As more and more workplaces transition to being remote working, Meetings have moved entirely online, which means we’re attending a lot of video conference calls

Due to this paradigm shift, the traditional method of collaborating on documents is cumbersome and ineffective as most people are remote today. In this virtual world communicating with the stakeholders on a project document will take hours /days to bring things into place.

The collaboration on a document is important because it increases overall employee engagement, realtime updates, better information access, more effective cross-function team collaboration, quick editing, and better brainstorming.

Thanks to the thousands of online tools and apps available through the internet, it is now easier than ever to collaborate with the team anywhere in the world. When used in conjunction with video conferencing, two tools, in particular, are especially useful for remote collaboration: screen sharing and document sharing.

Screen Sharing on a video conference helps you to display a document or your plans with colleagues or clients. Rather than uploading, sending, or downloading the files for others to see, screen sharing provides an easy way to present in real-time during online meetings.

Document sharing is providing access to the document in a shared drive and allowing the participants to share their ideas on the documents. This involves internal team members to collaborate and provide inputs to the document. So everyone will be on the same page.

The most popular online collaboration tools including Google Docs, Dropbox, and platforms like Office 365, these tools provide robust online collaboration on document sharing.

With these tools around, we will be able to create and share documents with your clients efficiently with all the stakeholders engaged, avoiding unnecessary delays in juggling emails.

Mongrov provides a full host of online tools and features such as video conferencing, screen sharing, and document sharing that allow you and your teammates to be on the same page without being in the same room
