High-Impact Video Call Tools

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Around Allows Remote Users to Stay in Touch Without Juggling Tabs

— March 30, 2020 — Tech
Around, developed by Dominik Zane, is a high-impact video call tool that allows coworkers to stay in-touch without dedicating an entire screen to a meeting. The software crops participants to small circles that float around your screen as needed to allow room for other tools like documents, presentations, and more. In addition, it's auto-zoom and noise-canceling capabilities ensures your team can focus on what's important instead of distracting background complications.

Around CEO Dominik Zane, discusses his motivation for creating the revolutionary video chat call. He states: “Traditional videoconferencing tries to maximize visual presence. But too much presence gets in the way of your work. People want to make eye contact. They want to connect. But they also want to get stuff done. Around treats video as the means to an end, not the end in itself.”
