With video conferencing becoming a necessity for most corporate, SMB, education and other organizations, how do the various Video Conferencing solutions really differentiate themselves from one another?
They all make the promise of being simple and intuitive; allowing you to save money and time by avoiding hundreds of miles of travel. They offer popular features like content sharing, recording, and even whiteboarding. But despite the promises, the reality was, for many remote participants, these solutions just weren’t maximizing on the video conferencing experience. Many participants found that by being remote, it was easier for them to become distracted and lose focus. Some users were so busy, they often found themselves multi-tasking and weren’t even focused on the meeting. And for others, doing a remote video call was just plain boring.
So how can you eliminate that feeling? What if you were able to provide your remote users a feeling of being on-premises, of actually being there in that conference room or classroom with everyone else,so that they could see everything and everyone, and truly feel like part of the meeting?
How do you create that feeling for remote users, all hundreds of miles away?
We do this with Spontania’s ability to capture 4 simultaneous camera views. Far-end participants now see everything that's going on, giving them the feeling of actually being there in the classroom or conference room.
Here's a training scenario for using 4 cameras:
One camera is pointed toward the front of the room, to see the instructor's every move.
A 2nd camera is pointed at the attendees, so if a question is asked, the remote participant can see who's asking it instead of just hearing it.
A 3rd camera can be pointed at a whiteboard for instructors who prefer to make quick notes by hand, an ASL interpreter, or any other angle that adds to the overall experience. The participant now can see what's written in real time and take notes accordingly.
The 4th camera can be a document camera. So, if the instructor needs to show an object to the class, the far-end participants won’t struggle with just having a minimal view. The instructor simply positions the object under the doc cam and the remote participants see it up-close; as if they were there in the room.
This is just one use-case example ; you can use 4 cameras to provide a multi-view product demo or even set them up for a full 360 degree views.
The possibilities are endless.
Whether you're a business, a university, a law firm, or just have a huge conference room, the 4-camera support included with the Spontania Video Collaboration platform is an instant professional experience for your participants, clients, students, colleagues, and end-users.
Video conferencing software and hardware is an investment, so why not take advantage and get the best value with that investment?
Your far-end participants will thank you.
