CounterPath Extends Virtual Meeting Room Capabilities to All Bria Teams and Bria Solo Users During COVID-19 Coronavirus Public Health Emergency
Vancouver, BC — March 3, 2020 — CounterPath Corporation (NASDAQ: CPAH) (TSX: PATH), a global provider of award-winning Unified Communications and Collaboration (UCC) solutions for enterprises and service providers, today announced it will be providing Virtual Meeting Room capabilities to all of its Bria Solo, Bria Solo Free, and Bria Teams users for 60 days to assist organizations in offering work-from-home while maintaining business continuity. CounterPath Virtual Meeting Room capabilities offer HD audio and video conferencing, which enables workers to productively telecommute from anywhere, on any device with an internet connection. CounterPath has also added more than 80 global dial-in phone numbers for their Virtual Meeting Rooms to support participants who do not have Bria, or access to a web browser, ensuring multiple connectivity options.
As millions of workers are being asked to work from home around the globe due to the COVID-19 outbreak, enabling the ability to work remotely has become top of mind for organizations and employees. Recognizing that its solutions for audio and video conferencing, screen sharing, and instant messaging could assist in alleviating disruption to workforces, CounterPath senior management felt compelled to help.
“As a provider of digital communication and collaboration services, our solutions are already used to support remote workers in enterprises and call centers worldwide,” said David Karp, CounterPath Chief Executive Officer. “In light of this public health emergency, we are pleased to join in the cause of supporting where we can, and enabling the usage of virtual meeting rooms and video conferencing to our users was a natural first step.”
The newly enabled Virtual Meeting Room support for Bria Solo, Bria Solo Free, and Bria Teams will offer:
- Unlimited Bria-to-Bria HD audio and video calls, with hosting capabilities for up to 200 participants
- Integrated screen sharing with participants
- Integrated instant messaging for Bria Teams users within the Virtual Meeting Room
