The modern workplace has undergone a radical shift in recent years, moving increasingly away from an office-centric model towards a more hybrid working environment
Corporate employees are revealing they are increasingly spending more time in meetings, with over 77% of these taking place online
Users can host and attend meetings in lifelike virtual reality – with no software downloads – engaging their audiences in a more collaborative and fun way
In April 2022, the company launched the world’s first web-based, mobile-friendly, audio and video conference platform
