As workplace trends for hybrid teams continue to evolve, T1V is collecting data from workers across multiple industries and organization sizes to investigate exactly how employers and employees are navigating meetings, hybrid technology, and more.
In the latest update to T1V’s Work From Anywhere White Paper, we take a look at video conferencing and what role it plays in both in-person and remote meetings.
First, we asked: what percentage of your meetings include video conferencing?
Nearly 60% of people reported that they use video conferencing in 75% of their daily meetings. That means over half of employees use video conferencing platforms for most of their meetings.
As we know, using video conferencing for meetings is on the rise in 2020, as evident from the widely reported statistic that the number of daily Zoom users jumped from 10 million in December 2019 to 300 million in March of 2020.
If we know people have video conferencing applications running in the majority of virtual meetings - the next question is, what video conferencing platforms are people using for meetings?
Nearly all respondents indicated they use at least two different types of video conferencing platforms throughout their work day.
Zoom remains the most popular video conferencing application, with 85% of study participants reporting that they use Zoom for meetings. The second most widely used video conferencing app is MS Teams, with almost 55% of people noting its use. The biggest takeaway here is that nearly all respondents indicate they use at least two video conferencing platforms, having not completely standardized on a single platform.
Though some companies do standardize on a video conferencing solution throughout their organization, many don’t - whether different departments use alternate video conferencing solutions, or people switch between different platforms for clients or third party vendors.
It is important to have the ability to seamlessly switch between video conferencing platforms like BlueJeans, Webex, MS Teams, and Zoom with your collaboration technology. If collaboration tools have third party video conferencing baked into their platforms, even better.
