Tencent Meeting builds a bridge of communications to support COVID-19 prevention

To sustain the explosive demand for remote collaboration during the pandemic, Tencent Meeting set a record for adding over 1 million CPU cores in merely eight days and helped with emergency management and remote communication in various industries through stable and premium cloud conferencing services.

Dozens of international organizations in China, such as the Great Geneva Bern area (GGBa) China Office, Bahrain Economic Development Board, Canadian Trade Office (Shenzhen), IDA Ireland, and Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry China International Office, utilized Tencent Meeting to collaborate remotely. They used collaboration tools such as Tencent Meeting to fight the pandemic and promote bilateral investment and economic and trade development.

In March 2020, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade communicated with more than 200 representatives of 125 overseas Chinese-funded organizations from 27 countries and regions through Tencent Meeting, which helped employees working abroad alleviate anxiety and psychologically underpinned the combat against the pandemic.

Tencent Meeting connects global guests for smooth online operations of various types of events

On March 5, 2020, the Chongqing Municipal People's Government and the Ministry of Trade and Industry of Singapore signed the Letter of Intent Between the Chongqing Municipal People's Government and the Ministry of Trade and Industry to Co-Organize the Smart China Expo through Tencent Meeting. In order to ensure the progress of the project, the two sides decided to hold an online signing ceremony on Tencent Meeting and discuss the cooperation. Although they were far apart, the effective transfer of HD video and clear audio built a digital bridge for their cooperation.

Venue of the signing ceremony

On May 20, 2021, the 5th World Intelligence Congress kicked off at the Tianjin Meijiang Conference & Exhibition Center. The summit was broadcasted on hundreds of live streaming platforms, attended by thousands of online participants, and viewed by hundreds of millions of people. The number of attendees reached 4,021 at the peak. Tencent Meeting connected these online attendees and the main venue.

During the summit, more than 4,000 attendees show up on video meeting through Tencent Meeting for the first time.
