Video calls are now part of every day life in business. They have become an important communication tool.
Video call setup is important but many people have poor lighting, sound and positioning.
Our new video shows you how to improve these a areas.
Remote and hybrid working is now the norm for a lot of people.
But a recent survey has found that, despite it being more than two years since many of us were forced to work from home, too many businesses still don’t have the right cyber security measures in place for those away from the office.
The survey was originally intended to learn about spending plans from now into next year. However, the results highlighted just how few businesses have the right cyber security protections.
And it’s a worry.
Early on in the first lockdowns in 2020, did you ever sit at your computer and think “I really like working from home”?
Or were you the opposite; desperate to get back into a building and meet with other people like in the old days?
Whichever was the case – and whether you feel the same now – we’ve ended up with a mix of the two: Hybrid working.
Some people are in the office. Some are at home. The days of having everyone together at the same time are gone. Maybe forever.
Which means that video calls are here to stay.
If you want to invest in your video call setup, here are three easy upgrades for you.
We have all seen a LOT of change over the past couple of years.
We’ve changed the way we work. The way we shop. And the way we interact with others.
How has your business changed?
What change do you need to make in the years ahead?
And how does your technology help to power that?
Many business we discuss Microsoft Teams with agree it’s an incredible tool for communication and collaboration.
There are many clever tricks you can do with Teams. Here are three you might not have seen before.
If you have people working remotely in your business, you’re probably used to emails flying around at all hours of the day or night.
Working from home has been life-changing for some. Your people are able to be more flexible with their time during the day, fitting in time for school pick-ups and appointments where perhaps they couldn’t before.
A new report has discovered that 67% of remote workers are using faulty tech when they work remotely.
And often that’s because they’ve accidentally damaged the tech themselves… they don’t want to admit it to their boss in case they get into trouble.
A company that sells refurbished technology surveyed 2,500 UK employees.
It found that laptops were most likely to be broken, followed by keyboards, monitors and PCs.
Most of the time the damage was done by spilled food and drink. Other causes of damage included other people in the house – such as a partner or housemates – and of course, pets.
We’ve all watched in horror as a cat brushes itself against a full glass of water next to a laptop…
Microsoft recently announced it’s working on a new feature which will allow you to see colleagues’ LinkedIn profiles during personal chats in Teams.
It looks like working from home and, more likely, hybrid working are here to stay. This means that businesses need to be confident that security in our staff’s homes is taken into account.
We’ve written a new guide to look at all the issues.
Working from home, working away from the office and suddenly realised you need to print, sign and scan a document but don’t have a scanner.
Microsoft 365 has an answer.
The App on your phone has a scanner built into it if you have the 365 app installed.
