With more and more organizations trending toward operating with remote employees, video conferencing is now an essential tool for collaboration within virtual meetings.
Whether you have a split working model with some employees remaining at the office and others working from home or on the road - or, if all employees are remote - keeping a clear workflow of communication is more important than ever.
There are many video conferencing platforms available in today’s tech landscape, so having the option to join the same VC platform as a specific team or new customer can make all the difference in a meeting’s ease of use.
Keeping ease of use in mind as one of our design criteria, we’ve added Microsoft Teams as the latest VC integration into T1V’s flagship collaboration product, ThinkHub. Microsoft Teams joins the ranks of Zoom, Webex, Skype For Business, and Blue Jeans as integrated VC options within ThinkHub.
As with all of ThinkHub’s video conferencing integrations, the Microsoft Teams integration features a single tap to start.
If a Teams meeting has been scheduled in your ThinkHub Room booked through your Microsoft Outlook calendar, launch into a ThinkHub Session with a single tap. This starts the Teams application, logs in, and connects the meeting instantly. Call participants will be visible on the VC panel directly on the ThinkHub Canvas.
But what sets ThinkHub’s video integration apart?
Participants have the ability to see all shared content on the Interactive Canvas meeting screen at the same time that the Microsoft Teams call is running in the VC panel. Whether the content is opened from a saved ThinkHub session, or added in real time during the new session - the videos, PDFs, images added can be seen on one Canvas.
Participants can share unlimited devices and content for side by side comparison, something not available in a standard video conferencing app without ThinkHub.
What’s more, through the Menu, you can easily join a Microsoft Teams call if the ThinkHub Session has already started. Additional capabilities include making the video conferencing participants full screen, tapping to bring back to the VC panel view, or even hiding the panel throughout the meeting.
Exit the Microsoft Teams meeting and finish up working on the ThinkHub Session before saving.
The Microsoft Teams application integration is a powerful addition to the ThinkHub video conferencing platform.
