Overall Satisfaction with Lifesize Video Conferencing

There are a lot of camera settings that you will want to screenshot or record if needing to configure multiple cameras. I would also advise you to use multifunction devices as if you switch apps on an iPad, it will end the video call. I also suggest deciding if you need to enable lecture mode for instruction versus using the default setting where the speaker is the focus on the screen.
We use this tool to set up an interview. We usually send out a link where the candidate being interviewed dials in at a particular time and the interviewers all join the interview. Feedback from candidates who have interviewed using this tool is that they can hear the interviewers very clearly and the video calls also very brilliant. We have used this to set up interviews with different candidates and even when there are a lot of people on the call, the quality of the video and sound is really good.
  • The quality of the video is generally very high.
  • It is generally pretty easy to set up conferences.
  • LifeSize has gone through a lot of changes and updates over the last coupe of years.
  • Cloud seems to have a lot of issues.
  • Sometimes it feels like the step to download to connect is lengthy.
  • I'm not always happy with how it selects feeds to be the main feed.
We needed a rock solid communication tool for our entire company with offices located all over the globe. We had tried several products and made many changes to our infrastructure to try to support this, but we finally found that cloud based solution that LifeSize provides now was our best option.

Lifesize Video Conferencing Support

On a company-wide scale we are able to communicate with members and carry-out vital meetings in an orderly and dependable fashion. On a personal level as a remote employee I am able to communicate on a level that is as if I am in the office and I never skip a beat. This tool is great for teams in different locations. It reduces the necessity for travel by providing clear and generally reliable communications with multiple locations. It is especially useful for teams that permit working from home, and makes it possible for folks who are sick or offsite to join in.

Integrating Lifesize Video Conferencing

We had a great experience the setup was easy for cloud and adding cameras was almost too easy, I thought I had missed something. I would make sure you purchase the speakerphone also as it makes it easy to dial other personal users as well as the other conference rooms. The management GUI is very intuitive and easy to use. The desktop client works very well and the overall experience is very simple and easy for our end users.

Additionally, the LifeSize support team has been fantastic in working on optimizing our system over the years. They definitely have a more customer-focused approach than larger vendors or services such as Skype.
