Bringing Everyone Together This Holiday Season
The holiday season is a time for connection—for sharing moments with family, friends, and loved ones, whether across the table or across the miles. At Boom, connection isn’t just something we focus on during the holidays; it’s at the heart of everything we do, all year long.
In today’s world, video calls have become an integral part of how we communicate. The pandemic may have accelerated this shift, but what’s clear now is that virtual meetings are here to stay. Whether it’s for work or for play, we believe every meeting—big or small—deserves to feel natural, seamless, and human.
The Importance of Presence
Communication is about more than just words. It’s about presence—how we show up, how we engage, and how we connect with others. A smile, a glance, or even a nod can build rapport and trust in ways that transcend spoken language. In the virtual space, body language and eye contact remain powerful tools for fostering meaningful interactions, yet they can be easily overlooked without the right tools and mindset.
Our own research and ongoing conversations with our partners reveal some key insights:
-
Around 50% of people worry about how they look on video calls.
-
Nearly 60% feel more self-aware in virtual meetings.
-
Almost everyone admits to multitasking during meetings.
-
Approximately 40% report hardware or software issues that impact video and audio quality.
These challenges remind us that for virtual meetings to be truly effective, the experience must be intuitive, reliable, and seamless.
Elevating the Virtual Meeting Experience
At Boom, we’re committed to making meetings better—simply. Quality matters, and so does ease of use. The right hardware—like 4K cameras, clear audio systems, and user-friendly technology—ensures that people can be seen and heard, as naturally and professionally as possible. Features like cameras positioned at eye level or clear audio pickup aren’t just technical considerations; they’re essential for enabling genuine human connection in a digital world.
As technology continues to evolve, we see a future where video meetings match—or even surpass—the clarity and comfort of in-person conversations. High-quality visuals, immersive audio, and smarter tools will transform how we work, teach, sell, and collaborate.
Connection: The Greatest Gift
This holiday season, whether you’re gathering in person or virtually, we hope you find time to connect and create meaningful moments. Connection has always been the greatest gift we can share—and it’s one we’re proud to help facilitate, year after year.
From all of us at Boom, we wish you a joyful, peaceful, and connected holiday season.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from everyone at Boom
