Joining Cross-Platform Meetings

When Zoom Rooms is deployed in a video conference room, it runs in "kiosk mode." When meeting invitations are received from other platforms, it is difficult for users to conveniently join those other meetings.

After deploying VCA, users can switch to the target platform with one click in the Controller. VCA will simultaneously switch the applications on the host and tablet. If it is a scheduled meeting, the meeting will automatically appear on the screen in the corresponding room. Users only need to click the "Join" button, and VCA automatically handles the cross-platform meeting.


Keeping the Conference Room Tidy

In order to be able to join meetings on other platforms, many companies choose to add a keyboard and mouse to the conference room to facilitate employees switching meeting platforms, which invisibly increases the cost of purchasing peripherals, maintenance costs, and the risk of loss. It also disrupts the tidiness of the conference room.

After deploying VCA, users can directly control the host through the virtual keyboard and mouse on the tablet, so there is no need to configure physical keyboards and mice anymore. This meets the needs while maintaining the tidiness of the conference room.


Improving Video Conferencing Effects

When encountering cross-platform meetings, users often have to use laptops or even mobile phones to participate. Meetings held in conference rooms are often multi-person meetings, and laptop cameras cannot meet the requirements for multi-person video shooting. Microphones and speakers can only meet the requirements for personal use. Compared with the professional audio and video equipment in video conference rooms, the meeting effect that laptops can bring is very limited.

After deploying VCA, users can run personal versions of video conferencing software on the host to participate in occasional cross-platform video conferences and experience the good multi-person meeting experience brought by professional audio and video equipment. To facilitate user operations, VCA also provides control functions similar to Rooms Controller.


Reducing Video Conferencing Software Subscription Costs

Rooms version video conferencing software can bring a good meeting experience in conference room scenarios. If you need to support cross-platform meetings, you need to subscribe to more services or video conferencing software on other platforms, which greatly increases software subscription costs.

After deploying VCA, companies can choose to use personal versions of video conferencing software instead of Rooms versions. Non-frequently used meeting platforms can choose to install personal versions of video conferencing software. If you only need to attend meetings, you do not need to subscribe to meeting services. Even if you install more video conferencing software, it will not increase the cost of meeting service subscriptions. Ultimately, companies will get a fully functional cross-platform conference room without increasing the cost of meeting service subscriptions.


Room Intelligent Control

Existing conference room intelligent control solutions rely on custom development, and the range of hardware options is very limited, and the hardware prices are high.

VCA supports mainstream enterprise-grade smart hardware on different platforms, and also supports more than 10,000+ mainstream smart home smart hardware, bringing companies a huge range of optional hardware, reducing the cost of smart conference rooms by more than 80%. Through no-code custom central control panels and smart scenes; cloud computing + edge computing architecture, without fear of network outages, to ensure stable intelligent control of the conference room.


Centralized Cloud Device Management

Conference equipment failures are usually discovered and reported to IT by users, and the response is slow, which affects meeting efficiency and reduces the IT team's work evaluation. Regular inspections are not only time-consuming but also drive up operating costs.

VCA provides VCA Cloud services, supporting access to management pages from personal computers and mobile devices. It includes functions such as device monitoring, remote operation and maintenance, data analysis, remote OTA, and automatic alarms, and new functions are constantly being added as the product iterates, reducing IT operation and maintenance costs and improving the IT team's work evaluation.
