Connect Tutorial #4: Starting a video conference with Speechi Connect

In this 4th tutorial dedicated to Speechi Connect, let’s see how to start a video conference in 3 steps.

Speechi Connect is free and available on all compatible Speechi screens.

As a reminder, it’s an ecosystem of 3 elements: an admin platform to manage your Speechi screen network, an app for each user in your organization, and a Swift Bar on the screen. Together, these three components offer you an entirely new experience using Speechi screens, centered around customization. For instructions on activating it, refer to this article.

Beforehand – Install a Windows PC on the Speechi screen

To take advantage of video conferencing on a Speechi interactive screen via Connect, your screen needs to be equipped with a Windows PC, as shown here.

Part 1 – Create your meeting on your PC (↑)
