Video Calling Used by 82% But Voice Calls Decline, Metrigy Finds

Metrigy’s “Workplace Collaboration 2021-22” study, Metrigy found that 82 percent of survey participants now use video for all or most meetings. Almost 44 percent of respondents say phone utilization declined in 2020 by an average of 34.6 percent. 


Fully 28.6 percent say that calls have shifted to video-enabled meeting apps, while 17 percent say that they shifted to using personal mobile phones for voice. On the other hand, given the Covid-induced shift from field sales to inside sales, neither is it surprising that 25 percent of respondents reported higher phone usage. 


Also, inbound calls to customer support centers arguably increased during the pandemic.
