Polycom Conference Control App

I have covered Polycom Infrastructure APIs several times in my blog. Polycom set of APIs is a very prowerful driver for UC and Video Adoption. It could allow you to quickly develop applications (Web, desktop, mobile…) to interact with Polycom RealPresence platform. This application could be IT-centric or end-user-centric.

“Polycom Advanced Services” has developed an application to easily manage Polycom Conferences. This application is accessible via a simple web browser (from your PC, Tablet or Mobile devide). After the authentication sequence, you can access to several key features to control active or inactive conference like:

• Create new personal VMR,
• Manage meeting participants,
• Mute/unmute, lock/unlock conference,
• Update VMR passcodes for Chairperson and Attendees,
• …

If you are interested by this application, we can provide you a trial version of this app to see the value of it in your environment. Please contact me or your local Polycom SE for the trial details and the cost.
