Only about 14 percent of information workers use Web conferencing daily or weekly (click on image for larger view).
About a quarter say they use Web conferencing, compared to 26 percent who say they use instant messaging, for example.

Only four percent of information workers use Web conferencing daily. Workers in this high-need

For 10 percent of information workers, Web conferencing is a weekly activity, largely driven by customer-facing workers.
About 76 percent of information workers don’t use Web conferencing at all.
