Screen Share Added to Fonality Five

Fonality has announced the third installment of their Fonality Five Innovation Series, releasing a service designed to make desktop sharing even easier. The Fonality Screen Share is a cloud-based service that lets SMBs turn their Fonality business phone systems into meeting place tools in which users can share information and interact with co-workers and employees from anywhere in real time.

Screen Share is an on-demand meeting place that's fully integrated with the user’s Fonality phone system, allowing them to launch it directly from the HUD dashboard. Users can record audio through it, as well as share presentations, demo products, and help customers through remote desktop sharing on the fly. Not only that, but it's estimated to provide cost savings up to 80% from traditional web conferencing tools, while eliminating complexity from screen sharing.

Among the features included are secure streaming sessions, remote admin control, keyboard and mouse control sharing, and more. It can host up to 20 participants for meeting, and an unlimited number of meeting sessions. External guests can be invited with meeting IDs or links, while internal guests can be invited through Fonality chat automatically.

"The next stage of unified communications is collaboration, or collaborative communications, which enables dispersed groups of workers to work together using conferencing tools and advanced collaboration tools like desktop, file and document sharing, and other tools that make it easier to have meetings and more effectively share information," says Blair Pleasant, UC Expert for UCStrategies. "Our research has found that SMBs want conferencing and collaboration capabilities to communicate with colleagues in branches, remote offices, and throughout the organization, but need simple and cost effective ways to access these capabilities, and have increasingly been turning to cloud-based services. Fonality Screen Share is a way for SMBs that are generally priced out of the market to access these important collaboration tools. By accessing these capabilities as a cloud-based service, SMBs can get the capabilities they need in a simple way with minimal upfront investment."
