[cisco-voip] Webex room devices with 3rd party meetings

[Brian Meade]

The RoomKit mini can act as a USB device and then they can use a laptop to
join the meeting.

The other devices right now only support calling in to other meeting
services via SIP/H.323.  Zoom has Cloud Room Connector licenses you can pay
for to enable dialing in via SIP/H.323.  With Microsoft Teams, they don't
allow native SIP/H.323 call-in so you have to use a 3rd party interop
service such as Pexip/Polycom.  Cisco just announced that they will be
building an interop service but there's not many details around it yet.

You'll need to register the Webex devices to CUCM or Webex and that may
incur some additional costs depending upon your licensing/subscription.

For one button to push, the Webex Directory Connector will try to parse SIP
URI's and add the join button.  Sometimes using a 3rd party directory
connector may be a better option if you run into any issues.  Zoom has one
for Zoom meetings for Cisco endpoints.  There's other companies like
Synergy Sky that have alternatives for Cisco endpoints.

When joining meetings via SIP/H.323, you most likely won't get the full
native client experience with MS/Zoom such as roster list, being able to
mute other participants, etc.

Cisco is working on a WebRTC join experience using the web engine on the
newer endpoints that will allow you to join other meeting services with a
more native experience.  For the MS Teams WebRTC experience, you'll be
limited to single screen though.
