Video conferences supplement telephone calls with video media, mostly camera and screen content (desktop sharing) of the participants. This makes meetings livelier and employees more engaged than with conventional conference calls. Having video enabled during a call changes the feel and etiquette of the meeting. Attendees can see and be seen, making them less likely to switch off or multitask. Rather, tend to maintain virtual eye contact. The feeling of distance is removed and closer (customer) relationships can be maintained.

Hard codec vs. cloud solutions
Hardware codecs have been used as standards-based (H.323 protocol and now SIP) endpoints for video calls for many years. These "hard codecs" have always been fairly expensive systems that rely on very expensive back-end infrastructure servers. These systems work stably and reliably, but in addition to the high acquisition costs, they also require a lot of maintenance.
A soft client or cloud solution is a hardware-independent software solution that runs on user devices (notebooks/tablets) or room PCs/tablets (Microsoft Windows or MAC OS) and is connected either via a cloud service or with its own servers (on-premise) with the back- end infrastructure connects. Examples of such applications are Microsoft Teams, Skype for Business, Cisco WebEx, Google Hangouts, Zoom etc.
