At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, most organizations adopted hybrid working models and work-from-home approaches to contain the further spread of the virus. Consequently, video conferencing tools such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and others became crucial to promote effective and efficient communication within organizations.

Since then, most organizations have switched to remote work as part of their overall plan to reduce operational costs. And as luck would have it, X (formerly Twitter) appears to be joining the fray.
