VidyoPortal™: Simplified Access from Anywhere
The VidyoPortal is a Web-based environment administrators can use to manage the VidyoConferencing™ system. And it’s so incredibly straightforward, in fact, that even ordinary conference participants can use it to initiate meetings — via the Web — from anywhere. VidyoPortal’s flexible interface features single-click-action buttons that take care of everything required to initiate a conference.

Also, regardless of whatever endpoint system you might happen to be using, VidyoPortal provides a consistent environment that’s compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari.

For end users, the portal can be accessed through a range of endpoints that run VidyoDesktop™ or VidyoRoom™. For first-time users, there’s a simple sign-in or authentication procedure. Guest users can also be allowed access to the system, assuming organization policies permit that. All functions required to initiate or join a video conference are supported, including:

. Adding participants to a conference
. Defining calling features, such as speed-dial
. Searching or browsing for other users
. Setting personal account preferences

For administrators, the VidyoPortal serves as a central management environment offering abilities to:

. Set system-wide parameters and policies
. Establish end-user and association privileges
. Control and customize user conferencing capabilities
