Microsoft is killing it in this space because current conferencing technology is flat out horrible. Despite the fact we have hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of conferencing technology at my work, I'll regularly see twenty minutes wasted at the start of a meeting with someone bumbling around with a mix match of DisplayPort, thunderbolts, HDMIs and VGAs. Then the software headaches of having to install some sort of client software, create an account and find the person. The icing on the cake was a sales rep from Microsoft who invited us to a conference using third party software that required Silverlight and MSIE 10, and our Windows machine was too new. It's great something is being done in this space, but $19,999 for a problem Microsoft is largely responsible for feels like extortion.
