Written by Livia Burbulea | May 23, 2023

Collaboration has become a cornerstone of modern work environments, where teams work together to achieve common goals. In this era of remote work and distributed teams, having a reliable and efficient platform for seamless collaboration is paramount. That's where Sessions' collaborative workspaces come into play.

Within workspaces, teams can share the load and work together seamlessly in a virtual environment–whether hosting a webinar, meeting, or virtual event. 

 

 

Collaboration Made Easy

Collaborate on Agenda Building in Workspaces

Sessions' workspaces are a powerful feature within the Sessions platform that enables teams to collaborate effectively and efficiently. These workspaces provide a virtual environment where team members can share ideas, work on projects together, and achieve their objectives seamlessly. 

Workspaces offer a wide range of functionality to facilitate collaboration among team members. 

Within a workspace, users can create, edit, and collaborate on agendas in real time. This allows for seamless co-authoring, reducing the need for back-and-forth email exchanges or version control issues. Users can work in tandem to build an agenda as if they were working collaboratively on a document. 

In addition to working amongst team members, users can leverage AI Copilot to aid in agenda building. By simply typing in a prompt, Copilot will build an agenda that users can either use in its entirety, take components of, or edit. Between team member collaboration and AI-generated tips, workspaces make building agendas a seamless team effort.

Collaborate in Live Events

In addition to collaborating in workspaces, users can work together during events. Whether it's a team meeting, a client presentation, or a training session, the platform enables seamless collaboration during events. 

Sessions' workspaces allow users to invite team members as collaborators in specific events. When creating an event, users can easily add team members as collaborators, granting them access to participate and contribute to the event. This ensures that all relevant individuals have the necessary information and can actively collaborate during the event. 

Sessions also enables users to collaborate with team members for specific activities within a meeting agenda. Within these agendas, users can add specific activities, discussion points, or tasks for the event. Team members can be assigned to these activities, allowing for a clear delegation of responsibilities and effective collaboration during the event. Collaborators can contribute to the agenda by adding suggestions, updates, or speaker notes, facilitating productive discussions, and ensuring everyone is on the same page.

Seamlessly Share Information

Even outside of workspaces and events, Sessions participants can engage in real-time collaborationThey can utilize features such as live chat, document editing, screen sharing, and video conferencing to enhance communication and collaboration. Real-time collaboration fosters active participation, encourages brainstorming, and allows for immediate feedback, ensuring all team members can contribute their insights and expertise.

Furthermore, Sessions enables team members to easily share relevant documents, presentations, or reference materials within a workspace. This allows for seamless information sharing and ensures that all collaborators have access to the necessary resources. Plus, Sessions provides private note-taking capabilities, allowing participants to jot down important points, action items, or follow-up tasks. These notes serve as a valuable reference for all attendees. 

By leveraging the collaborative features within Sessions, teams can enhance engagement, foster effective communication, and achieve better outcomes during meetings, presentations, and other joint sessions. The ability to add team members as collaborators and assign activities within meeting agendas promotes teamwork, accountability, and a more streamlined collaborative experience.

 

Create and Set Up Your Workspace

Now that you understand the collaborative opportunities offered by Sessions, let's get set up in workspaces. Here's a step-by-step process of creating and setting up your workspace for collaboration:

  1. Creating a workspace: To create a new workspace, simply navigate to the Sessions platform and log in to your account. Once logged in, locate the option to create a new workspace. Click on it, and you will be prompted to provide a name for your workspace. Choose a descriptive name that reflects the purpose or project associated with the workspace.  

  2. Customize your workspace: After creating your workspace, you can customize it according to your preferences. Workspaces offer features such as custom branding, which replaces the Sessions logo with a company's own, or session wallpaper, which customizes the background for the platform during live meetings.

  3. Invite team members: Collaboration thrives when team members are involved. Invite your team members to join the workspace by sharing the workspace link or sending direct invitations. Sessions' workspaces offer the flexibility to add team members at any stage of the project, allowing seamless onboarding and ensuring that everyone can contribute to the collaboration effort.

  4. Access permissions: As the workspace administrator, you have control over the access permissions within the workspace. You can assign specific roles or permissions to team members, allowing you to manage who can edit documents, add new members, or perform administrative tasks. Fine-tuning access permissions ensures that sensitive information remains secure while enabling smooth collaboration within the workspace.

By following these steps, you can create and set up a workspace tailored to your team's needs within the Sessions platform. Creating your workspace will help you lay the foundation for effective collaboration.
