Teams additionally introduces backdrop variations, adaptive formats, and automated transcription, all enhancing inclusivity and involvement.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38235\" src=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/3615f5a0-7086-44ea-ba20-d4c7993b7b29-690x384.png\" alt=\"Microsoft Teams\" width=\"771\" height=\"429\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/3615f5a0-7086-44ea-ba20-d4c7993b7b29-690x384.png 690w, https:\/\/trueconf.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/3615f5a0-7086-44ea-ba20-d4c7993b7b29-768x428.png 768w, https:\/\/trueconf.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/3615f5a0-7086-44ea-ba20-d4c7993b7b29.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h4--main h4--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">Zoom vs Teams: Chat systems<\/h2>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\"><b>Zoom<\/b> provides an integrated messaging feature, though it remains largely intended as an extension within its conferencing sessions. Participants may exchange private notes, distribute content, and organize team discussions, although these interactions are frequently connected with the session environment. After the conference concludes, conversation records become less significant for continuing cooperation, positioning Zoom Chat mainly as an auxiliary component instead of an independent communication center. Although Zoom has improved its messaging options throughout recent years, numerous enterprises continue depending upon outside platforms including Slack or Microsoft Teams for constant dialogue and file-based teamwork.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38238\" src=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/a36549d915df501984662a736c80f34b94d92bac_2_690x388.jpeg\" alt=\"Zoom vs Teams: Chat systems\" width=\"775\" height=\"436\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\"><b>Microsoft Teams<\/b>, by comparison, emerged as a comprehensive enterprise communication alongside collaboration environment. Its messaging capability stays continuous, ensuring exchanges remain reachable before, throughout, and following conferences. Teams enables spaces across diverse initiatives or units, threaded dialogues to maintain structure, and strong linkage with Microsoft 365 programs. Employees may jointly edit materials in real time, transfer files through OneDrive or SharePoint, and retrieve earlier conversations immediately. This transforms Teams into more than a conferencing product\u2014rather, a consolidated hub intended for everyday communication plus strategic project coordination.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38237\" src=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/microsoft-teams.png\" alt=\"Zoom vs Teams: Chat systems\" width=\"817\" height=\"511\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h4--main h4--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">Zoom vs Teams: AI Features<\/h2>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Artificial Intelligence (AI) increasingly assumes a pivotal function within improving organizational communication frameworks. Microsoft Teams alongside Zoom both integrate AI-driven features to optimize attendee interactions and overall productivity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\"><b>Microsoft Teams<\/b> incorporates AI across multiple functions: backdrop blurring plus adaptable environments to maintain professionalism; instant captions with transcription tools for inclusivity; and automated interpretation of dialogues, assisting in resolving language difficulties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\"><b>Zoom<\/b> likewise applies AI, delivering functions including background filters, visual enhancements, and its Smart Gallery capability, which organizes participant displays for equal visibility. Different from Teams, though, Zoom omits integrated translation and lacks real-time captioning at a comparable scale, which is why many organizations complement their workflow with tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notta.ai\/en\/tools\/microsoft-teams-recorder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Notta automatic Teams notes<\/a> to generate structured meeting summaries and searchable transcripts across platforms.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h4--main h4--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">Zoom vs Teams: Participant limits<\/h2>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\"><b>Zoom<\/b> permits regular gatherings to include as many as 100 attendees within its complimentary or starter-level subscription tiers. For bigger enterprises, this limit may be increased toward 500 or even 1,000 attendees using the Large Meeting extension. Webinars offered by Zoom extend capabilities further, accommodating several thousands of spectators depending upon the selected package, establishing it as a favored option for digital conferences, educational workshops, and organization-wide assemblies. Nevertheless, managing these massive groups carries an extra expense, and interactive elements can feel restricted compared against smaller-scale sessions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\"><b>Microsoft Teams<\/b> ensures comparable expansion but with an alternative operating framework. Teams meetings support nearly 1,000 attendees actively, enabling participants to interact through voice, video, and text. Beyond this threshold, Teams enables a broadcast-only configuration that admits up to 10,000 viewers (temporarily raised to 20,000 under certain enterprise subscriptions). This structure positions Teams as especially effective for blended communication needs where compact groups collaborate intensively, while larger crowds participate passively \u2014 for example, corporate updates, virtual events, or professional development courses.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h4--main h4--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">Zoom vs Teams: Room systems<\/h2>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\"><b>Zoom Rooms<\/b> represents Zoom\u2019s specialized platform for converting conventional conference halls into advanced video-supported collaboration environments. It demands a distinct Zoom Rooms subscription alongside suitable equipment, including cameras, microphones, and oversized monitors. Zoom Rooms gains recognition through its simplicity of configuration and user-friendly panels, enabling capabilities like single-touch entry, wireless screen broadcasting, digital displays, and reservation panels positioned outside meeting areas. Still, enterprises must allocate funds toward both software licensing and approved hardware, which often makes the overall expense of deployment comparatively significant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\"><b>Microsoft Teams Rooms<\/b> adopts a related strategy but was engineered to remain strongly connected within the Microsoft framework. It integrates with approved hardware supplied by vendors including Logitech, Poly, Yealink, and Crestron, offering diverse device selections for varying space capacities. Teams Rooms deliver integrated scheduling through Outlook, interactive touch consoles, and compatibility with dual monitors, positioning it as an ideal solution for organizations already reliant on Microsoft 365. Extending beyond video sessions, Teams Rooms utilize productivity features such as Whiteboard collaboration and document distribution, effectively uniting physical conference areas with virtual working environments.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h4--main h4--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">Zoom vs Teams: Integrations<\/h2>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\"><b>Zoom<\/b> provides an extensive catalog of integrations across widely adopted external applications, making it flexible within varying organizational contexts. It integrates smoothly with Slack for collaborative messaging, Salesforce supporting CRM processes, and Google Workspace assisting scheduling or correspondence oversight. Zoom\u2019s App Marketplace presents numerous connections spanning workflow management, educational platforms, and promotional automation systems. Such integrations strengthen Zoom\u2019s essential conferencing functions, though they frequently depend on separate applications to deliver the complete collection of cooperative capabilities. For instance, several businesses adopt Zoom for sessions while combining it with Slack, Trello, or Asana for continuous messaging and assignment organization.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38234\" src=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/67c56c2a2519303f415bd714_ad_4nxfn1kb2hdtuleetpen3htwvw5u3x4ibeebewunfggs2rnr0uhapn3bu4zkfnyoklaaueszd1iybxpaavsgdvwptiorl8gkczjii87zdtghxsogbhahoowjjlnqipwsvladkqjuy-690x395.png\" alt=\"Zoom vs Teams: Integrations\" width=\"861\" height=\"493\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/67c56c2a2519303f415bd714_ad_4nxfn1kb2hdtuleetpen3htwvw5u3x4ibeebewunfggs2rnr0uhapn3bu4zkfnyoklaaueszd1iybxpaavsgdvwptiorl8gkczjii87zdtghxsogbhahoowjjlnqipwsvladkqjuy-690x395.png 690w, https:\/\/trueconf.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/67c56c2a2519303f415bd714_ad_4nxfn1kb2hdtuleetpen3htwvw5u3x4ibeebewunfggs2rnr0uhapn3bu4zkfnyoklaaueszd1iybxpaavsgdvwptiorl8gkczjii87zdtghxsogbhahoowjjlnqipwsvladkqjuy-1024x587.png 1024w, https:\/\/trueconf.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/67c56c2a2519303f415bd714_ad_4nxfn1kb2hdtuleetpen3htwvw5u3x4ibeebewunfggs2rnr0uhapn3bu4zkfnyoklaaueszd1iybxpaavsgdvwptiorl8gkczjii87zdtghxsogbhahoowjjlnqipwsvladkqjuy-768x440.png 768w, https:\/\/trueconf.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/67c56c2a2519303f415bd714_ad_4nxfn1kb2hdtuleetpen3htwvw5u3x4ibeebewunfggs2rnr0uhapn3bu4zkfnyoklaaueszd1iybxpaavsgdvwptiorl8gkczjii87zdtghxsogbhahoowjjlnqipwsvladkqjuy-1536x880.png 1536w, https:\/\/trueconf.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/67c56c2a2519303f415bd714_ad_4nxfn1kb2hdtuleetpen3htwvw5u3x4ibeebewunfggs2rnr0uhapn3bu4zkfnyoklaaueszd1iybxpaavsgdvwptiorl8gkczjii87zdtghxsogbhahoowjjlnqipwsvladkqjuy.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 861px) 100vw, 861px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\"><b>Microsoft Teams<\/b>, conversely, was created as an integral element within the Microsoft 365 framework and links directly with tools like Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and SharePoint.

Additionally, Teams fails to presently support genuine end-to-end protection for collaborative calls, instead depending upon encryption during transfer and after storage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Across both scenarios, these services depend significantly upon cloud-operated infrastructure, which may represent a critical limitation for organizations functioning in tightly regulated fields or governmental divisions where localized installation and complete information control remain compulsory.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h4--main h4--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">Zoom vs Teams: Pricing<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"h5--main h5--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">Zoom<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"ui-list ui-list--medium\" style=\"margin-bottom: 18px;\">\n<li class=\"ui-list__item ui-list__item--disc\"><b>Free plan<\/b>: unlimited 1:1 meetings, but group sessions limited to 40 minutes.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ui-list__item ui-list__item--disc\"><b>Pro plan<\/b>: starts at $14.99\/user\/month, removes time limits, adds reporting tools.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ui-list__item ui-list__item--disc\"><b>Business plan<\/b>: $19.99\/user\/month, includes admin dashboard, branding, and more participants.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ui-list__item ui-list__item--disc\"><b>Enterprise<\/b>: custom pricing, larger participant limits, advanced features.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ui-list__item ui-list__item--disc\"><b>Add-ons<\/b>: Large Meeting, Webinars, Zoom Rooms, Cloud storage (sold separately).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"h5--main h5--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">Microsoft Teams<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"ui-list ui-list--medium\" style=\"margin-bottom: 18px;\">\n<li class=\"ui-list__item ui-list__item--disc\"><b>Free plan<\/b>: unlimited chat, video meetings, and basic file sharing (limited storage).<\/li>\n<li class=\"ui-list__item ui-list__item--disc\"><b>Paid plans<\/b> bundled with Microsoft 365 subscriptions.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ui-list__item ui-list__item--disc\"><b>Microsoft 365 Business Basic<\/b>: $6.00\/user\/month, includes Teams, Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ui-list__item ui-list__item--disc\"><b>Microsoft 365 Business Standard<\/b>: $12.50\/user\/month, adds desktop apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook).<\/li>\n<li class=\"ui-list__item ui-list__item--disc\"><b>Office 365 E3<\/b>: $23\/user\/month, includes advanced compliance, analytics, and security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">In reality, Zoom\u2019s costs may grow burdensome for enterprises requiring numerous extensions and extensive implementations, whereas Teams ensures stronger worth regarding investment for firms integrated within the Microsoft environment. The central variation lies wherein Zoom bills primarily for conferencing participant capacity, while Teams subscriptions encompass a wider productivity package that stretches well beyond digital meetings.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h4--main h4--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">Why TrueConf is a Better Alternative to Zoom and Microsoft Teams?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">While Zoom and Microsoft Teams dominate the cloud-based collaboration market, they both rely on external servers and subscription-based pricing, which can limit flexibility, increase long-term costs, and raise concerns about data sovereignty. TrueConf, by contrast, is designed for organizations that need complete control, maximum security, and independence from third-party cloud providers, making it one of the noteworthy <a href=\"https:\/\/ewebinar.com\/blog\/zoom-webinar-alternatives\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">alternatives to Zoom webinar<\/a> options for companies seeking secure and self-hosted communication systems.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-37967\" src=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/header-en-1-2.png\" alt=\"TrueConf is Alternative to Zoom and Microsoft Teams\" width=\"868\" height=\"475\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Here\u2019s why TrueConf stands out as a stronger alternative:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h5--main h5--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">On-premises deployment<\/h3>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Unlike Zoom and Teams, which operate primarily in the cloud, TrueConf can be fully deployed on your company\u2019s own servers. This ensures that sensitive data never leaves your infrastructure, which is critical for government agencies, financial institutions, healthcare providers, and other security-focused industries.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h5--main h5--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">Flexible capacity<\/h3>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">TrueConf does not charge per registered user. Instead, licensing is based on the number of concurrent connections (ports). Companies can create unlimited accounts and scale the system according to their requirements without hidden add-ons.<\/p>\n<div class=\"grid-layout\">\n<div class=\"grid-layout__col-2\">\n<div class=\"grid-layout__item grid-layout__item--md grid-layout__item--color\">\n<h3 class=\"h5--main h5--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3\">Karnataka Bank|Case Study<\/h3>\n<p class=\"primary-small-text\">Karnataka Bank implemented TrueConf platform, contributing to enhanced productivity and performance among its employees.TrueConf Server meets the bank&#8217;s high requirements for sensitive data security and ensures uninterrupted communication across all branches.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"default-button default-button--sm default-button--orange default-button--rounded default-button--truncate white-text\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/blog\/success-stories\/karnataka-bank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"default-button__text\">Success story<\/span><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-layout__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"ClinicTracker Success story\" src=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/karnataka-bank-ltd-head-office-kankanady-mangalore-banks-99iz5y1k4q.jpg\" alt=\"Karnataka Bank|Case Study\" \/ loading=\"lazy\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"h5--main h5--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">Enterprise-grade security<\/h3>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Data is stored locally, and communication never passes through third-party servers. TrueConf supports modern encryption standards (AES-256, SRTP, TLS 1.3), role-based access control, and detailed administrative policies to guarantee compliance with regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO 27001.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h5--main h5--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">Room system support with existing hardware<\/h3>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">TrueConf integrates smoothly with existing conference room equipment via SIP\/H.323 protocols, allowing companies to reuse their AV infrastructure instead of being locked into proprietary Zoom Rooms or Microsoft Teams Rooms hardware. This drastically reduces hardware costs and avoids vendor lock-in.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h5--main h5--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">Deep IT integrations<\/h3>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">TrueConf offers seamless integration with LDAP\/Active Directory, PBX systems, and corporate IT infrastructure, making it a natural fit for enterprises that require unified management across different communication channels.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h5--main h5--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">Flexible pricing model<\/h3>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Instead of costly monthly subscriptions, TrueConf offers both annual and perpetual licensing options. This means either ongoing updates via subscription or a one-time investment with long-term cost savings, making it more cost-effective than Zoom or Teams in the long run, especially for medium and large enterprises.<\/p>\n<style>\n\t.accent-card {<br \/>\n\t    \/*background: url(\/images\/common\/backgrounds\/blue-semi-transparent-rounded-squares-1138-x-510.svg) 50% 50% \/ cover no-repeat;*\/<br \/>\n\t    border-radius: 12px;<br \/>\n\t\tpadding: 40px 28px;<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t@media screen and (max-width: 576px) {<br \/>\n\t\t.accent-card {<br \/>\n\t\t\tpadding: 24px;<br \/>\n\t\t}<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n<\/style>\n<div style=\"background: #00B3CD;

Zoom proves optimal for enterprises that emphasize streaming quality with simplicity of operation, whereas Teams becomes the logical selection for organizations already embedded inside Microsoft 365.<\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Nevertheless, for enterprises pursuing stronger protection, autonomy from cloud operators, and budget efficiency, TrueConf appears as the leading substitute. Through providing local installation, unrestricted expansion, and complete connectivity with enterprise systems, TrueConf guarantees that companies maintain absolute authority over their interactions.<\/p>\n<section id=\"faq\">\n<h2 class=\"h3--main h3--thick black-text ui-mb-md-1\">FAQ<\/h2>\n<div class=\"faq__container ui-mb-md-1\">\n<div class=\"faq__item\">\n<p class=\"faq__question h4--main h4--thick black-text hyphens--auto margin--not\">Is Microsoft Teams better than Zoom?<\/p>\n<div class=\"faq__answer\">\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text margin--not\">Deciding among Microsoft Teams or Zoom depends upon organizational priorities. Teams thrives through comprehensive Office 365 linkage, rendering it optimal for enterprises already inside Microsoft\u2019s ecosystem, delivering functions like document co-editing and organized project coordination. Zoom remains appreciated for its ease, high video clarity, and ability to handle massive sessions, which makes it widespread in education plus online seminars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text margin--not\">Both provide content sharing, subgroup rooms, and archiving, yet vary regarding compliance and protection measures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text margin--not\">TrueConf, distinct from both, delivers an on-premises substitute with local installation, enterprise-level protection, and compatibility with current room systems plus corporate IT. It becomes especially suitable for institutions requiring total information control together with independence from external clouds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq__item\">\n<p class=\"faq__question h4--main h4--thick black-text hyphens--auto margin--not\">What are the weaknesses of Zoom?<\/p>\n<div class=\"faq__answer\">\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text margin--not\">Zoom delivers powerful meeting capabilities yet continues encountering scrutiny because of previous safety incidents such as \u201cZoombombing,\u201d causing various enterprises to perceive it less trustworthy compared with Microsoft Teams. Unlike Teams, Zoom misses a unified productivity environment, concentrating mostly on video sessions and creating shortcomings in teamwork or project coordination. The complimentary edition restricts group meetings to 40 minutes, and efficiency can fluctuate within areas suffering unstable connectivity. TrueConf, by contrast, introduces an on-premises solution with enterprise-level protection, localized installation, and extensive IT integrations, enabling companies absolute authority over their communication infrastructure without depending upon outside cloud services.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq__item\">\n<p class=\"faq__question h4--main h4--thick black-text hyphens--auto margin--not\">Which is more accessible, Teams or Zoom?<\/p>\n<div class=\"faq__answer\">\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text margin--not\">Zoom remains appreciated due to its intuitive layout plus accessibility elements including transcripts, hotkeys, and compatibility with screen-reading software, making it suitable for inexperienced participants. Microsoft Teams connects within Office 365 and introduces Immersive Reader, real-time captions, and contrasting themes, which assist individuals already embedded in the Microsoft ecosystem. The preferable platform varies by user scenario: Zoom proves simpler for novices, whereas Teams benefits professionals relying heavily on Microsoft applications. TrueConf delivers an additional dimension through on-premises hosting, inclusive accessibility functions, and enterprise connectivity, granting companies reliable and fully managed collaboration free from cloud dependency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq__item\">\n<p class=\"faq__question h4--main h4--thick black-text hyphens--auto margin--not\">Can Teams replace a call center or other workplace apps?<\/p>\n<div class=\"faq__answer\">\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text margin--not\">Microsoft Teams may substitute certain messaging utilities yet remains not an absolute alternative for a specialized call center environment. Although it provides ongoing conversations, conferencing, resource exchange, and linkage with Microsoft 365, it misses built-in contact center features. Enterprises demanding complex tools such as call distribution and reporting generally depend upon dedicated platforms. Nevertheless, Teams reduces dependence upon numerous productivity programs by consolidating communication, meetings, and cooperation within a single workspace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"divider\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"accent-note accent-note--special ui-mb-sm-1\">\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text\"><strong><i>About the Author<\/i><\/strong><br \/>\n<i>Olga Afonina is a technology writer and industry expert specializing in video conferencing solutions and collaboration software.
