Native interoperability with conference room systems

TrueConf users can extend a consistent enterprise experience across their conference room systems thanks to native integration with third-party video conferencing endpoints and MCUs via SIP or H.323. With Zoom you can also call or invite SIP/H.323 endpoints to video meetings; however, this option is available only upon purchasing H.323/SIP Room Connector which requires a dedicated PC or virtual machine for each connector in a hybrid deployment scenario. In contrast, you can gather up to 100 endpoints in a group video conference with TrueConf Server and just a regular CPU.

Video Layouts for any Streaming

TrueConf offers advanced functionality for professional online streaming. You have the ability to customize layouts, pin the speakers' video windows, and even add the corporate identity. At the same time, Zoom lacks many features for working with layouts.
