3. Frontline Worker Solutions: Elevate to mobile camera sharing with just a tap with Push to Show

Transform your communication from just talking to instantly sharing. One tap, and your rear-view mobile camera springs to life, letting your team see exactly what you do.

Show as you tell to have real-time visibility and address issues immediately. For example,  manufacturing workers across warehouses and other sites can instantly share a live view of mechanical breakdowns with each other. This allows for quick troubleshooting and reducing downtime on the factory floor.  

Frontline Worker Solutions: Push to Show will soon be generally available in Q4’23 worldwide. Learn more about our Frontline Worker Solutions here

RingCentral Direct Routing for Microsoft Teams blends RingCentral’s world-class reliability and rich feature set into a completely native Teams telephony experience.

5. New AI features in RingCentral Webinar

  • Generate smart webinar descriptions: reduce the burden on webinar organisers to create descriptions from scratch. 
  • Automatically translate Q&A into different languages: so that audiences in different languages can easily understand each other

Smart descriptions and translation with RingCentral Webinar will be available by the end of Q4  in the US, CA, UK, and AUS. Learn more about RingCentral Webinar here.

6. Continued global expansion 

We’re excited to announce that we have expanded our reach to new territories with our Bring-Your-Own-Carrier (BYOC) solution in Bermuda and Indonesia.

This allows any multinationals with employees outside RingCentral’s natively supported countries to still use RingCentral MVP given there is a local carrier relationship.

Out with the old, in with the new 

The challenges of the past have set the stage for a future rich with innovation. And with advanced AI capabilities woven throughout the RingCentral ecosystem, we’re not just streamlining workflows; we’re anticipating needs and automating solutions. All in all, we’re ready to tackle whatever comes next in 2024.
