2. Session Objectives New partner offerings for video interop:
Product highlights
Setup & configuration considerations
The new experience for video interop with Skype for Business Online:
Licensing & provisioning
meeting scheduling
join
A peek at the vision for video interop with Microsoft Teams

3. Making Meetings Work for Everyone
Video teleconferencing with content collaboration makes the most out of meetings…
…but legacy VTC systems and rooms are expensive to upgrade.
Skype Video Interop works with legacy systems and delivers a Skype for Business meeting experience for all participants – in or out of the conference room.

4. Typical Interoperability Challenges
Including Equipment in Scheduled meetings
Scheduling mechanisms often require additional software
Endpoints equipment (location & VTC model) may not be known by organizer
Many room systems do not support native Outlook scheduling
Meeting Join
May require deployment of client-side plug-ins
Many VTC models have no keyboard – painful to type long dial-in strings
In Meeting
Majority of existing solutions require “meet on the bridge” – not native Skype for Business MCU and integrated roster
Many interop solutions fail to show shared content correctly or to all participants
Purchasing and Administration
Deployment and licensing involves planning

5. Different User Experiences
