
Webinars work like traditional conferences where speakers present on various topics. Some examples are company updates, milestones achieved, and new initiatives/products launched by businesses. This virtual method is great when companies need to make announcements quickly without having to travel while maintaining transparency between employees and stakeholders.
Since there is no live collaboration during webinars, we recommend that you have a screen share feature available to promote engagement levels.
Virtual Seminars
As the name suggests, virtual seminars are interactive sessions with experts from your business who will present and take questions from participants. A projector is used to show slides or videos while an application such as FB Live is used for video conferencing with experts in real-time.
To make sure that no one misses out on any session during these virtual seminars, recordings of live sessions can be made available online after they have been conducted.
Benefits of Virtual Conference:
Following are the benefits of virtual conferences for companies:
- Increased productivity levels by letting people work together even if they are located in different regions.
