Video calling technology on the cutting edge with Lifesize

Video connections are critical in a remote business environment. If we’re going to embrace remote work, we need video calls. That’s what Ledge talks about with Bobby Beckman, CTO of Lifesize, a formidable competitor in the video calling sector.


The major challenges of video call handling cover a range of technical challenges. Furthermore, the user experience challenges like making videos easier to join, require a huge rethinking of telecommunication norms and habits.


How do we make connecting by video easier than a phone call? How do we solve video call connection and discovery? It’s useful if we look back to the challenges we’ve already solved with phone number and email address discovery.


Returning from the meta-topics, Ledge and Bobby discuss paying off our technical debt - and how Lifesize replaced every line of code and every server -- in 2 years.
