Perch - Always On Video Portal app for iPhone and iPad

Perch is designed from the ground-up to be always-available to virtually connect office spaces and facilitate natural, unscheduled face-to-face communication among teams - regardless of physical location or time zone. Perch has a bunch of smart, polite features built-in to the software that emulate what it is like to work in the same office environment. Once connected, companies using Perch say that it has reduced their weekly conference calls, need for meetings and made them feel more in sync as a team.

Perch is super simple to set-up and works best on a dedicated iPad. Once installed, you can:

• Mount a Perch iPad on a wall in your offices to create an always-on video portal between spaces. A portal is like a virtual window into another office, room, or floor that enables you to see people in different locations, wave hello, and enjoy spontaneous conversations throughout the day.

• Even when you are not in a live connection, you can still see online portals and ambient activity in each location. Simply tap once on a portal to instantly communicate with your team members or pop-in to the office. No need to dial a number or schedule a call.

• Invite anyone to connect face-to-face using the Perch ShareLink. The Perch ShareLink is a unique URL that let’s anyone request access to your Portal via the web. Once a user clicks your ShareLink, you will receive a live request to connect on your Portal that you can accept or ignore. If you accept the request, you will instantly be connected live.

• On your iPhone - Download Perch on your iPhone and pop-in to company portals while traveling or on-the-go!
