The internet affords us the ability to work and network remotely. Many insurance plans will even pay for online doctor appointments. Facetime and Skype are great ways to get one on one with your grand kids or coworkers.
But what if you need to have a meeting with a larger group and you can't just wait for this whole pandemic to go away. Microsoft, Google, and Zoom are trying to keep up with demand for their now free work-from-home software. Microsoft is offering anyone its premium version of Teams for free for six months and has lifted existing user limits on its free version. The premium Teams product was already available for no extra cost to those who pay for the Office Suite, and Teams had already been free for many schools. Similarly, Google announced last week that it would offer its enterprise videoconferencing features — for example, larger meetings of up to 250 people and the ability to record — for free to G Suite and G Suite for Education customers through July 1, 2020. Slack has always had a free version. Lately, it has been trying to get the influx of new users up to speed quickly by offering free webinars with live Q&As, consultations by phone, and information on working-from-home best practices. These are all programs that allow video conferencing, webinars. Comments are closed.
