The growth in remote work is amazing. At Pluot we support remotes and distributed teams with easy video conferencing. Pluot offers free web video conferencing, as well as affordable meetings for conference room TVs. We send you everything you need for your TV: your Pluot device, speaker, camera, and cables. Pay monthly for service, no contract required.
Each week our Remote Roundup looks at trends & stories from and for digital nomads, remotes, and distributed teams. We’d love to hear your own! Reach us at @pluotco.
