Polycom Conferencing for Microsoft Outlook, which requires the Polycom Conferencing Add-in for Outlook, offers an integrated and enhanced experience for all of those involved in video conferencing.

In Wave 2.5, the Polycom Visual Communications release provides support for Microsoft Exchange 2010 and Microsoft Outlook 2010.

procedure for scheduling video- and audio-enabled meetings, which requires less IT support. Thus, it maximizes the use of visual communication assets and their return on investment (ROI).

 It allows conference organizers to use Microsoft Outlook and its usual meeting request

workflow to schedule video- and audio-enabled meetings. It also allows conference organizers to include recording and streaming into the conference, when required.

 It allows meeting participants to track their video- and audio-enabled meetings on the same

calendar that they track their other meetings. It also allows meeting participants to simply click a link in an email meeting request to join conferences on their associated video or audio endpoint system.
