Read on to learn how Simply Video works seamlessly with essential business software.
Cards on the table: we reckon SimplyVideo is the best video conferencing solution around, especially when XR devices are involved.
Sure, we made it. But that's by the by. We reckon if you did a blind "taste test" of several video apps, SimplyVideo would get picked faster than a double-chocolate sundae.
But we'd be the first to admit – it can't do everything.
And we wouldn't want it to. As any software developer knows, feature creep can be deadly. We'd rather focus on the things SimplyVideo is good at – like empowering frontline collaboration and knowledge sharing – than try to do everything at once.
As they say, too many cooks spoil the broth – and too many features make apps bloated, slow and hard to use.
So what do you do when you need a feature that isn't supported? Simple: integrate, integrate, integrate.
We've developed dozens of integrations to ensure SimplyVideo can work beautifully with popular pieces of software and hardware. This means it's easy to add functionality where needed or build SimplyVideo seamlessly into your existing workflow.
Let's explore a few of them…
Software integrations
We get it. There are some pieces of software that you just can't live without.
Perhaps your team is already familiar with a video conferencing app. They know the UI like the backs of their hands, and they'd probably make you walk the plank if you tried to make them learn a new one.
Or maybe your business relies on a particular productivity solution. It's the beating heart of your daily operations. You need your video conferencing software to play ball with it, or it might just be a dealbreaker.
Not to worry. We want SimplyVideo to work with your business, not against it. So we've thought long and hard about how SimplyVideo can tag-team with popular business applications.
Here's the full list of software integrations at the time of writing. However, we're developing new integrations all the time, so make sure to check the SimplyVideo website if you don't see the solution you need.
Video conferencing apps
Microsoft Teams
Integrating with SimplyVideo means you can join Teams calls using any SimplyVideo-supported smart glasses. This means you can deploy our transformative XR (extended reality) technology on the frontline, while office staff continue to use the familiar Microsoft interface.
Google Meet
As with Teams integration, bringing SimplyVideo on board lets you harness XR devices with Google Meet.
Zoom
Zoom is a very popular app, so it's likely that certain staff or stakeholders will prefer to use it for all video meetings wherever possible. Good news for them: SimplyVideo integrates seamlessly with Zoom, allowing users to join SimplyVideo calls directly from their Zoom dashboard.
Skype for Business
Are meeting participants used to the Skype for Business infrastructure? Let them dial into any SimplyVideo call, fuss free.
Pexip
Pexip integration is rather special, for two big reasons.
Firstly, integration allows Pexip customers to access SimplyVideo's industry-focused features, such as XR device support and low-bandwidth streaming technology. Plus, the platform can be entirely customised to match your branding. Neat.
Secondly, deploying with Pexip is the only way to install SimplyVideo on premises. This makes it a great solution for enterprise customers who want total control over their cybersecurity safeguards.

Productivity apps
Google Calendar
Using SimplyVideo, you can schedule calls straight into your Google Calendar. This means there's no need to switch between apps to keep your diary in check. Remember: those small time savings quickly add up!
Outlook Calendar
Same story here. If you rely on Microsoft's calendar service, you can save time by scheduling calls directly into Outlook.
Intoware WorkfloPlus
In case you're unaware, WorkfloPlus is a productivity management suite designed especially for XR wearables – though it works beautifully on desktop and mobile too. By integrating SimplyVideo, you can streamline your workflows even further, making SimplyVideo features available right from the WorkfloPlus dashboard.
JourneyApps
JourneyApps lets you create voice-controlled workflows on XR devices. This means staff can stay safe and productive on site, using a truly hands-free input solution. Of course, we've made sure SimplyVideo slots right in.
Social and streaming apps
Want to share some news from the frontline? Using SimplyVideo, you can stream video from your XR headset directly to Facebook Live.
YouTube
Reach a whole new audience on the world's second-biggest website. Give factory tours or engage in Q&As, and stream the whole thing on YouTube in real time.
Twitch
Twitch isn't just for video games. A growing number of content creators are catering to wider interests, such as DIY, engineering and arts and crafts. Stream from SimplyVideo to Twitch, and you might just find an audience you didn't know existed.
Slack
Slack has quickly become one of the world's biggest instant messaging apps, with more than 10 million users logging in every day. Add SimplyVideo into the mix, and you can call office colleagues and frontline staff directly from your Slack dashboard.
Quickchannel
Quickchannel is an industry streaming platform that empowers businesses to deliver winning webinars, create customised video content and more. SimplyVideo integration means you can harness our best-in-class features while enjoying the marketing-focused flexibility of the Quickchannel interface.
Web browsers and smartphone apps
As a cloud-based service, SimplyVideo works with all major web browsers, including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Apple's Safari.
In addition, we've created easy-to-use apps for iOS and Android devices, such as smartphones and tablets. These let you join calls easily from your phone or smart glasses – simply scan a QR code on your phone's screen, and you're in!
Hardware integrations
Software is only half of the equation. That's why we've made sure to support a vast range of hardware too.
Naturally, PCs, Macs and smartphones are supported right of the box. In fact, SimplyVideo will work with any modern web-enabled device.
And – of course – we've added support for many wearable devices, including popular options from RealWear, Vuzix, Iristick and Magic Leap. Long story short, if we sell it in our store, you can be sure that it will work with SimplyVideo.
And that's just the start. SimplyVideo supports a whole bunch of conferencing devices and video phones too, including options from Cisco, Poly, Yealink and Lifesize.
We can't possibly cover them all here, so check the SimplyVideo integrations page to make sure your device is on the list. If it isn't, then chances are it soon will be!
