TrueConf Server

TrueConf Server is a video conferencing tool that allows connections across LAN and VPN networks. Targeting the business environment, the server can sustain up to 250 client connections in a virtual meeting and run multipoint conferences with up to 25 participants, breaking geographical barriers and encouraging teamwork.

As mentioned above, the application is based on a server-client architecture, enabling both Windows, Mac OS and mobile clients to connect to a running server. Pre-configured client applications are also deployed in the same package, so the server administrator only has to share the download link or the guest page.

Configuring the server is pretty simple, thanks to the web-based interface. You should have no problems getting around with the dashboard, which makes it easy for you to monitor the server status, manage users and groups, create aliases, and download client applications. Advanced users can tamper with the network settings (SMTP, SIP and H.323 gateways), limit the access of specific IP addresses to the server, view connecting endpoints, and change security options.

The client application enables peers to access the server, provided the connection parameters are correct. Two or more client applications can perform video calls and make use of the additional collaboration tools to work together on projects. To be more specific, TrueConf Client features file sharing and remote access options, alongside a whiteboard that can be used by many client apps to sketch ideas and plans. Participants can record their video conference and take snapshots of the screen, view photo slideshows together with others, and chat using the integrated instant messenger.

Group conferences can be initiated both from the server's dashboard and from the client's interface. TrueConf Server supports both symmetric (all participants can hear one another), asymmetric (only a lecturer can be heard by others, who, in turn, can hear all the other users - useful for teachers), and role-based conferences.

TrueConf Server is more than a simple video conferencing tool, it is a robust and scalable communication platform with advanced features and tools that facilitate remote connections and team collaboration. Its versatility is amazing, since it can even allow remote users to join in a conference via WebRTC in a web browser, without requiring a client installation.

Deployment and setup take little time, and server management is easy, thanks to the web-based dashboard. TrueConf Server users can stay connected to their team no matter where the job takes them.
