Travel
VC calling
Meetings without the travel
What
Wave goodbye to cramped journeys with no leg room; use video conferencing for your meetings. Instead of wasting hours travelling for a conversation or conference, save money, time and carbon by doing it from the comfort of your office - or even your own home.
By downloading your chosen video-conferencing software (see here for a list of VC software you can use), you can chat without crossing the country or the seas!
Why
Cars, buses, trains and planes all pump out carbon emissions. By reducing your travel, you'll be significantly reducing your impact on the environment.
How
- Find out if your office has any conference calling facilities and book them (and if they don’t, ask the facilities manager to get on the case!). Simple.
- Sign yourself up to a video conferencing site.
- How’s your webcam? Most modern computers include good quality webcams and microphones but it’s worth ensuring you don’t look or sound like a robot!
- Check your internet connection and account beforehand with a test call to a friend or colleague.
- Find yourself a quiet, well-lit location, and get yourself a glass of water or a cup of tea.
- Happy meeting!
