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

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Ok. I got feedback on this. It’s a strange scenario.

I’m going to try and replicate and test and provide feedback tomorrow.

Yea, I'm not a huge fan of the Webex Directory Connector.  It could be a lot better.  Something like Synergy Sky works much better.

Just a heads up that the Hybrid calendar parse tool does _not_ work with forwarded invites last time I checked. This is a big drag. You can copy/paste meeting details into a new meeting I think.

Or did I already say this?

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.

Hello,

Anyone has any good experience in joining non-Webex meetings from the Cisco roomkit devices? Trying to deploy a standard for conference rooms with roomkit devices and touch 10 but need to make sure user experience is easy or similar when joining Webex meetings vs non-webex meetings such as Zoom, Blue Jeans or Microsoft meetings.
