If you are looking for a more capable service, then Skype for Business, WebEx and Zoom are all popular video call options.

What equipment will you need?
In principle, you do not need any special equipment for cloud conferencing. Only an app and device that can connect to it with a mic.
However, if you’re looking for a high-quality solution then we recommended that you invest in a microphone and webcam. In this case, finding a good quality microphone with full-duplex technology, echo cancellation and noise reduction technology is important. If you are also looking for a top of the range camera, then a PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera is the best option.
