VidyoDesktop™: Quality Conferencing From Anywhere
Yes, it’s finally happened! Vidyo now makes a quality video conferencing experience available on the desktop. And what do we mean by “quality”. Think: better than most of the room video conferencing systems you’ve experienced. And, by the way, we’re also talking about desktop video conferencing that’s conducted over general-purpose IP networks. All you need is a video camera, a Mac or a PC, and you’re ready to participate in a multipoint video conference with other participants, whether they’re gathered in special video conference rooms or simply sitting in front of VidyoDesktops of their own. Finally, there’s a way for everyone to participate no matter where they might happen to be.

VidyoDesktop is a software-based solution that’s easy to use and manage via VidyoPortal. And with it comes the realization of the same reservation-less conferencing capabilities for video that have been available right along for voice and the Web. All users are assigned a personal space that can be password-protected, thus making it possible for meetings to be held anytime — whether impromptu or by prior arrangement.
