In addition to an on-premise client/server solution, IOCOM offers Visimeet as a cloud hosted service that allows any user with internet connectivity to participate in full multipoint collaboration meetings without requiring the enterprise to own or administer expensive hardware to facilitate such meetings.

Any individual can simply sign up for the Visimeet service and optionally purchase a subscription based on their individual requirements. Alternately, a group facilitator may purchase a block of licenses to use the service and likewise provision these accounts to team members as desired. All plans include a free trial. After the trial period expires, Visimeet is still functional though with a limited capability set.

Presence

Contacts

Unlike most video conferencing solutions, Visimeet uses a personal contact list that is managed by each user. Contacts may optionally be arranged into discrete groups. Contacts must be approved by the user, it is an invitation system. You may manually initiate a contact invite to an individual user or import your existing Outlook or Gmail contacts. The contact list makes it easy to see who is available and instantly invite them to a meeting.

IM (Instant Messaging)

Regardless whether you are in a Visimeet meeting, you may directly interact with any user in your contact list via the instant messaging (IM) tool. The IM tool provides the means for quick and convenient communication.

---

Communities

Communities are an ideal way to establish contact relationships between members of larger workgroups. Any user may create a community and likewise invite other users to join that community. Once a user accepts an invitation to join a community, a contact relationship is instantly established with all other users who accept the community invitation. Community members do not need to add individual community members to their contact list, all community members can see each other once they agree to be part of the community. User's may still maintain a personal contact list and/or maintain memberships in multiple communities.

Meetings

Multiparty Meetings

Visimeet users may participate in multiparty video meetings with a nearly unlimited number of participants. Visimeet does not restrict the number of participants. Visimeet was designed to scale as requirements for capacity grow. Individual settings allow for adjustments when bandwidth may become strained in large meetings to ensure superior experience.

Open Standards Interoperability

Visimeet will coexist and extend the capabilities of an existing traditional video conferencing infrastructure, H.323/SIP. A key difference between Visimeet H.323/SIP capabilities and many hardware based videoconferencing systems is that Visimeet uses a fixed central server that places the call to the H.323/SIP endpoint on behalf of the Visimeet client. On many traditional hardware based H.323/SIP endpoints, the call is initiated point-to-point. This model becomes problematic with uncooperative firewalls or routers and in scenarios where, for example, there are network issues on the LAN segment where the hardware endpoint resides. With Visimeet, the client instructs the Visimeet server to initiate the H.323/SIP call which resides at a fixed address on a high availability/performance network.

Scheduled and Permanent Meetings

In addition to instant meetings, one-time or recurring scheduled meetings can be created. Recurring meeting details, ID, time, date, remain the same for every meeting in the series and may be edited. An email invitation can be sent to all participants and meeting details can be imported into most calendar applications. Additionally, meeting restrictions can be set to ensure reduce distractions.

---

Recording meetings

Any Visimeet meeting can be recorded for playback. Recordings are stored on the server and may be shared with other users. All users in meeting are informed when recording is initiated. In addition to recording any audio or video streams in a meeting, the Visimeet recorder will also record shared data.

---

Telephone Participation

Any user with a meeting ID may dial into a meeting and participate with full audio between the phone and all meeting participants. Visimeet users may dial out to any telephone endpoint.

---

Chat

In addition to IM, which is supported outside the context of a meeting, Visimeet supports in-meeting group chat. Users may send messages simultaneously to all participants or optionally send private chat messages to a specific meeting participant. The Chat tool is only available while in a meeting.

Moderator

The moderator tool is available to the meeting owner and/or designated meeting moderator. Moderators can control remote site audio/video and eject or ban specific users from the meeting.
