Seamless collaboration across different video conferencing platforms is essential. This is why we continuously innovate to enhance the meeting experience for our users.
During Q1 ‘24, we will make a significant service upgrade and enhance the meeting experience on our cloud service with an immersive Teams-like experiences for all SIP and H323 endpoints connected to Teams using CVI. This is included and will be enabled for all Pexip Connect Standard customers with Enterprise Room Connector Premium (ERC-P) licensing.
Bringing a Teams-like experience to every room
The Teams-like experience applies the familiar and intuitive look and feel of Microsoft Teams to any standards-based video conferencing system connecting via Pexip CVI. This means that users can seamlessly join Teams meetings from their existing devices and enjoy much of the same functionality and features they are used to, including:
- Teams meeting layouts and experiences: Access a variety of Teams-standard layouts, including Gallery, Speaker View, and Large Gallery, catering to different meeting styles and preferences.
- Raised hand and active speaker indicators: Easily identify who is speaking and who has raised their hand, ensuring a smooth and inclusive meeting experience.
- Transcription and recording started notifications: Stay informed about the transcription and recording status of the meeting.
- Guests in lobby notification: Receive alerts when guests join the lobby waiting to join the meeting.
- PowerPoint® Live notifications: Be notified when someone shares using PowerPoint® Live, so you can open your Teams client and get the full interactive experience.
The Teams-like experiences will automatically be added to the service, there is no action needed to take advantage of it.
