Social distancing and self-quarantine are the order of the day, but work and communication need not stop. The contagious COVID-19 has forced us all to stay indoors. But you can still stay connected with others by trying some of the best video conferencing apps on your iPhone and iPad. Let’s see what options are available to us.
1. Microsoft Teams
Although Microsoft Teams is a free video conferencing app, it requires paid Office 365 commercial subscription, or a free or trial subscription of Microsoft Teams. Once you set up this app on your device, your professional life is in order.
As a business owner, you can manage your team conversations, files, meetings and more – everything in a single shared workspace.
For video conferencing, you can connect face-to-face with HD audio and video. Join meetings from anywhere in the world.
