Placing A Direct Call; Placing An Inter-Portal Communication (Ipc) Call - Vidyo VidyoRoom HD-220 User Manual

Placing a Direct Call

The Call Direct button enables you to place a direct (point-to-point) call with one user. The Call Direct button
becomes active when the user's status is Online. When you place a direct call, the person you are calling
sees an alert on their screen notifying them of the call.

potentially join you in the meeting.

Placing an Inter-Portal Communication (IPC) Call

Companies and other organizations all over the world use Vidyo systems. Up to now, each system was its
own little universe. A user of one system could invite a guest (like a customer whose organization did not
have a Vidyo system) to a VidyoConference, but that was it. Now with IPC, entire organizations can
interoperate. The option for IPC is on by default, but the Super Admin and the individual Tenant Admins of
the VidyoPortal can choose to disable it.
The steps for placing an IPC call vary slightly depending on whether you are using the remote control or the
