The VidyoPortal is a 1U rack mountable appliance which
provides intuitive web-based interface for users to access the
functionality of VidyoConferencing
solution and for the system administrators to manage the components
and operation of VidyoConferencing
system.
It is very user friendly.
Users, conference participants and administrators can use it from
anywhere using web browser. The web
browsers supported are Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox
and Safari.
Each VidyoPortal has the VidyoRouter functionality built-in
and able to support up to 50 VidyoLines licenses. For deployment requiring 50 simultaneous
connections or less, 1 unit of VidyoPortal will be sufficient. For deployment with 50 or more concurrent
multipoint connections, one or more VidyoRouters
will be needed together with the VidyoPortal. These VidyoRouters
will be managed by the VidyoPortal enabling key deployment feature e.g.
floating VidyoLine licenses among the VidyoRouters.
For web conference users, the VidyoPortal can be accessed from
any VidyoDesktops or VidyoRooms. The functions
required to initiate or join a video conference are:
-
Adding participants to a conference
-
Invite users and guests to join your meeting using clickable
links
-
Invite participants via default email link
-
Defining calling features, such as speed–dial
-
Searching or browsing for other users

For system administrators, the VidyoPortal serves as a
central management environment offering abilities to:
-
Set system-wide parameters and policies
-

-
Control and customize user conferencing capabilities
-
Support for LDAP/Active Directory
-
Assign users to groups and manage their permissions
-

other strategic relationships.

the portal and access the VidyoDesktop client directly from your Microsoft Office
