Roam: An HQ built for the New Normal

Fully customizable calendar scheduling

The workplace is evolving. It's changed from a fixed element to something much more dynamic.

It can be a co-working space, a hybrid and remote environment, or a distributed and fully asynchronous endeavor.

Organizations and people they’re made up of are now able to connect and collaborate on a global level. This has allowed businesses to attract and keep more star players than ever before.

However, none of this would be as frictionless as it currently is without a calendar scheduling infrastructure products like Cal.com or next-generation video conferencing platforms like Roam.

Everyone should visit Roam

Roam is more than just a teleconferencing platform; it's a virtual HQ that organizations of all sizes can use. Roam makes it easy for coworkers to see who's available for a meeting, catch up with the latest developments at the office, and issue free virtual guest passes.

One of the nice things about Roam is that the platform is priced according to usage. Organizations are charged a fixed amount per user, and if an employee doesn't use the service, then the organization won't be billed for that person. This practical approach to pricing helps to ensure that each organization only pays for what it actually uses.

All Cal.com users have the option of adding Roam as an integration within their calendar scheduling environment. Doing so is a great way to enhance workflows for distributed teams by making it easy for coworkers to communicate and brainstorm in real-time.
