Schedule and Start meetings from Crestron XiO Cloud


This a repost from a video I did on LinkedIn but thought for prosperity sake I would turn it into a living blog article. The ability to provide remote room conferencing support is front of mind for a many business planning what the new normal will look like in the office. With social distancing, flexible or staggered work schedules the IT and AV staff might not always be in the office to provide in person support.  With Crestron XiO cloud, providing zero touch administration and concierge support from a distance are just some of the features the Doctor has ordered to stay compliant with social distancing and keeping employees safe. 

 In this video I demonstrate the ability to provide high touch concierge services remotely leveraging XiO cloud by scheduling a meeting and starting a Zoom meeting with the remote control feature.

 Hope you enjoy this demonstration.

In addition to this functionality the LED lightbars and room signs indicate the following presence states:       þ   Green means the room is Available and not occupied   þ    Blue means the room...

Joining Video Conferences hosted by external Exchange Organizations  You have now setup your Microsoft Teams Room system, Zoom Room system or any other Video conferencing endpoint and want to join meetings from external organization using One button to Push. But you find out anytime you forward the meeting to the Mailbox/Calendar for the room nothing ever shows up on the Calendar.  Sound familiar?
