Hello folks, welcome back to the Keep productive YouTube channel in today's video what I'll be doing is touching on three tools
That might be helpful as a remote worker now as you can imagine a lot of people going remote right now
I'm going to talk about two were one tool that's coming soon
One tool that is currently available and another one that you could potentially use. There has some video conferencing software in it
So the first one is one then I actually thought initially might have been a joke
I thought sure why I thought it would be a joke
But essentially it's like video calls inside these small little bubbles in your screen
Essentially, it removes any like unnecessary stuff in the background
so in this case if I was doing a video call it block out all the Hoover and everything else and
What it does is it apparently uses an AI camera framing and it follows you while you move around
Apparently it also has Auto
Mute, so you've got no dog barking or washing machines going around. Let's watch the preview video and see what it's all about
A new workspace isn't a place. It's a way of life. It's fluid
I feel like God is gonna walk in through the window
About work and the beginning of meetings to actually do the work
Because now there's a whole new way for teams to do it
An open laptop and an open mind
That's quite cool so you have like a floating room and just a room where you can chat where your heads are instead
And with multiple laptops in the same space the audio automatically works with no echo or feedback
Huh
It definitely felt like they made this video for lockdown I don't a
Deep emotional moment
Get around okay, so the concept is quite cool
and apparently they have no team setup required so you can just send a link to
Someone and it just creates the meeting for them automatically
So that would be quite good especially if you're trying to bring on a guest
They also have something called echo Terminator engine which means multiple laptops and microphones mean that there's no echo
they will be available for Mac Linux Windows web and also chrome and edge apparently and
You would be able to have up to 15 people in here. You can also screen share and it's slack ready
Apparently this has already been on producthunt guys. It's actually topped product ton. And it looks like they're quite an interesting bet
Now as part of that there was like a small obviously
Focus on the microphone and of course, that's a huge problem when you're trying to work people walking around
Or you know the washing machine like they said is a typical thing that happens, especially even when I'm recording
Sometimes there'll be things in the background that will annoy me
There's a tool called crisp which I check out a fair while go called
it's basically a noise cancelling tool you can plug-in on on Mac Windows Chrome in the iOS apparently and
It basically just removes any unnecessary noise in the background so that it just sounds like you are actually in the room
And nobody else so it works in coffee shops. I believe I tried in coffee shops
There's actual secret spin action thing on the website, which is quite cool if you're in a coffee shop and yeah
I'm pretty sure it tried it in a local coffee shop
And it was pretty impressive
and I was actually
Trying it coming from a perspective trying to record whilst in a coffee shop
So I don't know whether that would be of any use so that one won a golden key
2018 and they've been growing rapidly
So maybe that's something of interest you guys call crisp and noise canceling app
The third app I want to talk about is task aid. And for those who don't know
TAS gala is a pretty cool to do list application sort of like
notion
blend between notion and to do is say
But it has a video calling tool inside of it
And what's good is you can invite unlimited members and guests and guests can even get involved in the video call
Which means if you invite them to that page they can get started - now I actually tried this in a video with Joel
And he demonstrated it with me and it worked pretty well. There seemed to be no hiccups were there major hiccups anyway, and
It was quite decent
You know whilst at work
So guys the the sort of remote landscape I can imagine will be improving over the next couple of weeks
And as you can imagine it's just a matter of time and improvement where people find these issues
I'm very bullish on checking out around and I probably will do a review on it. The main reason is because
It looks pretty lightweight and you don't have to install anything and also really liked that concept of like circles
not just like
Interrupting and sort of seeing the whole landscape that you're in, you know
Won't necessarily put you allowing you to be in your sort of PJs, but it'll give you a bit of a head start
so guys hopefully that was useful my dear video in a minute about some
Remote work memes but hopefully that was useful for you. Check out all the apps. They'll be below
But thanks very much and I'll see you all very soon. So they say
