Native interoperability with conference room systems

TrueConf users can extend a consistent enterprise experience across their conference room systems thanks to native integration with third-party video conferencing endpoints and MCUs via SIP or H.323. With Zoom you can also call or invite SIP/H.323 endpoints to video meetings; however, this option is available only upon purchasing H.323/SIP Room Connector which requires a dedicated PC or virtual machine for each connector in a hybrid deployment scenario. In contrast, you can gather up to 100 endpoints in a group video conference with TrueConf Server and just a regular CPU.
