Frequently asked questions
Which Poly products are end of life?
Poly is no longer onboarding customers for its CVI service named RealConnect, which is now in maintenance-only mode. The new service is now powered by Pexip under the name CloudConnect.
Poly customers can keep using their Poly personal and in-room devices. However, RealConnect customers will need to migrate to CloudConnect for their meeting interoperability and infrastructure needs moving forward.
Support and service agreements will still remain with Poly.
How much time does it take to transition?
What about my existing meetings?
Users’ calendars, rooms' calendars, and joining capabilities like One-Touch Join are automatically updated.
What about my diagnostics and analytics?
Pexip Control Center (PCC) provides live and historical analytics so you can immediately see issues and troubleshoot on the spot.
You can also use Enhanced Room Management if you have endpoints registered to Pexip.
Can I carry over my current address book contacts?
Do I need to train my employees?
No need to retrain employees. Your users will send and receive meeting invites the same way they always have, and invites can even use your organization’s domain as the calling domain rather than m.poly.com for a more tailored experience.
Users will also join meetings exactly the same way – using the green "Join" button or dialing in from the endpoint.
Your users will immediately recognize the Teams-like layout on their video system, complete with familiar notifications and colors.
Will it work with all my endpoints?
Pexip can also enable One-Touch Join for any meeting across supported Poly and Cisco devices.

- UC / VTC Administrator
- DNS Admin
- Firewall Admin
