Hello Vidyo!

The Conference Group is taking Video Conferencing to a whole new level that really Rocks!

You probably heard about the Channel Partners Expo and how TCG gave away a Fender guitar to promote its newest product-Vidyo, right? Well for those of you that did not attend, I wanted to provide you with some highlights on this new product and how it is different from our other great video conferencing product, MegaMeeting.

Vidyo is a HD video conferencing product that works over existing IP infrastructure. It is supported by both PCs and Macs. Vidyo has an intuitive graphical Interface which allows for high performance telepresence without requiring special hardware downloads.

When you first login - this is what you will see. The screen shot below shows your rooms (it’s set up so you can have multiple rooms, meaning one for Finance, one for HR., etc)

Recommendations are to have your room locked until time of conference.  Unlocking the room is very easy:
Adding participants to Vidyo is simple.
Managing a call is simple.  Click on the settings “wheel” and you have all the controls at your fingertips.
The best feature of Vidyo is the quality of the conference.  Vidyo is equipped to handle up to 100 subscribers and displays up to 8 simultaneous cameras.  Typically the first 8 subscribers are the ones that are on the screen, however the leader can control what cameras are seen and can push his view out to all of the subscribers.  Below is a screen shot of two subscribers:
