But, this method has its drawbacks. An audio conference can represent the exact opposite of effective communication, with attendees talking over each other, speaking out of turn, and vying to get a word in edgewise. Audio conferencing also leaves out critically important aspects of communications\u2014nonverbal gestures, facial expressions and body language. This makes it especially tough to gauge someone\u2019s true meaning when they are speaking or a person\u2019s reaction to a statement or question. After all, the full range of human emotions cannot be expressed through voice alone.<\/p>\n<p>Case in point, a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.softwareadvice.com\/voip\/industryview\/preferred-conferencing-solutions-2014\/\">recent study<\/a>\u00a0found that, while employees like the ease of setup that audio conferencing provides, they also like the ability to read body language through video conferencing. In reality, most employees use a mix of video and audio conferencing to meet their communications needs, with 39 percent relying more on audio for internal communications and 31 percent using both equally.<\/p>\n<p>With today\u2019s workplace growing increasingly more global, and remote communications taking center stage, it takes more sensitivity than ever to communicate effectively. Teams and employees frequently conference with people from all cultures, walks of life and types of businesses\u2014making it even more important that those little nuances of body language don\u2019t go unnoticed. For these reasons, the balance is tipping more toward Web conferencing in workplaces today, and it\u2019s starting to be used just as much as audio conferencing. There are several reasons why employees turn to<a href=\"http:\/\/www.3cx.com\/blog\/webrtc-how-to\/web-collaboration\/\">\u00a0Web conferencing<\/a>\u00a0for communications:<\/p>\n<h4>A more intimate conferencing experience<\/h4>\n<p>Video conferencing makes attendees feel as though they are in the same room together, no matter where they are located. They can make eye contact and observe each others\u2019 facial expressions and gestures. This helps increase collaboration and respect and makes for more-effective meetings.<\/p>\n<h4>More-effective large-group communication<\/h4>\n<p>Audio conferencing gets unwieldy when the group gets too large. Video conferencing, on the other hand, enables people to visually gauge each other\u2019s reactions and see people while they speak and listen, making it less likely that attendees will talk over each other or jockey for speaking position to get heard.<\/p>\n<h4>Increased convenience and speed<\/h4>\n<p>Especially when Web conferencing is enhanced with WebRTC, it provides the high quality and speed that support business interactions among participants. The ability to communicate visually in real time makes attendees feel more connected and makes video conferencing a more viable option for both large conference calls and quick face-to-face meetings. However many attendees, everyone can connect visually and observe nonverbal communication in real time with the latest video conferencing technology.<\/p>\n<p>Research shows that more than 50 percent of communication is nonverbal. With video conferencing, employees no longer have to worry about missing half the message. As part of a unified communications strategy that fits the remote nature and fast pace of business today, Web conferencing is providing the instant face-to-face communication needed to help work run more smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Call Clarity Technologies Group, LLC at 800-354-4160 today.
