Kick-Start Business Meetings with Cross-Platform Web Conferencing

ISL Groop Web Conferencing app now on AndroidJust 2 months after the iOS release, we are proud to announce that our web conferencing software, ISL Groop, has just become a complete cross-platform solution for businesses. We have introduced support for the last major operating system in line, the Android. ISL Groop now enables businesses to spontaneously conference from anywhere on a device available at the moment (PC, Mac, Linux, iPad, iPhone, an Android device).

Get ISL Groop for Android for free on Google Play.

Inside a web conference, regardless of the version participants are using – the Windows, Mac, iOS or Android, high quality video conferencing and live content sharing craft a smooth meeting experience. While high-level business meetings require at least one person on a desktop computer to moderate the content of the online event, mobile collaborators can easily create a new meeting, invite people and actively participate through a video conference and text chat.
