Social Chatter: Social Media Marketing Talk Show - Episode 243 Facebook Workplace Video Rooms For Drop-In Meetings In Facebook news, they launched Facebook Workplace Video Rooms along with new features to better serve businesses. These include: Drop-in video Rooms, Work Groups, informal Groups for co-workers, along with Oculus for Business, an enterprise-focused version of its virtual reality headset. Facebook Workplace video rooms are similar to Messenger Rooms. Designed for the Enterprise, Workplace video rooms will allow you to bring together your employees over video within the Facebook ecosystem. Why Facebook Workplace Video Rooms Matter For Your Business Chances are, your business is already paying for video chat tools, such as Zoom, WebEx or BlueJeans. If you are already part of the Facebook ecosystem within your company and using Facebook Workplace, it makes sense to consider consolidating and to use Facebook Workplace video rooms. For starters, you get Facebook's reliability. Next, if your business is paying for multiple tools, you can potentially reduce your overall cost for each employee. Additionally, one thing we like about using Facebook Workplace video rooms is that you know they integrate. We often come across companies that have band-aided solutions to try and get them to work. They sometimes do, albeit for a short while until a software update comes out. By working with Facebook, you end up with a streamlined solution that can help save your company time and money. If you are currently not using Facebook Workplace, we would advise not switching if your solution is working well. If there are lots of cobbled-together solutions, it might be time to consider an all-in-one solution with one company. If you want Facebook Workplace video rooms and are ready to connect everyone in your organization, you can try Workplace for free.

Here are the tips that she shared. How Do You Build A Community On Social Media? First, you need a solid social media strategy. Do research on FB for the best name - use keywords instead of brand name, unless you have a large brand Get familiar with group moderating options to get the most out of all functions. Grow the group by inviting the right people. Find help to admin the group if you want to monetize it. Where Should You Build A Community? Facebook groups are hot, LinkedIn Groups are not. (they might be making a comeback). Slack groups are a good place for building a community. Consider Instagram, Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp Groups. Build a community where your target audience is already active! Can You Share 2-3 Tips With Businesses Looking to Build A Community? Build two groups. Use one as a way to get tons of leads - picking a broad subject. (sewing, painting, local town, social media management). The second group is your VIP group and can be created as a place for students or members! Your funnel leads from the large group into the VIP group. Hire a community manager if you are serious about growing your group. Set group rules! Keep spammers and self-promoters at bay.
