Is communicating by video conference becoming more common in your business? Even if it's not yet, it probably will be soon.

Not long ago, you would have had to go to a specially-equipped room in your company to join a video conference. Now, you can connect with clients and colleagues around the world from anywhere, just using your laptop, tablet, or smartphone.It's so convenient.
