• Platform Agnostic: Synergy CONNECT extends the interoperability to also include Zoom, Google and FaceTime meetings at the same price and unbeatable feature set. 
• Improved Scalability: The licensing is per video device and SIP registrar can be added, giving you time to consider future investments without needing to pay for multiple subscriptions or additional infrastructure. More.
• Extended Content Sharing: Synergy CONNECT supports all presentation-sharing options. From the Teams, Google or Zoom client, you can either do screen or application share (PowerPoint Live or Whiteboarding).

CONNECT is a future-proof solution built on industry standards like SIP, WebRTC, and HTML, ensuring long-term compatibility and flexibility. Read more
