Top 5 Video Conferencing Tools on Salesforce

In today’s blog, we’ll go over the top five video conferencing tools on the Salesforce platform that will maximize your experience. We’ve all had to get used to taking our offices, conference rooms, and even classrooms virtually over the past few months.

For some, working or taking classes virtually has been the norm for far longer than the COVID-19 pandemic. As many continue to embrace remote work, video conferencing and Cloud-based communications are essential. 

Zoom

By now, we are all familiar with the video conferencing tool giant, Zoom. Whether Zoom has been your virtual conference room or classroom,  Zoom has been a lifesaver during the COVID-19 pandemic for its quality and efficiency. Zoom now has a native integration with Salesforce, making it easy for Salesforce users to start a Zoom meeting and track it in their Salesforce activity history. With Zoom, you can supercharge your productivity by leveraging Zoom Meetings, Zoom Phone, or Zoom Webinars directly from your Salesforce environment. 

Schedule or start a Zoom Webinar, add leads and contacts as registrants, and track participation as a part of contact details. You can also use the Zoom Phone dialer to start and manage Zoom Phone calls. Automatically log call activities and draw contacts directly from the Salesforce interface into your Zoom Phone.

Charket
