Meeting lock

Meeting Lock allows an Intel Unite® meeting to be "locked" preventing additional attendees from joining a given session. The meeting can be unlocked by meeting participants. Presenters receive that additional confidence that sensitive content is not being displayed or viewed by unknown participants.

Skype for Business Plugin

(Enabled through a Plugin)

A plugin that provides integration between the Intel Unite® solution and Skype for Business.

It enables you to bridge Skype for Business and Intel Unite® meetings by allowing the Intel Unite® hub to join the Skype meeting.  When a user shares via Skype, it will be displayed on the hub.  When users share via Intel Unite®, the hub will share the content to the Skype meeting.

 

Mode: "Enterprise" and "Standalone"
