The entire LifeSize 220 Series, LifeSize Unity Series and LifeSize Passport video systems are fully interoperable with Microsoft Lync, through the LifeSize UVC Video Engine for Microsoft Lync, including registration, presence and click-to-call functionality, enabling HD video collaboration with any Lync enabled computer. Now the LifeSize Team 220, one of the first H.264 room–based video endpoints qualified by Microsoft in the Lync 2010 Video Interoperability program, expands the LifeSize Microsoft Interoperability further.

The integration of LifeSize HD video conferencing products with Microsoft unified communication platforms enables users across the enterprise to seamlessly connect over video from LifeSize systems to the desktop and vice versa. Organizations of all sizes will be able to scale video collaboration capabilities cost-effectively to meet communication and productivity objectives.

LifeSize’s interoperability with Microsoft platforms means that customers can enjoy a variety of communications services—email, video, chat or phone—from one single user interface. Colleagues, customers, partners and other business users can keep in touch with anyone, anywhere, regardless of location—the meeting or conference room, home office or somewhere on the road—from any PC.

LifeSize’s solution qualification means comprehensive support for Microsoft Lync, including support for:

• Authentication and encryption (TLS/SRTP) for secure, reliable communications
• Support for firewall/NAT traversal via Microsoft® Edge Services to ensure issue-free calling across organizations
• Auto-configuration to Lync to simplify deployment
• Unified presence status with the ability to place and receive calls from one Lync account among multiple devices (PC or a LifeSize system)
• Addition of LifeSize systems to contact lists in the Microsoft Lync view
• Easy placement of calls from LifeSize qualified video systems to third-party systems within the Lync environment, using commonly supported video and audio codecs
