10 Software Categories in High Demand to Support Remote Work
Throughout my time at G2, traffic patterns on G2.com category pages have been one of the most significant data points to monitor. Time and again, the changes in those patterns have proven a good indicator of emerging trends and a strong reflection of change in software markets. The current global crisis caused by COVID-19 is, unsurprisingly, creating a large shift to tools that support remote work.

Hi Willie,
This is Shaun from G2. I’m a research analyst focused on education industry software. Thanks for your question about Zoom and security.
Without knowing more specifically what security enhancements you have in mind, I would recommend taking a look at the range of built-in security features Zoom offers (detailed here: https://zoom.us/security), including end-to-end encryption for meetings and chats. Meetings are encrypted by default, but you may want to check your Zoom settings to ensure chats are encrypted as well. Zoom has many more helpful details about security in the link above and in a white paper you can download on that page.
Hope that helps, and thanks for the work that you do every day.
Regards,
Shaun Bishop

Question on: Zoom Workplace

The stream will always depend on your internet speed. Also, if your viewers/students, do not have a stable connection, the zoom meeting will keep adjusting the video settings.

Since you can screen share any screen attached to your PC ensure that you use a high res screen as the one you share

I would suggest using an ethernet connection instead of WiFi if you're having trouble and if that is possible. Ethernet direct connection is always better.

I have shared my desktop and videos with every class since mid-March and when I playback the videos, I do not observe any quality loss. It is possible that there may be some erosion if users have a weak internet connection.

Question on: Webex Suite
Is there a method for taking and saving private notes within Webex Meetings?
As I user, I would like the ability to take private notes regarding matters discussed on a call within the system without sharing those notes with other attendees. These notes would then be accessible within my account in the future. I understand recording is possible, but there are times where call length makes it inconvenient to go back through content to retrieve certain information.

Learn how to manage the notes from your meetings and how to designate a participant to be a note taker or closed captionist.
There are some things to keep in mind before you start managing and taking notes:
If all participants are allowed to take notes, they cannot publish their notes to others during the meeting, but they can save them.
A single note taker can publish notes at any time during the meeting or can send a meeting transcript to all participants.
A closed captionist can publish captions in real time during the meeting and can also send a transcript containing the captions to all participants.
The notes feature is not available on the Mac.

The Notes panel is not as easy to find as Chat. You can find Notes under the "More Options" button when in a meeting. Like Ron S. mentioned, you can save those to your computer anytime, but it should ask whether you want to save your Notes before leaving or ending a meeting as well.

If the meeting host or presenter has selected the option to allow participants to take personal notes, you can type your notes on the Notes panel in the meeting window

Additionally, you can also do the same thing with whiteboards, but the instructor/host has to allow permissions for users to be able to save. Otherwise the instructor can just download the whiteboard and email it.
Alternate strategy is designating a note taker. Designate a note taker
If the single note taker or closed captions option is set for a meeting, you can designate any participant or closed captionist to be the note taker. When scheduling a meeting, you can set the notes option, or a presenter can set the notes option during a meeting.
Step 1 On the Participants panel, select the participant you want to designate as note taker.
Step 2 Change their role as follows:
Windows: Right-click and then select Change Role To > Note Taker.
Mac: Select ctrl and then click; then select Change Role To > Note Taker.
A pencil indicator appears to the right of the participant's name in the participant list.
Note If you select another note taker or closed captionist, any notes or closed captions that the previous note taker or closed captionist published remain on each participant's Notes or Closed Caption panel. However, the new note taker or closed captionist cannot edit the existing notes or closed captions.
Manage and Take Notes
During a meeting, one or more meeting participants with access to the notes feature can take notes on the Notes or Closed Caption panel in the Meeting window. Only one participant performs closed captioning.
If all participants are allowed to take notes, they cannot publish their notes to others during the meeting. However, participants can save their notes at any time during the meeting.
The meeting host can select the single note taker during the meeting. A single note taker can publish notes at any time during the meeting or send a meeting transcript containing the notes to all participants.
If needed, the host can also select a closed captionist. A closed captionist can publish captions in real-time during the meeting and can also send a transcript containing the captions to all participants.
