 Highfive is our new video conferencing provider, which aims to make it simple for us to meet face-to-face and collaborate wherever and whenever we want — in a conference room, at a desk, at home, or on-the-go.
-Highfive is different from GoToMeeting in a few key ways:
+==Update as of 3/17/2020==
 * No one is a host or presenter. Anyone on the call can share his or her screen at any time. A call can have up to 50 participants.
 * Anyone at MTG can start a call at any time; there is no limit to the number of concurrent calls. To join a call, others will need the Highfive application and the name of the meeting.

 In any channel or conversation, simply type the following (as its own line) and hit enter: <code>/highfive meetingName</code>. Slack will generate a Highfive meeting with that name and invite everyone in the channel. Just click the link and go!

 Once you're logged in, simply type a call name in the box and click "Go." From there, you'll be able to invite other participants, which you can do via email or by simply sharing the link to the call.

 * High-quality audio is integrated, so the days of starting a meeting and "dialing in" from the conference room are over. (Telephone access is still available for meeting participants who don't have enough bandwidth for the video meeting.)
 * Calls are portable. If you're in the conference room and need to move the call to your desk or your cell phone, you can do so without interrupting anything. All meetings will be held online (with approved access); for example, a meeting called "Annual Meeting" would be at <code>https://mtgmediagroup.highfive.com/annual-meeting</code> and anyone with the Highfive app open could join by simply typing "annual meeting" when prompted for the call name.
-Highfive also has a hardware component which will be installed in the grand ballroom. The Highfive unit includes a camera with 120-degree field of vision and four auto-focusing microphones. In addition to providing video and audio input for meetings, the Highfive device allows us to present wirelessly.
