Features

 

One-click-to-join IconOne-click-to-join




Book the meeting as you normally would in your calendar. In a few seconds, the green join button will appear for all meeting participants (including personal and meeting room SIP endpoints), and you can join the meeting in one click, regardless of the vendor you or the participants are using.

E.g. One-Click dial from Cisco and Poly into Teams meetings.

 

 

 

 

 

Auto Room Release IconAuto release of rooms with no-show



The Synergy SKY Management Suite enables the sensors in Cisco Webex devices or Synergy Sensors, to automatically release booked rooms when no one shows up in
the room. The virtual meeting remains untouched.
