Video Conferencing Tips

Today many of us are working from home due to Covid-19. So there is no opportunity to have face-to-face meeting, instead we hold video meetings.

The benefits of video conferencing are many such as;

  • You can see those you talk to
  • You can read body language and gestures as in a physical meeting

Thus getting a holistic experience of the conversation that you cannot get in a telephone conference or via written communication. Regardless of the platform you work with, there are some things you need to think about before you have your video conference.

Here are some of our tips to have a successful video meeting:

 Prepare for the meeting

  • Make sure you have good lighting in the room, avoid having a window in the background
  • Check that your computer has the correct camera and audio settings
  • You need to familiarise yourself with the meeting program (for example Microsoft Teams / Zoom) in advance, to confirm you know how it works
  • If you need to share documents during the meeting, make sure that these programs are open for easy access during the meeting
  • Ensure you have all the materials you need for the meeting available

 During the meeting

  • Start the meeting with a presentation round, it means that everyone in the meeting is seen
  • Make sure that everyone has the camera is turned on so you can see each other (the meeting will feel a bit more “real”)
  • Always keep the microphone on, however turn off the microphone in order not to disturb others, especially in multi-party meetings
  • Avoid flipping through paper, clicking on the pen, texting, whispering to a colleague, eating, or drinking during the meeting
  • If you share presentations / data image, avoid jumping between images quickly
  • Look directly into the camera when you talk and have a good conversational tone

    Good luck!

With video conferencing, you get as close to a physical meeting as you can get and with today’s technology, you can get both image and sound of high quality.

The above are some tips but do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions about your current video conference or need other solutions

Is it Time to Replace your Motorola Two-Way Radio Battery?

Signs that your radio battery needs to be replaced include the Motorola battery requires you to recharge it continually shorter intervals and/or the radio is constantly beeping when turned on or transmitting.

However, we recommend the best way to ascertain if your Motorola Two-Way Batteries need to be replaced, is for you to check them against the reference key on your Motorola Multi-Unit Charger:Motorola Two-Way Radio

  • If the charger LED is AMBER, the battery is reforming and should be left to complete this
  • If the battery flashes RED/GREEN, it is nearing the end of its useful life
  • Flashing RED means the battery will not charge and before you replace it, check the connection in the charger just in case
  • Solid RED means the battery is charging
  • Solid GREEN means the battery is charged and ready for use

For more information, read our article Is Your Two-Way Radio Battery Treated Right?

Otherwise, contact us if you have any further questions.

Relocation of the Staisafe Radio System in Staines

Business Comms engineers have completed the first phase of the relocation of the Staisafe radio system in Staines-upon-Thames.

This involved the recovery of two base station repeaters and an antenna array from a now defunct department store and installing the equipment at the top of a nearby multistorey car park.

This is the first phase of the project.

The second phase will be completed with the issue of a revised licence from Ofcom and the purchase of a two channel combiner which will enable the two repeaters to be connected to a single replacement antenna array.

Gatwick Station Redevelopment – Site Comms

Working with Costain the Principal Contractor on the Gatwick Station Redevelopment project, Business Comms has provided a Motorola 4 channel Repeater system using Motorola Solutions Capacity Plus software to support a fleet of ca. 80 DP4400e and 4800e keypad display Digital Two-Way Radios.
