Screen sharing issues, poor audio quality and high monthly costs are three common web conferencing issues. The web conferencing products of the company R-HUB is an example of how it is possible to avoid these problems
A main reason of the increasing popularity of web conferencing has been the winning combination of the ease of audio conferencing with the visual features of video conferencing; yet, this combination is also the cause of many issues, like being too screen share reliant, too internet connection dependent, and too expensive on a per month base. In this article, we will see how R-HUB have been able to address these issues in their products.
What does it means being too screen share reliant? It means that users have no control on what will be displayed on their screens during web conferences. I remember an entrepreneur in a web conference who kept getting emails from their credit card company saying they were past due. This happened during a pitch up in front of their potential investors. Another common pitfall is that during a web conference all of users’ folders – also the ones users had better keep secret – are displayed to everyone, while looking for that particular file to share.
What is the solution? Prepare your web conference before. Stop pop ups and alerts, and upload all the files you need to show to your audience into your presentation, so that you share the files rather than your screen. For this reason, R-HUB web conferencing servers are equipped with all the necessary functionalities that allow users to easily upload their documents before their meetings.
What does it means being too internet connection depending? It means that users can get connected to the audio only through their pc speakers and microphones, in one word, through the internet. This cause issues on spotty connections, especially in terms of poor audio quality, and limit access only to computer savvy users.
What is the solution? Utilize a web conferencing product that is not internet connection depending, like R-HUB’s web conferencing servers. In this way, users can dial in with their telephones and get the audio for the conference that way.
How expensive are web conferencing services per month? They can be really expensive, ranging from 30 dollars per month per user to up 100 dollars. This means being cost prohibitive for most small businesses and non-profit organizations. Not to mention the additional fees for recording and the limitations on the maximum allowed participant amount per meeting.
What is the solution? Choose products of companies that use a flat fee, like R-HUB. In this way, you can add a virtually unlimited number of participants to a web conference at zero cost.No participant limitations or record fees are usually set under this kind of license. R-HUB give also provides a free 30 days trial account. For further information, please visit their website, http://www.rhubcom.com
