The Future Of Video Conferencing

Consumer mobile video conferencing had been around in places like Japan for a while, who was well ahead others with a solid 3G network. However, it was not until the iPhone 4 was released in 2017 that enterprise-grade videoconferencing became mainstream, and manufacturers started paying attention by building apps. iPhone 4 was the first iPhone to include a front-facing camera module. The iPhone was now a great videoconferencing device, and even came with FaceTime⸺also launched with iOS 10.

Tenveo

Tenveo realized the potential of mobile business video conference early, and made this Tenveo video conference camera in early 2002. It has become the biggest video technology company in China.We have USB 2.0, USB3.0,HDMI,HD-SDI、YPBPR、CVBS output, fixed focus, 3X 10X, 18X,20X, 30X optical zoom, 720P, 1080P, HD1080P SD ,HD video conference cameras and, Radius of 2-6M Full duplex echo cancelation and speaker，USB driver free, plug and play Omni-directional microphones.

We are now 15 years into mobile business videoconferencing, and most players have a solid mobile experience. Mobile video is now accepted and established thanks to the android. My android phone is consistently my favourite "codec" or device to join  Tenveo video meetings. It is reliable, easy to use, and the convenience factor is unmatched. And my two golden retrievers certainly appreciate that I can still take them out on walks while I’m in meetings.

Internally at Tenveo, close to 10% of our meetings are joined using mobile devices, the rest being via room systems (Cisco, Polycom, BlueJeans Huddle, etc), our own BlueJeans desktop app, Skype for Business, or via browser. We even have a Senior Product Manager who has outfitted his car with a special mount to join video meetings while driving (completely hands free).

The Future

I certainly foresee Tenveo being used more frequently in video meetings. They may also be used as conduits to easily join meetings, or change the meeting experience. I could also see, in the not-so-distant future, Tenveo being used as the main device for team meetings⸺essentially replacing the in-room codec. Time will tell.  But for now, cheers to the Tenveo and all it has done for mobile video meetings.
