|
| Intelligent conference management
|
- Upscaling all connected participants to provide a seamless experience to all.

- Bandwidth-optimized content sharing towards the Pexip apps for crisp image at low bandwidth.
- Full support for individual transcoding and transrating of both main stream video and audio, and dual stream content.
- Direct media capabilities (end-to-end encrypted calls) between any two WebRTC-based participants.
- Simple conference management and interaction for conference participants using the Pexip apps, including the ability for Host participants to add, disconnect, mute and unmute other participants.
- Advanced conference management and interaction for administrators (using the web-based Administrator interface or the management API).
- Optional tagging of services to allow service providers to track VMR use in CDRs and logs.

| Conferencing services
|
- Virtual Meeting Rooms providing personal meeting spaces for everyone within the organization.
- Virtual Auditoriums designed to hold larger lecture-style conferences.
- Virtual Reception IVR (Interactive Voice Response) service.
- Media Playback Service that allows you to play prerecorded video content to consumers.
-
Infinity Gateway interoperability enables endpoints to:
- Call into an externally-hosted conference, such as a Microsoft Teams or Skype for Business meeting, or Google Meet.
- Make point-to-point calls to other endpoints that use different protocols and media formats (e.g. from Microsoft Teams Rooms or WebRTC to H.323 or SIP). Includes DTMF support.
- Secure Scheduler for Exchange enables Microsoft Outlook desktop and Pexip web app users to schedule meetings using Pexip VMRs as a meeting resource.
-
Pexip Secure Scheduler for Web is a web-based scheduling solution for creating and managing secure, virtual meetings. It provides enhanced security with features such as one-time VMRs, secure pin codes, and single sign-on (SSO).
- One-Touch Join enables the "click to join" functionality available in VTC endpoints.
- VMRs, devices and users can be bulk-provisioned from directory information contained in a Windows Active Directory LDAP server, or any other LDAP-accessible database.
-
Pexip VMR self-service portal that allows end-users to manage their personal Virtual Meeting Room without having to send requests to their administrator to change the configuration or branding of their VMR.
- Choice of layouts: select from a range of classic layouts, Pexip's AI-driven Adaptive Composition layout featuring real-time automatic face detection and framing, or design your own custom layouts.
- Conference participants can chat and share messaging content.
- Can output a dedicated multimedia stream to enterprise CDN (Content Delivery Network) streaming and recording services such as Wowza, Quickchannel, Qumu, VideoTool, Microsoft Stream and Azure Media Services, and to public streaming services such as YouTube and Facebook.
- Live captions: the meeting audio can be converted into readable text (live transcription).
- Can integrate with Epic telehealthcare providers.
-
Ability to manage conferences and participants:
- Require participants to authenticate in order to join a conference.
- PIN-protect conferences and differentiate between Hosts and Guests.
- Lock a conference to prevent any further participants from joining.
- Split up a meeting into breakout rooms where participants can talk, present, and chat with each other.
- Change the layout during a conference.
- Transfer a participant to another conference.
- Limit the number of participants in a conference, on a per-conference basis.
- Limit the bandwidth used by each participant, on a per-conference and/or global basis.
- Ability to re-brand with your own images and voice prompts, on a per-conference basis.
- Ability to re-brand the Pexip app, and to offer multiple differently-branded web app experiences within your environment.
- Ability to integrate Pexip app (WebRTC) functionality with third-party applications via our client REST API and with websites via the PexRTC library.
- Call policy decisions can be taken by an external system or a local policy script.
- Test call service that allows users to check their connectivity and the quality of their video and audio.
