Purpose
| Webinar Room | Meeting Room |
|---|---|
| Webinars allow a large number of participants, but most of them only take part as spectators. The edudip next webinar room is mainly used for classic online seminars and lectures, public talks, customer and sales presentations, employee training or event series. Due to the limited number of active participants, the webinar room is less suitable for online meetings and spontaneous meetings. | The meeting room was designed for spontaneous video conferences, in which all participants can be transmitted with video and audio. Meetings are ideal for interactive events, spontaneous online consultation or the daily scrum. The edudip next meeting room is mainly used for customer-oriented advice, in-house team meetings or individual training sessions. |
| The need for digital communication tools as well as the use of webinars and virtual meetings has increased enormously in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. Remote work with edudip next ensures easy digital collaboration with your business partners, customers and employees. |
