When You Need an A/V Edge Server

Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 and Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 will reach end of support on January 9, 2018. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

Add an A/V Edge Server if you want to make it possible to share audio and video with external users, such as vendors or employees who are working from home. With an A/V Edge Server, users can:

  • Add audio and video data to meetings with external participants.

  • Share audio and video directly with an external user (point-to-point).

An A/V Edge Server provides a single, trusted connection point through which media traffic enters and exits your network.
