Zurich February 3, 2021 – Companies and their employees are struggling to adjust to working from home. Daily social interactions such as coffee-breaks, lunch dates or a chat in the hallway were all eradicated by the pandemic. Work related video calls are now part of the daily routine, yet they are not a straightforward replacement for all usual social interactions.
“AirConsole Meet brings social play to video calls. The games allow teams to bond together as if they were in the same room. A fun activity with the team is especially welcomed these days by all our employees,” says Andrin von Rechenberg, CEO of AirConsole.
Using cloud technology, AirConsole Meet Games allows users to play AirConsole on video calls with Zoom, Meet & Teams using screen sharing. The host of the meeting opens meet.airconsole.com on their computer and shares their screen in the call. Each participant of the meeting uses their smartphones to control the game that is running in the video conference, whilst still being able to see everyone’s faces and share their emotions. With screen sharing enabled, it’s easy to play AirConsole on video calls — no installation or downloads needed.
There are over a dozen games to play AirConsole on video calls including social quizzes that test how well you know your colleagues, drawing games that usually end up in laughter and team-building adventure games that require a lot of cooperation. You can also create your own corporate trivia game, which is a great method to engage your team in a playful way after an online presentation.
“Being close to teams, onboarding new staff and nurturing company culture are real challenges in these rough times. We are hoping to bond teams together across the globe with AirConsole Meet. It has worked remarkably well for us and quickly became an integral part of our team calls and company wide virtual gatherings.” says Anthony Cliquot, COO of AirConsole.
As work-from-home continues, the ability to play AirConsole on video calls offers a fun, accessible way to stay socially connected.
During the early access phase, AirConsole Meet is completely free of charge and instantly accessible on meet.airconsole.com.
