Learning, negotiating, consulting remotely - Part 2: Vinteo Server - 3 months of free video conferencing

Events taking place now all over the World inevitably continue to influence the remote communications industry. Many years ago, videoconferencing (VKS) was a sign of the company's wealth. In recent years, in the wake of the development of software solutions for video communications, VKS from the category of luxury moved into the category of an effective business tool. But now, the quarantine situation makes the video conferencing system a forced decision to provide remote work or training.
On the one hand, I am glad that this direction has become more and more popular over the last couple of weeks, but on the other hand, I am not glad that this happens under such sad circumstances.

A few months ago, I was the first and only subscriber to the Videoconferencing hub image- and now there are almost three hundred of us.

In the next few weeks, I plan to publish a number of articles from the series “Training, Negotiations, Consultations Remotely” on this hub , covering professional solutions of the videoconferencing system, providing for the time of quarantine their free use in real conditions in the existing infrastructure of the company. In a previous article, I described Mind Server and its free version . This article is dedicated to the action from Vinteo, the only Russian developer of a mass video conferencing solution built on the classic SIP / H.323 architecture.

The essence of the action


It's simple - you get the opportunity to use the full local version of the Vinteo server for 3 months for free . The number of connections is limited only by the computing resources of your server hardware.
If you need to organize remote work of employees, or provide high-quality video communication with partners and customers, use the promotion to get acquainted with the Vinteo professional videoconferencing system.

A request for pilot testing can be made at vinteo@prof-av.ru

ProfAV


For several months we were preparing a unique conference dedicated to the videoconferencing in Russia. On April 1, an interesting program was planned in Moscow, with a demonstration of modern video communication solutions and professional audio / video equipment.

But, quarantine measures forced us to reschedule the conference. The new date will be known after the lifting of restrictions on public events.

I, as the representative of the organizer of the exhibition ProfAV , invite you, after being removed from quarantine, to join an interesting and new event in the video conferencing industry. Leading competing VKS vendors in Russia will perform at one venue with a lively demonstration of their solutions. The event page has a bit more information and a registration button.

If you are ready to attend a conference in Moscow, register here .
If you are from another city, and you are interested in the event, you can leave a request for holding a conference in your city .
When the situation with the quarantine conditions becomes clear, I will publish a separate article about the ProfAV Conference, and I will also notify all those who register by mail about the new format and date of the event.

Vinteo is one of the key participants in the upcoming conference. You can learn more about the company and the Vinteo Server product from the creators first-hand - in an interview recorded on the eve of the conference:



All future interviews dedicated to this conference will be published in the playlist. ProfAV Conference
