We couldn\u2019t design and build these apps without the vision and expertise of people like Malleswari, the <\/span><b>Development Team Lead<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/anywhere.app\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">anywhere.app<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Malleswari joined us from Chennai over Teleport, to discuss how video conferencing and screen share have increased productivity within engineering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From boosting collaboration across time zones, to streamlining the process to identify and fix bugs, Teleport has countless benefits for our engineers. Here are just a few!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Collaborate and build from Anywhere<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For starters, Malleswari, tell us what you\u2019re responsible for. \u201cMy role is to handle the functional process of application, take part in artificial discussions and collaborate with team members to get things done!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Building a product or website is by no means a simple feat. Slight hiccups in code or ambiguity in a functional requirements could hinder progress, setting back a launch or improvements to your product. What does that add up to? A negative user experience. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is why efficient communication is vital to the development team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AnywhereWorks\u2019 engineers work from, well, Anywhere! Malleswari\u2019s team is <\/span><b>distributed around the world<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but they\u2019ve found video calling helps <\/span><b>reduce miscommunications<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and has greatly <\/span><b>improved their workflow.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-197\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/teleport-testimonials\/1\/2020\/05\/Malleswari-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"511\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/teleport-testimonials\/1\/2020\/05\/Malleswari-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/teleport-testimonials\/1\/2020\/05\/Malleswari-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/teleport-testimonials\/1\/2020\/05\/Malleswari-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/teleport-testimonials\/1\/2020\/05\/Malleswari-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/teleport-testimonials\/1\/2020\/05\/Malleswari-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/teleport-testimonials\/1\/2020\/05\/Malleswari-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/teleport-testimonials\/1\/2020\/05\/Malleswari-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 511px) 100vw, 511px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI don&#8217;t find any difficulty working remotely as the tools we use enable us to create a virtual office,\u201d begins anywhere.app\u2019s Team Lead. \u201cI use Teleport every day to connect with my team. Part of my role is to communicate and collaborate with many team members and to keep track of the committed goals. We use Teleport for every meeting &#8211; as short as daily check-in meetings and as long as planning meetings for our sprints.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Share screens to assess and edit code<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/teleport.video\/sharescreen\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ShareScreen<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is one of Malleswari\u2019s favourite features of Teleport, as it enables her team to <\/span><b>review code right within a call<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There\u2019s no need for screenshots <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or lengthy DM threads <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that might not get your point across. Instead, an engineer can share their screen and guide teammates through code in real-time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEmails, direct messages or phone calls are very lengthy and it takes time to resolve issues,\u201d Malleswari offers. \u201cThere is big scope for misunderstanding as there is no visibility. But, with video calling, you can <\/span><b>make things transparent <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and help <\/span><b>convey a clear intention<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teams can have face-to-face discussions in one click and when sharing their screen, the <\/span><b>speaker remains visible<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cScreen sharing is one of the best features of Teleport, especially when we do pair programming or debug any critical issues. It just feels like we are sitting next to each other and solving the problem,\u201d the engineering professional tells us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI explain the flow, I screen share and then point out \u2018These are the things that I wanted to show you.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Easy onboarding, accessible training<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AnywhereWorks\u2019 distributed team structure enables us to hire the best, not just the nearest. Teleport makes it easy to connect with outstanding candidates around the world, who can use the app to collaborate online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Malleswari appreciates the participant grid layout of Teleport meetings: \u201cIt gives us the ability to have eye contact, just like face-to-face meetings.\u201d This helps her team offer more personalised onboarding and training to newbies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teleport keeps things human. Onboarding is seamless as new-hires can meet their team, ask questions and <\/span><b>set-up from the comfort of their home offices<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (or sofas &#8211; we don\u2019t judge <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/teleport.video\/telecast\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ShareScreen<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> makes it straightforward for Senior Developers to walk new employees through preferred systems, and allows them to give presentations for <\/span><b>up to 25 people in one session.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-198\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/teleport-testimonials\/1\/2020\/05\/TrainingAnywhere-1024x497.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"511\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/teleport-testimonials\/1\/2020\/05\/TrainingAnywhere-1024x497.png 1024w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/teleport-testimonials\/1\/2020\/05\/TrainingAnywhere-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/teleport-testimonials\/1\/2020\/05\/TrainingAnywhere-768x372.png 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/teleport-testimonials\/1\/2020\/05\/TrainingAnywhere-1536x745.png 1536w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/teleport-testimonials\/1\/2020\/05\/TrainingAnywhere-945x458.png 945w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/teleport-testimonials\/1\/2020\/05\/TrainingAnywhere-600x291.png 600w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/teleport-testimonials\/1\/2020\/05\/TrainingAnywhere.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 511px) 100vw, 511px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teleport <\/span><b>opens training globally<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as trainers and participants have no need to travel. \u201cAt times we have Junior Engineers, and in office, we could sit next to them and explain things,\u201d anywhere.app\u2019s Team Lead shares. \u201cUsing Teleport gives us the same feel. We just get on a call and explain.\u201d No commute, no need to crowd around a desk &#8211; learning becomes accessible Anywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Malleswari adds that video calling with screen sharing can increase understanding over conventional office training, as <\/span><b>sessions can be recorded<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and enhance participants\u2019 notes. This is particularly useful for <\/span><b>technical tutorials<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as instructions are made clearer with examples.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Resolve technical issues face-to-face<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teleport online video conferencing makes it easy to interact with anyone, from Anywhere. Malleswari appreciates knowing that her entire team is only one click away: \u201cTeleport is <\/span><b>easy to access<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. We just have to share the link inside our group chat and people will join immediately.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether working on solutions with other developers, designers or the wider team, the Team Lead for anywhere.app finds Teleport invaluable. \u201cLong texts and conversations often delay and make things difficult to understand. That&#8217;s the reason we default to video calls via Teleport. That way, things are clearly conveyed and it <\/span><b>saves us a lot of time<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Teleport makes our jobs much easier!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To create user-friendly app features, she continues, \u201cI use Teleport to communicate with designers. If we have any discrepancies, we resolve them by having a call. I can <\/span><b>better explain functionality<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and transfer that knowledge to have better designs.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Fix bugs faster with screen recordings<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Malleswari\u2019s top priority is ensuring anywhere.app runs smoothly for the user. We may be a little biased, but believe us, it works like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a dream<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, every developer knows this is only accomplished through <\/span><b>proper testing.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/3orif1OJHKEwAALZrW\/giphy.gif\" width=\"511\" height=\"389\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cScreen recording is very helpful to highlight bugs or issues,\u201d the Team Lead tells us. \u201cIf I want to convey something I just have to <\/span><b>record the screen and send it over<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s easy for our Quality Analysts to find out what is happening with that particular scenario. I screen record at least 10 to 15 times a day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a quick way of saying, \u2018Hey, this is what we found. Let\u2019s figure this out.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf I find an app is not working properly, I don&#8217;t have to make them wait for a call. It is very useful in terms of expressing our concerns to other teams.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s easy to share your feedback video. Send it over email, chat, DM or drop the file into Trello. No fuss.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>\u2026And, it\u2019s secure<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When developing a brand-new product, it\u2019s imperative that you discuss the build in a private setting. Working from Anywhere is flexible and convenient for engineering teams, but security is a concern for every business. That\u2019s why Teleport introduced the <\/span><b>Lock Room<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> feature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/cKKXNlTYino7hWNXwl\/giphy.gif\" width=\"511\" height=\"384\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf we want to have some <\/span><b>confidential discussions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Teleport, we can let everyone join and then lock the room,\u201d Malleswari explains. \u201cSomeone can&#8217;t join until they request and the admin of the room accepts it. We can have privacy as well as accessibility &#8211; both in Teleport.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Malleswari\u2019s team can <\/span><b>share files securely <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and live chat during video calls, making it even simpler to progress their projects. Simple and secure &#8211; words Teleport lives by.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Take the limits off team collaboration<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFace-to-face connection is important for almost any industry,\u201d begins Malleswari. In the midst of the current crisis of Covid-19, she adds, \u201cWith tough times like this, where we cannot meet people personally, the power of video calling helps everyone to have that connection, virtually.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teleport has enabled the Development team at AnywhereWorks to collaborate from the furthest parts of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, Malleswari, what\u2019s the single biggest reason you\u2019d recommend Teleport to developers? \u201cIt&#8217;s very simple to use. You\u2019re just one click away. You <\/span><b>create a link, share it with people and in a second you connect<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When things are easy, people will adopt them.\u201d Hey, no arguments from us!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s impossible for business leaders not to wonder when their teams can return to the office. However, working from home doesn\u2019t need to be a temporary option, especially if your people appreciate the flexibility and stay productive. Malleswari concludes, \u201cThe right tools make Anywhere possible. You must have the right tools for communicating, video calling and keeping your people engaged. Whoever is considering working from home &#8211; choose the right tools &#8211; then working Anywhere feels like being in office.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/teleport.video\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teleport<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is available now on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/teleport-video\/id1331488862\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">App Store<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.anywhere.link\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
