Introduction to Infinity Connect

The Infinity Connect suite of clients allows conference participants to access any Virtual Meeting Room or Virtual Auditorium within the Pexip Infinity deployment. Infinity Connect users can also control the conference, view presentations, share content, and chat with other conference participants. Infinity Connect can also be used to make person-to-person calls when used in conjunction with the Pexip Distributed Gateway.

All Infinity Connect clients can make outbound calls; the Infinity Connect desktop client and Infinity Connect Mobile client for Android can also register to Pexip Infinity in order to receive incoming calls.

Infinity Connect Mobile clients require deployments with HTTPS and valid, trusted certificates. For more information, see Managing TLS and trusted CA certificates.

Infinity Connect clients are available for almost any device:

  • The Infinity Connect Web App is included as part of all Pexip Infinity deployments. It is used to access Pexip Infinity services from all of the major web browsers and provides voice, video, content sharing and viewing, chat, and conference control.
  • The Infinity Connect desktop client is an installable client, supported on Windows, OS X, and Linux. It provides voice, video, content sharing and viewing, chat, and conference control.
  • The Infinity Connect Mobile client for Android provides voice, video, content sharing and viewing, chat, and conference control.
  • The Infinity Connect Mobile client for iOS provides voice, video, content viewing, image sharing, chat, and conference control.

All Infinity Connect clients are available for free with the Pexip Infinity platform (although, as with any other endpoint, you must still have a license with sufficient call capacity before you can place calls).

When using Infinity Connect for audio or video on an iOS device, you must use the Infinity Connect Mobile client for iOS. Browser-based versions of Infinity Connect do not support audio or video when used on iOS.

See Comparison of Infinity Connect clients for details on the features that each client supports, and Comparison of Infinity Connect and other video endpoints for a comparison of how the conference experience differs between Infinity Connect users and participants using other types of endpoints.
