Other video conferencing tools for the workspace

If Remo is not the solution you're looking for, here are some of the numerous video conferencing solutions available and what each is best for:

Microsoft Teams

One of the most popular amongst corporate businesses, Teams is great for video calls. If you use other Microsoft solutions like Outlook, Microsoft Teams it's a good solution for your video meetings.

Google Meet

If you already use the G Suite (Gmail, Google Chrome, Google Calendar, Google Hangouts, etc.) this is a great easy-to-use tool to schedule meetings, one-on-ones, and conference calls. There are also dial-in options and great security features.

GoToMeeting

Geared toward high numbers of participants, it's a great tool for larger video conference. You also get an option to pick between VoIP and toll-based voice options.

RingCentral Video

This video conferencing platform is great for larger remote teams and call recording.

Cisco Webex

Great for workplace conference calls. Cisco has mobile apps for both Android and Apple (iOS), it also integrates with Google Drive, Microsoft 365, and Salesforce. Webex also offers premium plans with additional functionality including cloud storage, recording transcripts, dial-in and more.

Zoho meeting

A solution for your remote collaboration for the hybrid work.
