Smart Television in Simple Terms
The ‘Smart TV’ concept implies an internet-connected television set that runs on an operating system and comes with its own app service. This state-of-the-art device differs from traditional counterparts in enhanced interactive capabilities, providing easy access to on-demand online content, video games, social media, music and media playback. Moreover, you can host widescreen video meetings and communicate with your friends or family, collaborate on a common project, live stream video games, and more.
In short: TV + Internet + apps = Smart TV
Customarily, a smart television connects wirelessly to your home network as Wi-Fi receiver is already built into its configuration. Using the supplied remote, you can call up the on-screen menu to view internet channels and content offerings available. They’re usually displayed in the form of apps, which are preinstalled or downloadable to the smart TV library.
On October 7, we held a webinar about TrueConf Group 1.0, the latest upgrade of our video conferencing endpoint for meeting rooms of any size. Lev Yakupov, Chief Marketing Officer at TrueConf, showcased new product features and ran a Q&A session.
Remote work has seen tremendous growth over the past 5 years as companies realize the advantages of a distributed workforce. Although the COVID-19 pandemic is gradually slowing down, it will be sure to have a lasting impact on the future of work. A recent Gartner research has shown that 48% of employees will likely work remotely at least part-time after COVID-19 (as compared to 30% before the pandemic). Now that both employers and employees have seen the benefits of working from home the whole concept of a working environment is beginning to change.
TrueConf has released TrueConf Kiosk Safety Version (SV) with RFID and NFC access control designed for contactless communication in emergency hospitals. Powered by Linux or Windows, TrueConf Kiosk SV is an efficient communication bridge for frontline medical workers fighting COVID-19. The solution is used in the Bakulev Scientific Center for Cardiovascular Surgery to ensure safe video communication between the green and red zones of the hospital.
