The rise of multiple video platforms, their respective product versions and innumerable call protocols has made the video conferencing space more complex and harder to navigate. Interoperability is the only long-lasting solution that can solve this for organizations.
We’ve all experienced meetings that start late (or not at all) because the meeting room tech didn’t match the meeting invite. Every delay adds up: lost time, lost focus, lost dollars. Users simply want to walk into a room, press a button, and join any meeting—regardless of platform. No need to fumble through invites, type passwords, or guess which interface to use.
Beneath the surface of video collaboration you need interop
The number of platforms and versions is only growing. From Microsoft Teams to Zoom to Google Meet—plus a long list of legacy systems still in use—the industry isn’t consolidating. It’s diversifying. That’s why organizations need solutions that work across all platforms, all the time.
Modern interoperability must be:
-
Intuitive: Users shouldn’t need training.
-
Seamless: Meetings should start on time, every time.
-
Non-disruptive: It should work within the organization’s existing workflows.
Today’s users expect the same frictionless meeting experience at the office that they had while working from home. In 2025, wasting 10 minutes of a 30-minute meeting figuring out how to join is unacceptable.
Interoperability: Only Two Real Options for your SIP devices
1. CVI (Cloud Video Interop) + CRC (Cloud Room Connector) + Google Gateway + Confusion: Is what you need to connect most SIP video devices to Teams, Zoom and Google. The Confusion you get is different workflows and and feature set for each.
2. Synergy SKY CONNECT: CONNECT enables seamless collaboration across platforms. It’s the only solution that delivers a full-featured Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google and FaceTime experience on Cisco, Poly, and other SIP based video systems. One workflow. One license.
How Synergy SKY CONNECT Works
Synergy SKY CONNECT is a cloud-based interoperability gateway. It integrates with your existing calendar and meeting room systems, requiring zero user interaction beyond pressing the green join button.
Here’s how it works:
-
A user sends a calendar invite for a Microsoft Teams meeting.
-
The meeting room (equipped with a SIP video system) is included in the invite.
-
CONNECT reads the invite and automatically enables the green button on the endpoint.
-
The user presses the button. The SIP endpoint calls the CONNECT gateway.
-
CONNECT translates the call into the current stream and connects to the meeting.
That’s it. No manual dialing. No guest codes. Just reliable, secure video interop that works.
💡 If you want to connect without any booking - you can do it on the GO with CONNECT GO
Synergy SKY CONNECT protects your existing investments in meeting rooms, video conference devices, and video infrastructure. It removes the friction from multi-platform meetings, so your users can focus on collaboration—not connection.
With zero user training and powerful admin tools, CONNECT is a sustainable, secure, and scalable solution to the growing complexity of workplace video communication.
