About the Infinity Connect Mobile client for Android

The Infinity Connect Mobile client for Android can be used by conference participants to control the conference and view presentations from their own personal device, even when they are using a separate video endpoint to participate in the conference.

Users also have the ability to join a conference over audio-only, or as a full audio and video participant, allowing them to participate in a conference from anywhere they have an internet connection. Android clients can also register to Pexip Infinity allowing them to receive calls and use enhanced directory features.

Most standard Infinity Connect features are available to Infinity Connect Mobile client users, along with these additional features:

  • View the presentation on their personal device.
    • Video participants can elect to use their video endpoint just for viewing other participants, while viewing the presentation on their device - essentially providing them with a dual-screen video system.
    • Audio-only participants will be able to view the presentation on their personal device, enhancing their conference experience.
  • Decide where they want to view the presentation: on their mobile device, on the video endpoint, or both.
