Working remotely with Cliq: How to host a meeting efficiently via GroupCall and Live Video Feed in Remote Work.



Accessibility and engagement are the two main essentials for workplace productivity. Remote Work in Cliq brings you Live Video Feed and Group Call to help you make sure, you are accessible and available for collaboration. In this post, we will share some exclusive tips on how to host a meeting efficiently via Remote Work.

Group Call in Remote Work

Nothing better than a live team interaction to brainstorm new ideas but working remotely the next close thing is group call. Group call in Remote Work facilitates both audio and video call. In an audio group call you can add up to 18 people and can have up to 9 people on a face to face video call.

Here are tips to make quick and efficient group calls:

Hosting a quick team interaction call

Waste no time, stream in a chat directly for a group call.

Streaming a chat is beneficial in scenarios where a stakeholder of a team needs to collaborate with another team regarding a product requirement, say the head of sales team has a new requirement proposed by a client, the sales head can get on a quick group call by streaming in the development team channel and discuss on the possible ways to implement it.



On a lighter note, if you're all working remotely, teams can catch up on each other's well-being and weekly progress by getting on a group video call.

A conversation with just the key stakeholders

For instance, say you're gearing up for your project's release and want to have a quick discussion and go over the checklist. You might want to bring in only the key stakeholders for a quick discussion, if that's the case, then all you've got to do is:

Create the group call, and in the Stream-in option, choose to Stream the group call with a selected few participants. Go ahead and add your stakeholders and discuss! To know more on how to create a group call click here



Bonus tip: When you create a group call by adding individual participants, a group chat is created along with it. During the group call this chat can be used for sending messages or files to support the context of your conversation. Later this chat can be leveraged to provide insight about the discussions of the meeting to the members in the channel who could not join the group call.

Making your long boring meetings lively and contextual

Add reactions to express your interest in the conversations. Share screens to your teams for better contextual explanations. We suggest flipping to flim strip view while sharing screens for better focus.

Take notes!

Access Notebook by clicking on the Menu button in the conference window ---> click  on Notes then jot down the significant points, list of tasks and more during the group call and save it directly to Zoho notebook, vice-versa access your existing notes in a jiff to present the meeting’s agenda or your thoughts on the topic. To know more on how to integrate Notebook with Cliq click here.



Focus during presentations and hear collectively while you ideate!

Use "Film Strip view" in scenarios where there is an active speaker addressing the rest of the audience to minimize distraction.

Use "Gallery view" for discussions, brainstorming ideas or any scenario that involves collective decision-making.

So those were some handy tips on the engagement front, now, lets see how accessibility is made easy through Live Video Feed in Remote Work and some bonus tips on how to use it efficiently as well.

Live Video Feed in Remote Work

The main aim of Live Video Feed is to replicate the feel good atmosphere of workplace, isn't it nice to be able to check on your team members just like you do in your office with a quick peek from your chair.
While working remotely the Live Video Feed serves more than just that, it allows you to ensure, your colleagues availability at their desk before you ping them for a doubt or schedule a quick group call. To know more on Live video feed and how to enable it click here.



Your privacy in your clutches

You have absolute control over enabling your Live video feed. Your organizational members can view your feed based on the permission privileges set by the admin and by no means can the admin force you or can himself enable your Live Video Feed.

Know who is viewing your feed

When someone is viewing your live video feed, there's an eye icon that appears near your live feed view. You can view the members who view your live video feed by hovering over the eye icon.

Live Video Feed is completely configurable

Organization admins have the power to configure permission privileges for Live Video Feed based on which the members will be able to view your feed. Read this to know more about Live video feed permission privileges.
Hope these tips were insightful. We will come back to you with more on Working remotely with Cliq series. Until then stay healthy, stay productive.

Cheers!
