3. Screen sharing
Screen sharing done as part of group video conference helps in better design reviews. It is now possible to review whatever your team creates including marketing campaign and software prototype through screen sharing.

This helps the marketing team to market the products effectively by sharing the screen and the sales team to deliver dynamic presentations. Moreover, the sales team can use the time saved more effectively in closing other deals.
6. Host daily stand-up meetings

By hosting daily or weekly stand up meeting, the trust and relationship between team members are strengthened. Since it is possible to meet all members in a 3 ways video conference, it becomes easy to coordinate projects thus, improving decision making.
