Enhanced features like screen sharing, breakout rooms and real-time collaboration have become essential to maintaining productivity. As a result, the integration and functionality of video conferencing tools have evolved significantly, forming the pillar of Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) models, which offer comprehensive enterprise-level solutions. Industry revenue is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.0% to $12.5 billion over the past five years, including an increase of 0.6% in 2024 alone.
