Movistar Home integrates Zoom video calls

Movistar Home grows in possibilities. In addition to making video calls between Movistar Home and transferring them to television, or making video calls to mobile phones with ViLTE technology, you can now connect anywhere in the world thanks to Zoom.

In its latest update, Movistar Home will integrate this functionality thanks to the partnership with Zoom Video Communications, Inc to bring its video call service to the device. Let us remember that recently, Telefónica Tech became a partner of the brand, being the official distributor of Zoom Meetings, Zoom Webinars, Zoom Phone and Zoom Rooms in the entire Telefónica footprint.

How to access or create a meeting via Zoom

The operation in Movistar Home is quite similar to what it has in other types of devices, either by joining a meeting or creating one yourself, as long as you already have a Zoom account configured.

If you want to join a Zoom video call meeting, the first thing you will need is for the host who created it to share with you a method of access to the room, either with a direct link or by disclosing information such as the meeting ID and Password. In this way, you make sure that no stranger can enter your room. Once we have accessed with whatever invitation method, we will choose the name with which we will appear on the screen and we will activate or deactivate the camera and microphone.

In the event that you are the one who needs to call a video call, you need to be previously registered and follow a few simple steps in which to configure the topic of the meeting and choose those who will participate in it if you want them to receive access links to it. It can be previously configured both from the Zoom website and from the app on any device, regardless of whether it will end up being carried out from Movistar Home.

Zoom integration in Movistar Home

Movistar Home users will be able to make video calls to any device with the help of Aura, Telefónica’s virtual assistant with Artificial Intelligence. Simply with the voice command “ OK Aura, go to Zoom ” or through the Movistar Home touch screen, users will be able to access Zoom on the device.

Its 8-inch screen allows the registered Zoom user to see their agenda and select meetings, programs and additional information. You can also turn the camera and microphone on and off at any time, and choose to see one or more participants at the same time. In addition, the device has two 5W speakers and four omnidirectional microphones, which will guarantee sufficient quality in the video call.

Telefónica will be present at the Mobile World Congress (MWC), which will be held in Barcelona between February 28 and March 3, this functionality being one of the novelties that it will present in its Digital Home proposal. If you still don’t have Movistar Home and want to try features like the one we’ve talked about today, you can order it at any official brand channel (stores, 1004 or Movistar Home website ) and receive it in less than 48 hours at your home by only 19.90 euros in its self-installable format (single payment, VAT included).
