To prevent the widespread distribution of corona, not a few companies that apply work from home policies, or work from home.
Working from home, does not mean having to sacrifice productivity. Although the face-to-face meeting is abolished, there are other ways to conduct meetings to discuss important matters from each home.
The easiest way is to do a video conference. There are a number of applications that can be used for video conferencing, both through computer devices and smartphones. One that can be used is the Hangsout Meet application.
This Google-made application is actually a paid alias premium. However, Google makes this service free until 1 July 2020 to help workers who work from home to avoid the corona virus.
Not only to hold meetings, Hangouts Meets can also be used for other meetings, such as teaching and learning activities. "As more and more employees, educators, and students work remotely in response to the spread of the COVID-19 virus, we want to help them stay connected and productive," Google wrote in its official blog, which we summarized from Search Engine Journal, Tuesday ( 3/17/2020).
This Hangouts Meet can accommodate up to 250 participants in one teleconference. Teleconferencing live broadcasts can be watched up to 100,000 viewers with one domain.
