To access, open the Vidyo Desktop client, login w/ LDAP credentials, then select the “Invite by Email” icon that looks like a piece of mail – this button will open your default email client and provide you with global dial-in numbers as well as your public link to your Vidyo room.

SFO Boardroom Display Upgrade

  • To reduce room start-up and shut-down times, bring the conference room up to Mozilla’s latest AV standards, and help improve seamless conferencing – the SFO Boardroom displays have been upgraded. Two 90″ displays (yes, two 90 inch displays) have been added as a replacement to the single projector w/ drop down screen. Next time you are in SFO, book out the Boardroom and let us know what you think of the upgrade!
