intentionally left your laptop at home, so you begin to panic at the thought of a lost opportunity. Then you remember that all your demos and presentations are saved in your OneDrive for Business account. You relax and walk over with your potential investor to the nearest Internet café and conduct an impromptu presen- tation. The pitch works, and you now have a new partner!
You Want to Web Conference Like the Boss
Web conferencing is not new to the enterprise — the technology has proven to be a real timesaver and cost reducer. Most of us probably have seen movies of high-powered board meetings with good-looking CEOs and senior management hooked up by live video conferencing to their operations folks in multiple locations across the globe. As a small-business owner or a professional, you’ve probably secretly coveted the sophistication of the people and the meeting by virtue of the technology they used.
Well, covet no more. Microsoft Teams brings you web conferencing tools so you don’t need to invest in expensive equipment or hire an IT staff to conduct effective, high quality, high-definition web conferencing. The service is built in, it works, and it’s great.
With Teams, you can start out with a chat with a co-worker, add voice to the session, invite more people to the conversation, convert the session into a web conference, share screens, whiteboard, and for good measure, record the web conference. The web conferencing solution allows for high-definition video capa- bility using off-the-shelf webcams with a resolution display that adjusts to the waxing and waning of your Internet connection.
So put on a suit and a tie (or sweats), turn your webcam on, and start web confer- encing like the boss from the comforts of your cubicle or your home office.
