Digital tools for video conferences, lectures, consultations

An overview of digital tools for synchronous video communication shows that there is no universal solution that would be equally suitable for all institutions and contexts. Zoom and Microsoft Teams stand out as robust and functionally rich systems, while BigBlueButton offers solutions specially adapted to the needs of education. Google Meet attracts with its simplicity and integration with Google services, and Jitsi Meet stands out for its openness and the possibility of complete data control.

It is crucial for higher education institutions to assess their own resources, technical capacities, and pedagogical goals to select the tool that best supports their teaching and research. This ensures not only technical functionality, but also the quality of academic interaction in the digital environment.
