VuCall on Your Apple Mobile Device

22 August 2011

Now you can easily access your VuCall service while you are on the move using the VidyoMobile app for your iPad 2, iPhone 4 or iPod touch. The app is simply downloaded from the Apple App Store (Business Section) and then all you need is a subscription to VuCall service to login and start making video calls and join video meetings.

VuCall on the iPad 2

VidyoMobile is easy to use, with all controls handled from the same application and user interface. VidyoMobile users have full control over their layout and can choose which participants they want to view, dynamically change between portrait and landscape orientations as well as preferred speaker and continuous presence modes. Since multiple participants can share data into the conference at the same time, VidyoMobile offers a content dock where shared data may be previewed and selected or returned to the dock and hidden off screen, all at the user’s touch.

VidyoMobile takes full advantage of Adaptive Video Layering technology to seamlessly integrate with desktop and room system endpoints for low latency, high quality video experiences that are optimized for each participant in the conference.
