šŸ˜€ The only service with emoji feature parity in all meetings. šŸ‘

In today's hybrid work environment, virtual meetings have become the cornerstone of collaboration. While video conferencing keeps us connected, the lack of in-person interaction can sometimes make it harder to fully engage. Thatā€™s why non-verbal cues like emojis have become an important part of digital communication, helping to express emotions, agreement, or humor.

But what if you're using a SIP-based video conferencing device? Until now, that meant you were limited when joining meetings on popular platforms like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or Google Meet. Synergy SKY is changing that. 

Seamless Emoji Supportā€”No Matter the Meeting Platform

Synergy SKY is excited to announce a groundbreaking new feature: the ability to send emojis from SIP video conferencing devices into Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google meetings. As the only vendor offering this capability, Synergy SKY bridges the gap between traditional SIP-based systems and modern web conferencing platforms, ensuring that everyone can participate in the rich, interactive experience that emojis provide.

Why Emojis Matter in Meetings

Emojis have become a universal language in digital communication. Whether you're giving a thumbs-upšŸ‘ to show agreement, clappingšŸ‘ to acknowledge a good point, or sending a smilešŸ˜€ to brighten up the conversation, emojis can help convey emotions instantly, without disrupting the meeting flow. Now, with Synergy SKY, even users on SIP video conferencing devices can fully engage with the meeting experience, no matter which platform they're using.

Breaking Down Communication Barriers

This new feature exemplifies Synergy SKYā€™s commitment to interoperability and user experience. As meetings become more cross-platform, itā€™s essential that all participantsā€”whether theyā€™re using Cisco or Poly SIP devices, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or Google Meetā€”can interact seamlessly.

With Synergy SKY, thereā€™s no need to worry about missing out on interactions just because of the device you're using. Weā€™re making video conferencing more inclusive, fun, and engaging for everyone.

How it works

For Cisco video device buttons will appear on Cisco Touch 10 after installing Synergy SKY. See picture.

For all other SIP devices there is an option to use DTMF. AV Integrators will then be able to program room controllers like Crestron. Learn more here

Get Ready to Express Yourself

Emojis are more than just funā€”theyā€™re an integral part of modern communication. And now, with Synergy SKY, you can express yourself freely from any device. Whether you're using a SIP-based video conferencing system or a web platform, your meeting interactions just got a whole lot more dynamic.
