The explosion of video conferencing platforms—each with their own versions, protocols, and quirks—has made virtual meetings harder to navigate than ever. As organizations adopt Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Webex and countless others, interoperability is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity.
The Problem: Meetings That Don't Just Work
We've all been there. A meeting starts late—or not at all—because the room system can’t connect to the platform in the invite. Time is lost. Focus is lost. Money is lost.
People simply want to walk into a room, press a button, and join any meeting—regardless of platform. No hunting for passwords, no confusion over buttons, and no figuring out whether it’s a Teams, Zoom, or Google Meet invite.
The Real Cost of Video Platform Fragmentation
The number of platforms and their versions is increasing, not decreasing. The industry isn’t consolidating—it’s diversifying.
You now need to support:
- Microsoft Teams
- Zoom
- Google Meet
- Webex
- Legacy SIP/H.323 systems
That’s a lot of fragmentation, and it’s creating chaos in the meeting room. To navigate this mess, organizations need modern interoperability—a simple, seamless way to make all platforms work together, reliably.
What Interoperability Should Look Like Today
A modern interoperability solution should be:
- Intuitive: No user training required
- Seamless: Meetings start on time, every time
- Non-disruptive: Works with your existing workflows and systems
In 2025, wasting 10 minutes trying to join a 30-minute meeting is unacceptable. Employees expect the same one-click experience at the office that they have at home.
The Only Two Options for SIP-Based Interop
If you use SIP-based video systems (Cisco, Poly, Huawei, Lifesize etc.) and want to connect to Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Webex or Google Meet, you really only have two paths:
Option 1: CVI + CRC + Google Gateway + Confusion
This option requires a mix of Cloud Video Interop, Cloud Room Connector, and platform-specific gateways. What you get is a patchwork of workflows, inconsistent feature support, and admin complexity.
Option 2: Synergy SKY CONNECT
CONNECT is the only solution that provides one consistent workflow and full-featured access to Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Webex and even FaceTime—from SIP-based video systems. One license. One workflow. Zero confusion.
How Synergy SKY CONNECT Works
CONNECT is a cloud-based interoperability gateway. It integrates directly with your existing calendar and video systems. There’s no user training required—just press the green join button.
Here’s how it works:
- A Teams (or Zoom, Webex or Google) meeting is scheduled via calendar.
- A SIP-enabled meeting room is included in the invite.
- CONNECT scans the invite and enables the green "Join" button on the room system.
- The user walks in and presses the button.
- CONNECT translates the call and seamlessly connects to the meeting.
✅ No dial strings
✅ No guest codes
