I had same question. @Becky-Community_Manager, RC team has been great about following up on quality issues but even they didn't know when RC Meetings was going away. Can you tell us if we will have access to RC Meetings after our changeover date, or only RCV?

Mitch, sorry for the delay in my response. My understanding is that you are not able to toggle back and forth from one to the other after you have migrated to RCV.

So I just discovered that the "better" RingCentral Video does NOT include remote control. Why was the remote control feature left out of the "better" RingCentral Video product?

Hi Robert, Thanks for pointing this out. Our Product Team is aware of this and it's currently on the roadmap. We will provide updates when there is confirmation of timeline.

As above in the comments, we are still trying to find out if RC Meetings will be available after the RC Video migration. I haven't gotten an answer here or from my account manager, who I emailed Monday night but was on a call with him a couple weeks ago and he didn't have the answer.

We have had groups on a call with RCV and have video or audio issues and they have jumped onto RCM and not had the issues. People are rightly concerned that we will be stuck if RCM not an option. I have to think the RC has a plan here--either we will still have RCM for a certain period, or we won't.

Were you able to figure out if RC Meetings will still be available?

Those moving from RC Meetings to RC Video, please test performance of meetings thoroughly. Start meeting with a few staff members, turn video ON for everyone and then start sharing screen. If your audio breaks up or have poor video performance, contact RingCentral before you go live with RC Videos.

We use RC Video and have seen performance issues across a group of users who use meetings a lot. If a presenter has video ON and they share their screen, audio distorts and meeting becomes unusable. The only workaround we have found is to turn video OFF, but that's not what users want. So, please test! We are looking for a solution from RingCentral for that problem.

What's the timeline on the upgrade, and will the SuperAdmin's be notified?

Hi Joe,

We're migrating accounts in waves January through April. Your account manager will have more details for your specific dates. Admins will be emailed with additional information when their account is up for upgrading.

The Ring Central Video is not syncing with the mobile and the desktop with scheduled meetings. This is not good as I join in from both devices to be able to do the recording and the last Ring Central Meetings was able to do this so it was very easy to join the meeting from the any device I am logged into. I thought I lost my scheduled meeting this morning that was scheduled yesterday using the mobile app but since there was no sync to the desktop application it seemed as if I never scheduled the meeting at all. I had to go to my google calendar to get the link to be able to join the meeting from my desktop. This was not the case before using Meetings application.
