They were the best 15 years ago. Since that time competitors have carried the torch and Vidyo is no longer relevant.

What do you like best about VidyoConnect?

Vidyo delivers a very high fidelity video conferencing experience - I very rarely have problems with video quality or freezing and when I do they're usually connection-related. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VidyoConnect?

Many of the features in Vidyo are not obvious - to the point that in my interview when I had problems with it, my colleagues joked that if Vidyo worked perfectly for me, I wouldn't be a good culture fit here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VidyoConnect solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have 10 offices globally and 40% remote employees, plus volunteer contributors, so everyone needs to be able to meet. Vidyo's been useful for us to do that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VidyoConnect?

I like the feature of having your own private room, and then a public room, that anyone can join anytime, regardless of whether I am there or not. The ability to call someone directly is nice as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VidyoConnect?

Almost everyday, I experience video or audio issues with Vidyo, as does most everyone at my company seems. We can no longer hold large company meetings on Vidyo, for fear of issues, and thus, time wasted on a company wide scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VidyoConnect solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving the problem of the remote employee being able to collaborate with the office worker. It also provided greater opportunity of face-to-face communication, rather than the constant impersonal instant messaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VidyoConnect?

The quality and ease of connecting real world rooms with digital video conferences for large groups is really great. And for each individual person to have the ability to have a room and connect with anyone in the organization makes it great too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VidyoConnect?

There are a bevy of odd quirks that make it difficult to get to the video interface. For many weeks, I couldn't even load the application until I finally found out that I didn't have a license. I wish there was a better system to help you understand what's holding the application back from launching rather than it just quitting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering VidyoConnect:

If you are just connecting computer to computer, Skype might have all the functionality you need. But with equipment in rooms, this is a good quality program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VidyoConnect solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are connecting people at different locations in real time with equipment in physical rooms and applications on computers. We know that we can connect people quickly with less drawback by using Vidyo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VidyoConnect?

I like that it's increased face-to-face communication. There are conversations that just need to happen face-to-face but can be geographically difficult to do. I like that it is not limited to just one person calling into a room. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VidyoConnect?

Searching for rooms can be difficult. If you don't have the exact room name then searching for it is nearly impossible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VidyoConnect solving and how is that benefiting you?

The organization I am a part of is across several states. Vidyo makes it possible to have increased face-to-face communication rather than sending an email or having a conference call. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VidyoConnect?

Best features are:

- easy to use high quality video conferencing over unreliable internet connections,

- virtual rooms for each user,

- browser based client for guests without need to install desktop application,

- possibility to live stream and record meetings via VidyoReplay server,

- possibility to setup different tenants for different organisations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VidyoConnect?

Live streaming and recording could have possibility to setup predefined layouts, at the moment it streams/records in 9:16 screenshare+videos and leaves a lot of empty space. Audio quality could also be better. It was a big supprise for us, that support for older VidyoRoom hardware has been dropped in new version of VidyoPortal and we were proposed buy new hardware with big discount or to stay with the current version of the VidyoPortan and refrain from upgrading. There are no possibility to recall installed licenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering VidyoConnect:

Before investing in your own infrastructure consider buying service directly from Vidyo or third party service providers. In case you need to have it on your own network, it is better to buy virtual edition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VidyoConnect solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have both this solution for all institutions in Lithuanian Distance Education Network and setup separate tenants for each of them. We using it for video conference meetings inside our university, within our network and with international partners. There are several distance education programs that are using Vidyo to communicate with students and do lecture recording. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
