While videoconferencing carts (H.323 standard definition) are supposed to be portable and easy to use, this isn’t necessarily the case. It becomes quite an inconvenience if the unit regularly needs to be set up in a room that is off its network, like the interpretation office of this study. The…
Telehealth Use Case
Early last week Lifehacker posted a story about a recent Stanford University experiment on teleworkers in a Chinese travel agency. It turns out that those who worked from home were significantly more productive (i.e. received more calls thus booked more flights) than their office-bound counterparts. To be more precise, teleworkers logged…
We were very excited to talk with the University of Southern California (USC) School of Pharmacy last week and to learn how they are using VSee. They have been using VSee to broadcast lectures into an overflow room with three 65″ HDTVs. They have set it up with the video/lecturer…
Last month Milton had a chance to tell VSee’s story to the Bay Area Nepali community and to show how it’s making a difference in developing countries.
Summary: VSee user Dr. Russell E. Brown shares how VSee has helped him successfully practice telepsychiatry. Last week I got to speak with neurologist and psychiatrist, Dr. Russell E.

Summary: An example of how a one-click Skype call improved my customer service experience, and how a VSee video call with screen-share could make it even better. Yesterday afternoon, after discovering that my tires had been slashed, I was online trying to figure out if my insurance policy would cover…
Here is a link is to a video I made of a Primerica agent who swears by Ring (powered by VSee). This was at the Primerica show a few weeks ago. If you fast forward to about 6:00 min, he does 1:45 min story on how he showed an elderly, reluctant…
On Friday, I wrote about a social networking project, Commkit, that some VSee people are involved in, and I just wanted to share this video screen capture of i-Act co-founder and director, Gabriel Stauring, talking about the life-changing impact this social networking access has had on the children in the…
At VSee we have several people who are passionate about improving the situation of refugees around the world. They volunteer their time, knowledge, and resources to make a difference in the lives of refugees. In the past VSee has taken a very active role in supporting the cause, so in…
Over the last few weeks of working at VSee, I’ve been realizing that VSee is more than just a videoconferencing tool. It’s a video collaboration tool. Of course, it can do the things that videoconferencing does, but on a much more dynamic and work-friendly scale. It’s the difference between a…
One of the big successes in videoconferencing has been its use in judicial courts. The federal courts have long been using the technology for such things as arraignments, bail hearings, post-conviction hearings, and appellate court arguments. Washington and Lee University Law school faculty Aaron Haas notes that in 1972 an…
I love it when people do cool things with VSee – like hatching baby chicks 🙂 The Hickman Mills School District in Kansas City, MO, has begun using VSee to do everything from staff meetings to school announcements. But the most enjoyable use was for connecting one class project with…
In their study of casual work interactions, Whittaker et al. (1994) concluded that coordination works best among people who are physically located in the same place because they have more opportunities to find others who are available to talk. Let’s face it, as much as we love Facebook and Twitter,…
