Remote work has increased in recent years and even more recently. Many companies opt for the hybrid model, i.e., part of the working days are developed from home and the others are executed from the office. This fact has led to an increased demand for tools and technologies that facilitate online collaboration and communication.
Some of the tools that can be used to work remotely are:
- Videoconferencing platforms: Videoconferencing platforms are a essential tool for any remote team. They allow for real-time virtual meetings and collaboration on via screen projects. Some of the most popular platforms include Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Skype.

They allow sharing files, working on documents in real time, and assigning tasks and responsibilities.

- Real-time communication applications: Real-time communication tools are very useful in this type of communications. Among the popular ones: WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal.
