Best Ways to Collaborate Online in 2021
                     BEST WAYS TO 
COLLABORATE 
ONLINE IN 2021
What is Remote 
■CTohel alcatiobn oof enrgagitngi woithn ou?r remote audience to make them feel 
like something was done.
■ How many of us really engage with our meeting participants and 
make them feel like they had a memorable experience? 
■ How many meetings do you remember from last month? If you are 
like me, everything is a gray blur, and you rarely remember anything 
that was said or done in a remote meeting. 
■ In fact, most of us forget 90% of what was said within 48 hours.
■ What are the best practices to change this? Let’s break it down.
What is the best video conferencing app?
A great meeting starts with a great video conferencing app. Here are my personal 
experiences. Every platform will give you the same basic features. Great screen 
sharing experience, good camera quality and audio. But there are differences to 
their user experience.
Zoom
Zoom is a leader in the VU\UC industry, tackling unified communications with their 
cloud platform for video, audio conferencing, collaboration, chat, and webinars 
across all endpoints.
Advantages:
■ Free version available, Easy to use interface
■ Can easily join a meeting, don’t even have to sign in
■ Really fast to open the app and get started
Disadvantages:
■ Second screen support is not strong
■ Whiteboard is weak and very basic; very hard and frustrating to use
Microsoft Teams
■ Microsoft Teams is Microsoft’s all-encompassing workstream collaboration plus 
unified communications platform – combining meetings, chats, calls, and file 
sharing with the Office 365 application stack to bring everyone together in a 
shared workspace.
Advantages:
■ Tight integration with Microsoft products 
■ Included with O365 subscription
■ Amazing support for second monitor, just drag the Teams window and create an 
audience view
Disadvantages:
■ Painfully slow to login and get started
■ No meeting ID to just join – must be authenticated to launch a meeting
■ No whiteboard mode at all
■ Presenter mode is downright awful
Google Meet
Advantages:
■ No app to install, just start a meeting using your browser
■ Free for any gmail and google user
■ Easy to use interface
■ High quality audio and video all through the browser
Disadvantages:
■ Not integrated into Outlook and other Microsoft products
■ Limited features like background subtraction and beautification filters
■ Limited options for breakout rooms and larger scale meetings
■ No presenter mode
■ No whiteboard or markup mode
■ Google Meet is a great entry level product that offers high performance and 
simplicity.
The Best Messaging App
■ A tool that requires no introduction. Slack is without doubt a mighty 
collaboration tool, with millions of users around the globe. 
■ It’s an incredibly smart platform, and you can get it on mobile and 
desktop devices. It allows for the sending of direct messages
■ Slack also integrates video calling, but this is not a feature that I use 
regularly. A lot of my customers might not be on Slack, and this 
doesn’t integrate into my meeting eco-system.
■  I think that Slack is best for internal chat and communication, and I 
use one of the standard video collaboration apps for connecting to my 
customer and share my presentation.
The best online whiteboard
Online whiteboards are great for asynchronous meetings where multiple 
people have to design and sketch out a concept over time. 
Miro
Miro is all about templates. To get started, choose from a long list of 
templates , or just start with a standard blank whiteboard. And you’re not 
limited to one template: you can add as many as you want to a board, 
using zoom and scroll to navigate through the various templates on the 
board. Then add shapes, text, and sticky notes as needed.
Mural
The Mural canvas can house multiple whiteboard areas, similar to 
Photoshop art boards, that you can rearrange and resize as needed. On 
each whiteboard, you can go with the standard blank white background, 
or choose from a variety of templates to add pre-built grids and content 
boxes for some additional structure
