I use multiple tools, both as a teleworker and as an independent consultant.
✓ GoToMeeting
GoToMeeting is my personal favorite. That’s because it provides controls that allow me to manage a remote session, such as a webinar myself, without the use of an administrator as many of the larger more costly tools require.
✓ Zoom
However, Zoom is the one I use the most. That’s because it’s free for one-on-one meetings and allows group calls with up to three people free for 40 minutes. Like GoToMeeting, Zoom allows me to screen share applications. I use it when conducting one-on-one meetings as seeing one another’s faces helps create connection and trust. I also use it when conducting live training sessions, as I can see the participant’s reactions as they view my presentation deck live on the screen.
✓ Slack
The sleeper in my opinion in #Slack. Many firms have adopted collaborative online tools like Slack and I’ve used Slack channels for project and team collaboration across a few firms. However, Slack has a phone/video conference option as well that for some reason I feel people aren’t aware of. (Perhaps Slack needs to increase user awareness of it’s free video conference tools). If you’re already using Slack in your firm (or if you want to set up a free account for your family), all you have to do is choose the icon that looks like a phone, and voila — free face-to-face one-on-one video conference with your co-worker!
