In the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, the need of coworking communities that bring people together is stronger than ever. The coworking industry won’t be the same from now on. For the last several weeks, countless operators asked us for advice on how to engage their coworking community online.
In this context, being adaptive in terms of communication and using the proper coworking apps could be key to succeeding.
To further our attempts of helping with this challenge, we’ve integrated a video conference infrastructure. It’s integrated directly into our Web Member Portal. Your members just need to login to the OfficeRnD web member portal and voilà! They can start chatting to their fellow coworkers.
Brought to you with the help of Jitsi (read more about them below), this feature aims to help coworking and flex spaces bring their online community closer together.
Once this feature is activated, a new page will appear in your Member Portal. The page is called Video Rooms (alternative names are supported). This page will be the doorway to the “Video Rooms” you’ve decided to create for your online community. In each room, your members can chat, hang out, ask you questions, or anything of the sort that comes to your mind.
Please note, that because of limitation introduced by Jitsi, the current version of the feature works on desktop browsers and it does NOT work on mobile browsers (i.e. members that open the Web Portal on mobile or the Mobile App).
Below we’ve put together a few ideas on how you can use Video Rooms, but please share the way you’re using it to help us improve it in a meaningful way.
If you’d like us to activate Video Rooms for you, just send us an email at [email protected] and make sure to include in it the following information:
This is our first stab of enabling video conferencing directly in our Member Apps. We thought of numerous applications of this and all of them sound exciting. But we’ll need your help to figure out which ones bring the most value so we can hone in on them.
You can submit your feedback through our standard support channels ([email protected]) or directly in our dedicated topic for Video Rooms in our community portal.
Jitsi is a completely free and secure videoconferencing solution. The platform is used as a preferred tech infrastructure solution by giant corporations like Comcast. You can learn more about them at https://jitsi.org/.
