Connect And Collaborate: How To Select The Right Meeting Platform?

It's Zoom. Just kidding.

Zoom is a very popular choice. But can you REALLY expect a virtual event platform to make your virtual meeting look good just because everyone else uses it?

You could grab the first virtual platform that pops up on a Google search. And in all honesty, it will probably work OK. But knowing which virtual event platform is best for YOU is a bit more complicated than that.

Which is going to look better; a suit off the rack at Dillards or a tailor-made custom suit?

The question is not, "Which virtual platform is best?" but "Which virtual platform will be the best for your online event?"

Can't I Just Use Zoom?

Zoom is a great virtual event platform. And Zoom could be the best virtual platform for your online meeting.

But remember, this isn't just a video call with friends and family. This is a professional production event. And things can get complicated quickly if you do not have a professional event management team assisting you.

Have you REALLY thought about the logistics of using Zoom for your next virtual or hybrid event?

• What happens if more than 10 people show up? What if there are hundreds of attendees?
• How will you handle people having technical issues if you go at it alone?
• Will you pre-assign breakout rooms?
• Will you use Zoom Events or Zoom Meetings?
• Will your backend settings be optimized to avoid common distractions?

Which Other Virtual Platform Choices Are There?

There are SO many virtual meeting platforms to choose from.

Which virtual event platform will be the BEST one to help you deliver your message? For example:

• Do you know which virtual platform offers the best audio?
• Or which virtual platform provides the best video?
• Which virtual platform allows you to continue to share even when you drop off the meeting?

Virtual Velocity has produced and tested numerous virtual platforms and has seen the best and the worst each platform has to offer.

These are just a few that we test and produce in:

• Zoom
• Cisco Webex
• Microsoft Teams
• GoToMeeting
• Google Meet
• Adobe Connect
• Toasty
• Butter

Which virtual platform do we recommend? Again, it depends on your specific needs.

There is no "one size fits all" virtual platform any more than there is one best vehicle for every driver.
