In this blog, we’re going to explain how to use UCM6300 systems for video conferencing. Let’s get started!
Grandstream UCM6300 IP PBX Video Conferencing
The UCM6300 Series offers video conferencing as part of its VoIP ecosystem offerings. The different models offer support for different numbers of rooms and participants:
- Grandstream UCM6301 — 2 Rooms & 12 Participants
- Grandstream UCM6302 — 3 Rooms & 20 Participants
- Grandstream UCM6304 — 4 Rooms & 40 Participants
- Grandstream UCM6308 — 8 Rooms & 60 Participants
The series uses WebRTC technology for video conferencing. What is WebRTC? WebRTC is an open standard for real-time communications. It is supported by all major browsers. Because of this, team members will likely not have to download any extra application or plugin to join a secure video conference.
To setup and manage video conferences, you can go to the Grandstream UCM Series web GUI. The admin panel will allow you to enable extensions, configure settings, schedule meetings, set email reminders — and much else.
One of the primary advantages of using an on-premise IP PBX is having such granular control. But most users won’t have to worry about this.
End users can use Grandstream Wave.
Using Grandstream Wave for Video Conferencing
Along with their new IP PBX series, Grandstream has released an updated version of Wave: a smartphone app for Android and iOS and a web app for Chrome and Firefox for use on PCs or Macs.
The app integrates seamlessly with the UCM ecosystem, so you’ll have all your contacts, presence, call history and more — including enterprise class encryption.
