Lifesize Icon and Lifesize Cloud Rocks!
We purchased Lifesize primarily to connect with area high schools to offer dual credit courses to high school students. It has allowed us to send classes from our main college campus using a reliable, more intuitive video conferencing system than our previous systems.
Our campus faculty, business institute, and other departments are looking forward to using the system in addition to dual credit teaching.

- Students have opportunities to learn without physically coming to our campus.
- We have saved money bringing in guest lecturers to classes without paying travel expenses.
- We used this recently for a mandatory orientation meeting with area high school instructors who teach dual credit for our institution.
- All of the participants, and sites of participants were able to connect eeasily and without issue.
With the infrequent and sporadic use of our system, we could not justify the extra cost of the Polycom. The ease of use for students calling into a virtual meeting room was easy, intuitive and connected flawlessly. In our institution, our needs vary from semester to semester, and we needed a flexible solution which could be used anywhere and not be hardware and room dependent like our old Polycom unit was.

Our college is using Lifesize as the primary delivery of dual credit distance education classes with area high schools. Even our most technophobic instructors are using the software client and the hardware with ease.
One of our faculty members is using the Lifesize PC desktop client to have virtual office hours for summer classes. This allows the faculty member, and students, to not have to come in to campus to talk together.
Our academic technology department is using the desktop client to do quick recordings for on-line courses. The ease of use and great flexibility makes using this product a joy!
- Distance Learning - Dual Credit to area High School Students
- Virtual office hours
- Training and communicating with outside vendors
- Simple, fast Lecture Capture
- Letting area high schools to leverage our cloud account to be able to teach subjects to other high schools when enrollment at those schools doe snot have enough interest in certain classes.
- When this system grows, I can see us using it as a tool to communicate in person to off-campus employees.
- Lecture capturing was something we ran into by mistake, but the cloud client on the PC over at academic technology is being used to capture lectures that need to be done quickly and easily.
- We hadn't planned on using the system for virtual office hours, but this summer, it has been a smashing success.

Ease of use for the remote user was the single most important thing we considered. We needed to have multiple, non-technical, people at the remote site to log into the system and start it up for each class. We have never had an issue with remote users calling inot our service, never!

We implement this system with many faculty and staff members throughout each semester. It is very easy for us to train those folks. One of the best things about this product is the ease of use.
We installed our Lifesize unit on a portable cart, so it is flexible to go anywhere on our campus. We also use the system with web-cameras attached to our integrated classroom PCs.
We did develop a sheet of requirements for area high schools with best practices on their end. Those were: Hard wired internet connection, PC specifications form the Lifesize website, and a hard wired connection of the computer to the display device.
No - we have not done any customization to the interface
No - the product does not support adding custom code
We set up a Gmail calendar to work with the scheduling of the device. Calendar integration was flawless and easy to set up. We bought decent quality web cameras that had good video and great microphones to use in rooms where we needed a one-off meeting to another site. Better microphones enabled better audio quality. Don't skimp on the quality when using web-cameras--you get what you pay for!
No
The standard support Lifesize offers to their users is tremendous. We have had very few issues, and most were our fault! Even when it was our issue, the support team was courteous, friendly and patient with us and went above and beyond to help us. Great job Lifesize, your support is stupendous!
No
We had an issue with a connection to a third party site. After my support call, they continued to try to connect with the third party system, and eventually found that the firewall at the third party was rejecting our IP address. Once we found that out, the IT folks at the location added our IP and we were able to connect..It was nice not having to stay on the phone for 30-60 minutes while the technicians determined the issue.
- Making calls is very easy.
- Dialing other sites is as easy as typing in the code of the other unit
- Ability to keep a local address book as well as add favorite sites is great
- NONE!
Yes
We have had students, guest lecturers, higher learning executives, high school teachers and many more call into a virtual meeting room with zero technical support from our staff. That is the best thing. The system is fast to install, easy to navigate and makes the end user experience a breeze. This makes my day!

- Constant quality audio.
- Adaptive bandwith quality.
- Share presentations.
- Easy administration of meetings and users.
- Touch screen on Lifesize device sometimes is slow.

- Information about meeting rooms is wrong.

Lifesize, the best video conferencing solution!
Our whole organization uses it. It is probably the best video conferencing tool out there. It allows our company to have meetings with people at other locations without any hassle. Our HR department loves to use it for interviews and recording them. Would definitely recommend this tool to any company that needs to host webinars and meetings.
- Very easy to use, install & configure
- Exceptional audio & video quality
- Screen sharing works perfectly
- Poor plugin support
- Too many updates
- GUI needs a bit of improvement

Full size result with Lifesize
We use Lifesize for video conferencing on a global scale. We find the sharing of a document or presentation works very well. Also inviting ones inside and outside the organization is very easy. We also appreciate the audio joining feature for those on the road but who still have phone service available. We use this feature as well when ones are without sufficient internet.
- Clear uninterrupted video conferencing.
- Chat and presentation sharing.
- An easy to use interface.
- Managing the users, an admin cannot edit one's name if the name is missing.
- Setting or defaulting to a structure for the directory, Fname or LName right now it is anything goes, and the directory is live so one can put in a nick name that could be vulgar.
- Updates, it would be nice to push these without interaction.
- Allowing an install setup for Lifesize cloud to be on at startup and logged in.

LifeSize Video Conferencing Review
We have 26 remote offices and almost 3000 employees. Training and communication have always been a hot button response when we conduct our internal employee surveys. In the past we looked into video conferencing but it was very cost prohibitive. But with recent changes in several state laws that we conduct business in, there was a renewed sense of addressing our training needs. We went to the market and explored several solutions, ending up with LifeSize. We now conduct all new employee training using centralized trainers. We also use this platform for company-wide updates, one on one training, and a variety of other ways.
- Easy to use
- Fast
- Economical
- Cameras could have built in mic arrays
- Registering the cameras should be easier and require no help from the remote side
