As government agencies increasingly adopt Microsoft Teams for their communication needs, ensuring secure and seamless interoperability with existing video conferencing systems is paramount. Two primary solutions on the market — Synergy SKY CONNECT for Government and Microsoft Cloud Video Interop (CVI) — offer different approaches to this challenge. This post explores why Synergy SKY CONNECT for Government stands out as the only truly on-premises Teams interoperability solution, providing unparalleled security and simplicity. 

Live captions enable people who are deaf or hard of hearing to follow along with the conversation, fostering inclusion and participation in meetings.

Even for those with normal hearing, captions can aid focus by providing a visual reinforcement of what's being said. This can be especially helpful in noisy environments or for meetings with heavy jargon or technical discussions.
