Equipping a workspace
Today, it's a fact: virtual meetings have become our new reality, and the number of professionals who want to work in a hybrid/flexible space continues to grow ( and there seems no end ).
Our goal, and our priority, is to accompany you step by step so that you know exactly how to effectively organize these meetings and what tools are essential to carry them out.
We prefer to warn you! On this page we are not going to talk about furniture ( this is not Ikea ) or computer equipment. We are going to focus all our energy on hardware equipment and intangible tools ( software ) to hold videoconferences from your workplace, and we will start now:
1 - What material do I need?
Video conferencing is teamwork. For one-on-one collaboration, there are some basic equipment requirements that should not be overlooked. Which are? We have put together a list of what we consider essential:
Computer ( desktop or laptop ):
This is really the BASIC tool for
professional collaboration.
Webcam
It is the device that is used to
appear before the interlocutor
Headphones
This is a so-called "closed" audio tool, keeping sound confined to your ears (we love it for its foolproof confidentiality protection)
Microphone/Speaker
On the other hand, there is the "open" audio system, which spreads the sound throughout the room ( used for solo or small group meetings )
All-in-one systems
They are the definitive tools. They integrate EVERYTHING : camera, speakers and even microphones ( such as the Lenovo ThinkSmart View )
Internet connection
It is true that the Internet connection is not a physical device, but without it it is impossible to work together remotely. Yes, it's mathematical: no Internet connection = no access to video software...! So our best advice is to make it a priority.
Just in time, we've created a dedicated page with all our tips and tricks for increasing your internet speed ( right here )!
2 - Which video conferencing platform to trust?
Now that you know everything you need in terms of hardware, it's time to look at the software requirements you need to consider when equipping yourself for one-on-one collaboration ( this goes for both the office and home ). So, to help you choose the video tool that best suits your needs and preferences, we present the 3 must-haves in the "Must-have video software" category. The nominees are:
Microsoft 's collaboration tool to
organize online meetings!
The cloud
-based web conferencing platform !
Google video software for secure meetings
for everyone!
And now that?
Now that you know roughly the hardware and software requirements of a personal workstation, it's time to get down to business !
