Dear Experts, I have a question related to telephony service. We are using IP PBX Grandstream UCM6510 with SIP trunking from The Provider.

So as my understanding, for example if our number is +AA 710xxxxx; I create a conference room in UCM6510 at ext 8888; then when customers want to join a conference room with us, they will call to +AA 710xxxxx, press 8888. Am I right? (AA is my country code)

But the Boss now have some customers in USA, UK,... and he wants his customers will call to USA, UK numbers, (for example: +1xxxxxxxxx; +44yyyyyyyy) respectively instead of our number (+AA 710xxxxx)  to join our conference room.

Is this feasible? Can you please suggest the solution? Many thanks!

I'm trying to figure out if Gotomeeting can have better audio quality than SkypefBusiness. I'm talking about voice calls, where someone calls in for a meeting over the phone. Could there be a difference considering that they are both conference bridges? Can they offer better audio quality somehow?


Thank you!

Hello Experts,

what are the best options & cost effective hardware for video conferencing?

thank you.

Hi,

We have had Skype for a few years.

We are interested in purchasing Skype for Business and installing on a Windows 10 PC.

Before we do so, we would like to know:

- What are the differences between Skype and Skype for Business
- How much does Skype for Business cost
- Where to buy Skype for Business
- Can a person with Skype for Business call someone using Skype and vice versa
- Can the same Skype for Business account be used on any Windows PC in different locations
- Do we need an Office 365 account or can we use Skype for Business without it
- Can Skype for Business be used in a location with low bandwidth

We appreciate your support with the above.

Thanks,
Robbie

Hi,

We am looking for a camera to buy for our conference/ meeting room which will be used with Skype for business.

The conference room includes a conference table which seats 4-6 people (2 on right of table and 2 on left) and a 55 inch display mounted on a TV stand beside the wall about 4 foot from the table.

We may also need a microphone on the meeting room table for the Skype calls.

1. What would you recommend as the best camera to buy for this room?

2. Is there any other products you would recommend to use with the camera you recommended?

Thanks,
Robbie

What is the best option for a giant TV on a rolling stand for a conference room? possibly 100 inch 4K but not crazy expensive

We are just starting to use Skype For Business for Internal IM.   We have setup Skype For Business to not allow External Contacts to be added. We didn't want Employees to start chatting with Friends and Family while at work.

We are looking to get rid off WebEx for Presentations and wanted to use Skype For Business, though it looks like we can't Invite Customers to the Meetings since we blocked External Access.

Is there a Way to Block External Users for IM, though Allow Inviting External Customers for Presentations?

Thanks!

Can I somehow record video conference audio when I am wearing headphones?  I have to wear noise cancelling headphones so I am not distracted.

We use Skype for Business and it's in the O365 portal.  Our Exchange server is on-prem and our AD is on-prem.  All we use the cloud for is the S4B licenses.

We are noticing that some users don't have pictures and some do.  It's random, and, they use to have pictures.  It's odd and I've been tasked with trying to find out why random users don't have pics.

For the most part, users upload their pics thru OWA and that's worked fine.  

Does anyone know where I would start to troubleshoot this issue?  Do I start in the cloud?  On-prem?  Outlook?  AD?

Just looking for a good starting point from someone who has seen this before.

Thanks

Cliff
