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
