Companies around the world are raising concerns over the COVID-19 virus spread, and it’s evident that most employees are encouraged to work remotely as long as they can ensure the workload. Whilst such plans seem to bring employees a better way to prevent themselves from potential threats, not many come with the effectiveness of sorts, especially when one needs to coordinate with another extensively. Here’re top “communication” apps for work as confirmed by many users.

Skype for Business

Available on: PC, laptop, smartphone, tablet (with popular operating systems).

Skype takes over the first-ranking spot when it comes to the most popular apps in the office environment. In a word, not only does the app let people send text/image messages or make video calls seamlessly but it also enables them to share messages across different chat boxes, upload files and find them easily.

Significant features of Skype for Business include the ability to create instant messaging/video conversations and initiate an online conference, not to mention a bunch of controls in tow.

Google Hangouts

Available on: PC, laptop, smartphone, tablet (with popular operating systems).

Google Hangouts is already made available to most Android-running devices. This Google-backed service requires you to sign in with Google/Gmail existing credentials or sign up for a new account. The app basically offers free voice and video calls in a group chat of up to 150 people. Additionally, you can sync office contacts and chat history via any device without hassles.

ZOOM Cloud Meetings

Available on: PC, laptop, smartphone, tablet (with popular operating systems).

The ZOOM Cloud Meetings app is also available in the form of a plugin for Microsoft Outlook and extensions for browsers like Google Chrome or Firefox. The company can take advantage of this app to establish a 100-person meeting for free.

Those are a few apps for your telework amid the COVID-19 outbreak. Stay productive and remember to keep yourself healthy, too!
