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.

Question on: Microsoft Teams
Is there a way to mute notifcations?
I would love the ability to mute notifications on reams meetings, the amount of notifications you get when someone replies to a message chain can be super annoying and distracting.
If you go to "Channel notifications" in your settings, you can adjust notifications (and turn most of them off).
Settings notifications gives you a lot of control over the type of notification as well as when they are allowed
Setting your status to "Do Not Disturb" will mute all notifications. For each channel in Teams, you can modify which notifications you get (click the 3 dots next to the channel name, go to "Channel Notifications", and adjust). If you mean thread-specific, like "Mute the conversation started an hour ago", I'm not aware of that option.
You have to click on your profile, Go on Settings -> Notifications -> will give you multiple options to mute notifications.
If you are using Teams on an iPhone, navigate to Settings, Notifications, Teams and then select teams and turn it off by tapping the slider.
Here is the Solution:
Top right corner -> Select your image(round circle) -> Settings -> Notifications -> Disable Appearance and Sound
These are all very good options in Teams. You do have control on all notifications.

The global pandemic has forced many businesses to quickly transition to a remote work format. This has created an environment of uncertainty for companies looking to maintain productivity, keep their teams connected, provide a high level of service to customers and continue to bring in revenue. I’m here to answer your questions about the software that can help you and your team navigate these challenges and come out stronger on the other side. Some topics to think about as you evaluate your company’s preparedness are: collaboration between employees and with partners; maintaining connected, motivated and productive employees; cybersecurity for a remote workforce; maintaining data privacy; delivering services to customers remotely and creating the best customer experience possible. A little bit about me: I'm a 25+ year technology executive with a diverse background in business software that includes experience as a software company executive and leading a premier market research team. I focus on emerging trends in business software and how businesses can use technology to grow their competitive edge.
How does the education sector fit in to your immediate and longterm mission/vision as a company? It seems as though you are geared toward the business sector exclusively, yet many educators (myself included) have turned to your platform to facilitate online learning and staying connected with students as well as colleagues for both social and educational support. We appreciate the ability to do this, but wonder if you will continue to allow and even perhaps develop the education side.
This is the first recession my company will live through. With your experience you must have helped lead your team through the 2008 nightmare. What advice do you have for how to set ourselves up for success for when COVID isn't our biggest problem, but the resulting economy is?
As a software review site, you must be seeing a lot of people coming to your website right now. What are people searching for the most? Any surprises?
What added security measures do you recommend with increased virtual, cloud and remote platforms being used across the board?
Since collaboration is necessary in all times, now due the distance and hesitation, the human interaction and open_ness is under pressure.
A roadmap with possibe collaboration tools (like the cusumers tests) can guide the less experienced remote workers to collaborate.
Are there any?
I have just received structure of this kind how and where can `I share it. The tools (programs) are left out. Can you of members of the G2 dreamteam join me filling it in?
Is there a software company that has everything (or close to everything) needed to help, say a small furniture store, go paperless? Includes marketing, bookkeeping, scheduling, and off-site visits for service team members?
Choosing on tools with respect of the pogram of demands.... is the thing.
A list of pro's nd contra's as well as do's and don'ts will facilitate teamdiscussions and hopefully end them quickly and bring the to a practical solution.
How does your team deal with this?
And others?
I would to introduce the topic of disruptive leadership and working safe and respected.
Are there examples of it and the opposite (best practices)?
Where should I look for literature on this aspect of remote collaboration.
I work in the IT Staff industry. How can we sell in times of crisis?
What are you doing at G2 to motivate your sales people?
Have you heard about 5G? Is it real and did the government sign this into order to put 5G into the schoools and other various places??
Hi Michael,
I want to start off with complimenting you. This is a great initiative and in such times of crisis, I truly appreciate this effort.
I have 2 major problem questions I'm trying to solve.
1. How do I have a workflow set in Slack in conjunction with Jira where when a team member places a request in Slack, the workflow automatically creates a Jira ticket?
2. How can I create a Gnatt chart view in Google Sheets. The source data should be a workflow from Jira. The start date and end date on the Jira epics are the dates for Gnatt Chart view.
Hoping I can get these answered or to be pointed in the right direction to work with someone who has these problems solved.
Thank you,
Jhanjhri (JJ)
At any point in time it is more than helpful to have technology and skills ready to substitute your current setting in order to continue business professionally.
It has never been so easy with OpenSource, virtualization, apiHubs...
Printing has dual machine set ups, space and air vessels have quadruple setups, power plants and hospitals... (Swiss Cheese hole principle of redundant security)

What advice do you have for people trying to lead a team through this time? I want to make sure everyone is staying productive and on top of things, but also want to leave space for the anxiety that is top of everyone's mind right now.
How do we evaluate and commit to a software during a time that could be very different in 2 months. We have been looking at a couple different tools and want to go all in on them, but also want to be cost effective in the understanding that we might not have to be remote from each other for longer than a couple months.
Do you think we will ever return to our "normal"? If not, what do you think will the new "normal" look like when we come out on the other side? Thank you!

Question on: Google Workspace
"Do you integrate Google Hangouts Meet with any other software?" Is it possible to integrate to Google sheets for attendance.
?
Yes !! It is a very simple process ... just share the sheet have them type name in -- just like passing around a sheet of paper to sign in
Now if you want to go more advanced, say track all of my students or peers who are in attendance by their screen name etc -- that s a much more complex idea and not easily solved without advanced programming
Yes.....
The star feature of Google+, Google Hangouts, is now integrating fully with Google's online suite of document, presentation and spreadsheet editing software, Google Docs. ... To start your own Doc inside of a hangout simply: Click on the Docs button. Add an existing document, or upload a new one.
Integrating with some software I have never done and I think it is not possible. By having the meeting through Google Meet, you can share your screen so that other people can see the document and work as a team in this way.
Hi , I have not integrated with any other software.
Yes, you can use the Google Meet Attendance chrome extension which will save your attendance in a Google Sheet.
