The government agencies are no different
By adopting video conferencing as one of the major communication channels, the government will certainly benefit a lot. While cutting travel costs has been one of the main reasons for government video conferencing, there are still more benefits to this technology besides cost reduction alone.
Communication is a fundamental need of all government bodies. Be it electoral propaganda or even the inter-departmental exchanges of ideas; all moves are guided by effective and thoughtful communication. Traditional modes used to strangulate smooth communication under heaps of papers and old files.

Benefits
Reasons Why Government Should Adopt OBMeet
Healthy Work Life
Remote Work
The remote work environment reduces the work-induced stress, it allows staff members more flexibility to deal with personal or family issues (while still remaining connected), and also saves valuable money (and time) spent commuting.
Collaboration
Government video conferencing allows workers to collaborate with one another seamlessly and securely. An increased number of government employees are in the fields, serving citizens directly, going about to combat crisis situations, tracking the progress of their regions or attending important meetings.
Travel Cost
Traveling, commuting and schedule difficulties usually cost more as compared to direct capital. For instance, a bailiff who's transferring a prisoner to a given meeting or even a lawyer charging for his/her time to travel are certainly entitled to a certain amount of compensation. This reduction in travel costs saves money, making it one of the most important benefits of video conferencing for government.
Interactions
Government video conferencing has bridged the gap between the rulers and the ruled. With video conferencing, public sectors representatives are now able to communicate directly with the public, answer their questions and also explain their own stands. This will certainly work well to sort out mass grievances.
Legal Processes
Videoconferencing in the justice system allows the government to save a significant amount of the taxpayer's money. Using video conferencing can eliminate the need for transporting inmates from the prison to the courthouse during trials. In addition, public defenders can also communicate efficiently with their customers on matters like inmate bail applications, hearings and several other nominated court matters, without necessarily having to travel.
Public Safety
During this coronavirus pandemic, it is critical that departments evaluate their communications posture and take steps to ensure the right resources, mitigation strategies, and video conferencing platforms and other tools are in place to manage uncertainties. Innovative thinking and rapid adaptation of procedures will enable departments to safeguard themselves and their communications during the outbreak.
