Windows Messenger Integration Mode
Web
Office
is available for integration with Microsoft Windows Messenger (Windows
Messenger Integration mode), extending Windows Messenger’s capabilities to include
Polycom’s multipoint audio and video conferencing. Web
Office
works seamlessly with
Windows Messenger and users can invite participants and start a multipoint conference
directly from their instant messaging session or from their contact’s list, with a click of the
mouse.
The Windows Messenger interface completely replaces the Web
Office
Manager user
interface. The Web
Office
Buddy
list is replaced by the Windows Messenger
Contacts
list,
and the buddy’s video endpoint type and status are displayed in the Windows Messenger
Contacts pane. Conference preferences, the Conference Organizer and conferences are
started directly from the Windows Messenger interface.
In Windows Messenger Integration mode you can:
•
Initiate Web
Office
audio, video and data conferences
•
Start the Web
Office
Conference Organizer
•
Modify the Web
Office
properties
As with the standard Web
Office
implementation, Web
Office
in Windows Integration mode
allows users to associate themselves with a variety of personal or group conferencing
endpoints - including SIP, H.323. H.320/ISDN and PSTN based endpoints. Users can easily
switch between their default associated endpoint (for example a ViaVideo/Web camera)
and a room based system (for example a VSX7000/ViewStation).
Web
Office
integrates with Microsoft’s Windows Messenger client (version 5.0), in
conjunction with the Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2003 (LCS) enterprise
application.
