Hello,
Here is the situation:
We have a polycom soudstation ip5000 that works great for conference calls.
On the other hand we have a webcam connected to a Mac mini.
The question is :
Is there a way to connect the soundstation to the Mac mini and use the webcam to make video calls ? With skype for example.
thank you for your help.

Hello lumi1,
welcome to the Polycom Community.
The SSIP5000 does not have the connectivity to utilize our Computer Calling Kit described => here <= so you are unable to connect the two devices together. The phones described in above links could be used to utilize the audio connectivity.
Skype utilizes a propitiatory technology that is not directly compatible with the open Video standards that Polycom supports.
Please ensure to provide some feedback if this reply has helped you so other users can profit from your experience.
Best Regards
