Meeting Scenarios
Microsoft–Polycom integrated solution offers high quality point-to-point
and multipoint voice, and video conferencing calls (in any combination)
across communication devices, applications and services. This solution
empowers users to connect and share information in real-time regardless

• enabling Polycom endpoints (VSX and PVX) to be added to Office
Communicator and Windows Messenger buddy list
• bridging between Microsoft SIP-only environment and legacy
ISDN, PSTN and H.323 endpoints
• displaying the user/endpoint presence in the buddy list
• starting a point-to-point or multipoint meeting directly from
Polycom endpoints, Office Communicator and Windows
Messenger.

scenarios are available; Those intended for Windows Messenger and
Office Communicator that do not leverage and are not based on SIP-CX
