NHN "25x Increase in Video Conference Access Due to COVID-19 Spread"

[Asia Economy Reporter Bu Aeri] NHN announced that the access rate to video conferences has increased approximately 25 times compared to a month ago due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

On the 13th, NHN explained, "The access rate to video conferences on the cloud collaboration platform 'Toast Workplace Durey' began to rise from February 26, and in the first week of March, usage increased 25 times compared to the same period in February."

Durey's video conference service provides multi-party video chat for up to 14 participants, as well as note-taking, recording, and file-sharing features that allow users to record meeting content.

Access traffic for project management and collaboration tool services such as project, messenger, and mail functions also increased by about 30% daily on average. Daily new subscribers also increased compared to before the COVID-19 spread, and after the sudden decision to provide three months of free support on the 27th of last month, it increased about fourfold.

Baek Chang-yeol, head of NHN Workplace Development Center, said, "Toast Workplace Durey is a cloud-based work collaboration platform that can be used immediately after applying for the service without a separate installation process, so the adoption decisions of client companies with high demand for remote work are progressing rapidly," adding, "Considering that access traffic for projects or messengers for each client company has maintained the usual level or even increased, it is analyzed that work productivity is being maintained without disruption even during telecommuting."
