We just did first tests this afternoon with Fabrice Duband (IBM La Gaude UC² CoE), Karl Lawall (IBM WW Social Business Sales) and John-Pierre Campitelli (IBM Collaboration Solutions Solution Representative in Italy).
With that integration, directly from an IBM Connections platform, you can start a Polycom video session with all community members.
By leveraging Polycom Realpresence RMX, you can see, at the same time, all attendees.
First, 3 members:
And then, 5 members:
Everything is delivered through a simple Web interface via IBM Sametime WebPlayer.
That's fantastic !!! A good example of Social Communications & Video ubiquity...
Hey Vincent, great job. Please have also a look of my demo including Outlook Sametime Connections and Polycom there : http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9BBB107504551643&feature=view_all.

Is Polycom needed for this or can this work with just Sametime without Polycom?
ReplyDeleteCan work without Polycom. Polycom integration provides continuous video presence (All video meeting attendees visible at the same time) and the interoperability with any video endpoints already deployed in the organisation (like Conference Room system or/and tablets)...
DeleteVincent: This looks very interesting. I have a client interested in Sametime web meetings w/ Polycom integration. We're discussing potential for a pilot between teams in US and China.
ReplyDeleteGreat... Don't hesitate if we can help you on this pilot.
