Video and Screen Conferencing

Main View

Side View

HuddleIQ supports both Video and Screen Conferencing using peer-to-peer technology and WebRTC, which is regarded by most as the most secure and fastest conferencing technology available.

Videos may be displayed to the side, allowing you to continue working on the board or expanded into the main view that utilizes all available space.

Starting a video conference begins with clicking this icon, located on the bottom-right toolbar, which opens the “Start a Video Conference” window described below.

Tip: If you can not see this icon, then the toolbar has been collapsed; click the below icon to expand it.
