What is the difference between video conferencing equipment
and video conferencing tools? When we talk about equipment, we are referring to
the hardware and software that is used to make this happen. But when we talk
about tools, these are things that you can add to enrich the video conferencing
experience.
How do you enrich this experience? By using software
programs that can do more than just let you see and hear the other person.
A good example is when you are talking to someone and then
another person comes along. You don’t want to end one conversation just to
begin with another so the best thing for you to do is to chat with the other
party by sending text messages.
Another tool is the ability of the program to have an
interactive whiteboard so both sides can see the same document and make changes
instantaneously. This is useful when you are finalizing the paperwork of any
project that will be submitted.
Sometimes, you want to express to people how you feel and
instead of seeing this in your face, you can do this by using emotional icons
or emoticons.
It will also be cool to have a video conferencing tool that
allows you to surf the web. This will be useful when you need to put in
additional information or have suddenly found new ones that should also be
mentioned.
Majority of the video conferencing tools can be found online
and downloaded into your computer. Some offer a 30 day trial and charge around
$20 to $30 monthly.
