Polycom On Demand

While Polycom aims to make using its equipment as easy as possible, we recognize implementing a video conference or telepresence system for the first time can be a bit intimidating. And even for those customers with years of experience, the idea of learning about best practices in the use of video conferencing can be helpful as well.
