Tencent Meeting supports global users in working from home 

Tencent Meeting, a cloud-based video meeting application, has played an active 
role in the battle against the epidemic by launching an international version 
of the app. As of March 20, the international version has become available 
online in over 100 countries and regions around the world, including Malaysia, 
Singapore, India, Thailand, Japan, Hong Kong (SAR of China) and Macao (SAR of

Tencent Meeting, an audio and video conferencing application developed by 
Tencent Cloud, was released at the end of December 2019. Within two months of 
launch, the application had become one of the most widely used video 
conferencing applications in China with daily active users exceeding 10 million.

At the end of January when COVID-19 broke out in China, Tencent Meeting made 
available the feature allowing online conferencing with up to 300 attendees at 
one time free of charge, to help fight the epidemic. During this period, a 
tremendous amount of organizations used Tencent Meeting as a tool for 
telecommuting, while educational institutions used the platform to handle their 
online remote teaching and training programs.

To cater to the rapid growth in demand by users during the epidemic, Tencent 
Meeting expanded its computing resources daily and used the added resources to 
scale up capacity by adding over 1 million CPU cores to the network, with a 
total addition of more than 100,000 CVM within eight days, setting a new record 
in China's cloud computing sector.

In mid-March, the pace at which production is resuming and employees are 
returning to work has accelerated, with tens of thousands of companies and 
government agencies making Tencent Meeting part and parcel of their new work 
ethic. Signing in, bidding, conducting an interview, running a training class 
and other collaborative practices are all taking place in the cloud, signaling 
the emergence and strengthening of a new trend in how the workplace will 
function.

In order to meet the growing needs of users in the cloud office, Tencent 
Meeting is continuously upgrading key functionalities and services, launching 
14 updates within 40 days. Tencent Meeting will be continuously optimized to 
provide users worldwide with smooth, secure, and reliable cloud-based HD 
conferencing services that enable users to host or join meetings with ease.
