- Recommendations
Users of Vidyo have made several recommendations based on their experiences with the software. The most common recommendations include using Zoom as an alternative to Vidyo, giving enough time for downloading before using Vidyo for the first session, allowing conference room creators to give ownership to someone else, understanding how Vidyo works and testing it in various scenarios, ensuring enough bandwidth and CPU for Vidyo users, having a fallback option for interviews, allowing users from other companies to join well in advance, and using Skype for computer-to-computer connections and Vidyo for equipment in rooms. Furthermore, users believe that despite some limitations, Vidyo is a good product for visually connecting with others, even without much to compare it with.

First product I'm proud to use!
Reviews are my personal opinions only, and not that of Children's Hospital Colorado.
- Ease of giving access to outside users via direct email link. Send out a public or private (permanent or temporary) link that provides access to the room to anyone They simply click the link to first download the desktop or mobile version based on device. Then they use that very same link to immediately join the room.
- No hassle of setting up and verifying accounts as you do with others. Almost no technical problems of having to allow the application to access microphone or camera - common issue with Skype in my experience.
- Most importantly, it's secure as you want it to be. No worries about information sharing, leaking, and Vidyo give great ability to share your screen, take control, and display documents.
- More updates. Unless these are being implemented under the radar I don't personally see much communication around bug or network fixes.
- As with most telehealth technology it's improving rapidly, but still not perfect. Speaking on medical provider’s behalf they still don't love some of the tools and how they feed through Vidyo - sound quality, consistency of tools, etc.
- Only real trouble I've seen is when people attempt to call into it like a conference line. Should be utilized for video conferencing only, but improvement could be made for a fully functioning conferencing tool.
Quick daily calls and chats in the office are probably best suited for the free options out there as Vidyo is not a free service like others. Better yet general phone calls will suffice.
Once you log in - it's a great tool for video conferencing
- I didn't have to sign up, I just need to log into the "room" I was supposed to, so unlike Skype or other instruments, I didn't need to spend time and create my own account.
- To be honest, the largest online class I've attended had 10 people in it (besides the teacher), but it was a good quality connection.
- I enjoyed the ability to ask questions or clarifications in the chat (without having to turn on my microphone, so that the teacher could answer the question when he/she finished the thought).
- Google Chrome hates Vidyo (it feels like that, anyway). There is a special plug-in that you have to install, but the Vidyo website doesn't always catch the fact that you've installed the plug-in and keeps asking... or just ignores you (while you're running around in panic because you're missing the lecture).
- Safari works fine most of the time, but I had a couple of times when I would login to the session I was supposed to attend... no one would be in the "room"... so I'd get suspicious and re-login to the very same session... and TA DA, the lecture has been going on without me (because I signed in too early, before the teacher did - that was my guess).
Vidyo Review

- Vidyo can share files and screens, it has a mobile app and it can be used with low bandwidth
- Vidyo has a good support team
- Vidyo has support for Linux
- It needs to have interoperability with Skype

- It needs to have more tools for troubleshooting
- It is suited in the healthcare industry and it has some case studies.
- It also helps teleworkers across our country, to be in touch with customers in remote areas.
- It also has been a great help to remotely assist our support team.
- And it has the API released to make some basic customization for our costumers.
