Audio and video conferencing

Audio and Video Conferencing

UIT recommends Microsoft Skype for Business as the enterprise campus solution for audio/ 

video conferencing. The software offers several tools to promote collaboration such as screen 

and application sharing, online meetings, white boards, audience polling, and more. Another 

important software feature is that our dedicated UH Skype for Business servers provide 

encrypted and safe delivery of confidential data. With Skype for Business, there is no need to 

forfeit the convenience of on‐the‐go communication because UIT also extends secure data 

transmission to mobile devices as well.

Online Meetings

All Skype for Business meeting invitations include a URL that enables non‐Skype for 

Business users to join a meeting in a web browser; there are no restrictions to join. 

Features of the Skype for Business Web App include:

◻ Detailed meetingroster

◻ Multi‐party instant messaging(IM)

◻ Desktop and program sharing, including giving controlto participants(available 

for Windows only)

◻ Collaboration features, including whiteboards, polls, file sharing, and 

navigating PowerPoint presentations uploaded by others

Best Practices for Skype for Business Audio/Video Conferencing

Following are recommendations when using Skype for Business for audio/video 

conferencing:

◻ Mute your audio unless you are speaking.

◻ If you have multiple people in the same room, have only one active audio device 

to prevent audiofeedback.

◻ If you are presenting information, open all files before the meeting begins.

◻ The best screen resolution for sharing content is 1024 x 768 pixels.

Skype – A Popular, Less Secure Option to Skype for Business

Skype is another well‐known video conferencing software. Because Skype services are not 

managed by UIT, the transmission of sensitive and confidential data becomes a potential 

risk for the university. If you have a need to use Skype, there are 3 main considerations and 

concerns that should be addressed:

◻ Always use the latest version of the Skype software.

◻ Disable the ability to transfer files within Skype chats.

◻ Disable the supernodecomponent.

NOTE: UIT recommends Skype for Business be used instead of Skype whenever possible.
