Online communication is not new to the PicCollage team — we’ve supported remote work since before the pandemic, allowing members to work flexibly from different places worldwide. We believe that talent is everywhere & we love to enrich our company by hiring employees with diverse backgrounds. As a result, we’re familiar with almost all of the online video conferencing tools that help us communicate with one another regardless of our location.
Besides the basic features — screen sharing, chat, screen recording, and polls — one feature that we always use in our virtual meetings is the breakout room. This feature allows users to create smaller meetings within the main meeting where users are “broken out” into smaller groups to discuss a specific subject. At PicCollage, we use breakout rooms all the time — our weekly team meetings & demos, project & function syncs, daily standup, free discussions, 1:1 coaching chats, and external events like interviews & online mixers.
