Enterprise video conferencing has revolutionized communication and knowledge flow across organizations. From corporate broadcasts to employee training and knowledge sharing, enterprises in all industry verticals are leveraging the power of video to increase collaboration, engagement, productivity, and hence ROI.
The video is also emerging as a powerful tool for businesses to connect with external stakeholders such as partners, investors, and customers across geographical boundaries.
For wide-ranging video streaming use cases, contemporary organizations need live and on-demand video streaming. While live video is commonly used to collectively address a large audience or engage viewers in real-time. On-demand videos are often the best for offline viewing of recorded content or self-paced learning.
The growing use of video in organizations now necessitates that employees have access to a comprehensive yet easy-to-use streaming media solution that executes end-to-end video streaming, i.e., from its capture, storage, processing, management, and sharing, to the point of video delivery on all user devices.

Live Streaming Cisco TelePresence Meetings with VIDIZMO
For instance, in the case of Cisco TelePresence, VIDIZMO takes live video streams from different telepresence endpoints or recording sites, consolidated in Cisco TelePresence Unified Communications (UC) Manager using communications protocols such as SIP or H323.
The live streams are pushed via Cisco TelePresence Content Server to VIDIZMO Streaming Servers and eCDNs using RTSP or RTMP streaming protocols.
Following this, VIDIZMO eCDN distributes live video to all devices for geographically dispersed users via unicast, multicast or P2P for efficient delivery, making all live videos available for playback and viewing by all authorized users VIDIZMO’s video portal.
As a result, VIDIZMO can securely broadcast live telepresence meetings, CEO broadcasts, multimedia presentations, lectures, training sessions or even events to a broad audience – all via VIDIZMO’s video platform accessible to internal and external shareholders from all devices, browsers, and bandwidth conditions.
Recording Cisco TelePresence for On-Demand Storage and Playback with VIDIZMO
For a video on demand, VIDIZMO utilizes its Publisher Tool to automatically retrieve and publish all video recordings in mp4 format via an FTP or UNC path from Cisco TelePresence Content Server to the VIDIZMO publishing server.
The recorded video files are then transcoded and stored in VIDIZMO Content Server. When a user clicks to watch a video, the request is routed via VIDIZMO eCDN to the nearest edge server for streaming to any number of users anywhere, on any device, and in varying bandwidth conditions.
All on-demand videos from Cisco Unified Communications System are automatically ingested, transcoded, indexed, transcribed, and stored in VIDIZMO’s video repository from where users can search, manage, edit, view, and share the video files.

VIDIZMO also provides seamless integration with recent online meeting or video conferencing tools such as Cisco WebEx, Skype for Business, Go-To-Meeting, and Go-To-Webinar, commonly used by modern enterprises for introductory video conferencing needs.
