LifeSize Connections Guest Invitations

LifeSize Connections

and the unwelcomed Guest

So we all have come to know and love LifeSize. In the Video Conferencing sector, this innovative manufacturer has led the way in technology and inclusive features. With the introduction of the first HD Video Conferencing System way back in the day, the UVC platform that offers software-based infrastructure products, and the cloud-based Connections desktop software, LifeSize has become larger-than-life!

The cloud-based software client, LifeSize Connections, has truly changed the landscape by offering Video Conferencing on demand. One of the greatest features available is the free Guest Invitations. Basically, you can extend an invitation for a non-accountholder to join you in a video call. They have limited features and can only conference with the person who invited them. The Guest Invitations are unlimited – send out a thousand if you want! You can have a 9-way video call with up-to two of the positions filled by your Guests.

One day I attempted to reach one of my Guests from our room-based system, the LifeSize Team 220, and I was unable to connect the conference. Frantic that something had gone wrong with our account, I reached-out to Hunter at the LifeSize support team.

After some digging and testing, we discovered that the Guest Invitation feature is not available for use with the LifeSize endpoints. I was disappointed – I use the Guest Invitation feature all the time with my LifeSize Connections account.

The good news is that there are plans on the horizon to include the Guest Invitation feature on the LifeSize endpoints. This should be developed and deployed by the end of 2012. A software update will grant you access to the feature, so make sure that your maintenance is up-to-date!
