Vonage Meetings is the latest in a series of innovations to Vonage Business Communications (VBC), enhancing the Company’s unified communications offering. Included for all VBC users, Vonage Meetings is giving businesses the ability to activate conversations everywhere and stay connected, especially during the current health crisis when face-to-face communications are no longer a safe option. Fully integrated into VBC, Vonage Meetings leverages the Vonage API Platform to enable collaboration via voice, SMS, social, team messaging, email – and now video – all within one single interface for a simple, safe and real-time user experience.

“We are honored that our solution has been recognized as one of the best of the year,” says Ron Maayan, VP Product for Vonage. “We are committed to continuing to innovate and connect everyone via the channels that work best for them, helping them to create great employee and customer experiences.

“During times like these, when these connections mean more than ever, the ability to interact via real-time video is making all the difference.”

With Meetings, Vonage is providing businesses the tools to have conversations in the places where they’re the most productive, empowering employees to directly connect with each other and with customers, across all channels. Not only does Vonage Meetings empower businesses to increase productivity and collaboration among employees, when employees are forced to work separately or remotely, these video capabilities facilitate cross-company meetings via video conference one-on-one or across multiple locations anywhere in the world.

To address the current pressing need for a virtual work environment, Vonage’s new Business Continuity Offer enables teams to work from anywhere using the Vonage mobile or desktop application, minimizing business disruption and giving teams immediate access to the full suite of VBC capabilities.

Built using Vonage’s Video API, Vonage Meetings conference solution includes:

• Fully integrated to make life easy – One click to arrange groups from Google Calendar, VBC, or start an instant meeting from a VBC contact list.
• Ability to enable a guest option to join a video call via a browser without the need to download any software.
