Video Conferencing Tools Compared

In today’s episode, hosts Daphne and Fred unpack a new article by this show's producer, Curt Robbins, that reviews the six most popular video conferencing tools that was published on LinkedIn on November 15.

They organize them into three categories: Ecosystem Titans (Google Meet and Microsoft Teams), Video-first Giants (Webex and Zoom), and Specialist Challengers (GoTo Meeting and Zoho Meeting).

Robbins analyzes the pros and cons of each platform, emphasizing that the selection process should align a service's features, such as integration with productivity suites or focus on security, with an organization's specific needs.

Additionally, the text includes a technical note explaining that the maximum video resolution for all reviewed platforms is currently 1080p, so spending extra money on a 4K webcam is a waste of money (instead, he recommends investing that money into a second monitor or standing desk).
