The latest Skype Broadcast features Pexip

Episode 49 of Microsoft’s popular Skype for Business Broadcast featured Pexip’s VP of Strategic Alliances, Eddie Clifton. Meeting up with Microsoft Skype for Business Sr. Product Marketing Manager Delanda Coleman, the two had a great conversation about bringing your existing VTC into modern meetings.

You can watch the 40-minute show here:

As the conversation emerges, Clifton and Coleman discuss the ever-present importance of system interoperability, scalability, and user experience and outline some of the challenges enterprises meet.

In addition, the conversation covers the three most common ways to add existing videoconferencing users to Skype meetings:

Joining a scheduled Skype meeting
Making an ad-hoc point-to-point call in either direction
Escalating a conversation by dragging and dropping a VTC user from the Contacts list into a call

Ending with Q&A

As the SfB Broadcast is a live event and broadcast from Microsoft’s Redmond campus, it ends with a Q&A session answering questions that have been asked during the show, covering such topics as pricing and licensing models, Outlook scheduling, if one needs to use plugins, and much more.
