How to connect third party device with azure iot central - azure

I want to make my own IoT solution software through which i can control and monitor third party products using azure IoT central so problem i am facing is to connect third party cloud with azure iot central can anyone suggest me how to achieve this task.
Thanks,

To control 3rd party device/software you may need to have IoT Hub SDK / IoT Central SDK on it (client side). This will give you an option to send commands to your devices. You can find commands documentation here. Also you can use Device management API to add, remove, provision devices in IoT Central application.
You mentioned 3rd party devices in first sentence and 3rd party cloud in second. You can connect 3rd party clouds to IoT Central via Azure IoT Central Device Bridge - this is one way connection as of today, where you send data from 3rd party cloud to IoT Central.
Can you explain what kind of cloud you are trying to connect and what your expected outcome?

Azure Media Services - conference mode

I have been told by Azure sales consultant (online chat) that Azure Media Services support conferencing. I cannot find such option. I see that AMS support online streaming but I'd like also to enable other people to speak.
Anyone has such experience with AMS? Is my scenario possible?
I believe you are looking for Azure Communications Services, not Media Services.

Can ASP.NET Web Forms App be used for visualizing data from Azure IoT Hub?

I am building a POC IoT project and was analyzing various IoT cloud platforms that would suit the purpose.
Is it possible for Azure ASP.NET Web forms application to consume IoT device data read by Azure IoT Hub?
Maybe this? https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/uk_faculty_connection/2016/03/30/presenting-data-from-an-iot-device-onto-a-azure-website/
Seems to do what you are asking for though it does run on Azure which might not be what you want.

Task execution in Microsoft Azure

I am new to Microsoft azure. Is azure function app sufficient to write application logic for Desktop appllication and IOT devices or is there any other way to write logic and perform task execution in azure.
To clarify a little, are you asking if you can use Azure Function to write application logic for application running on IoT Device? If your IoT device is running Azure IoT Edge, you can use Azure Function within your module. Otherwise, you can use Azure IoT Device SDK.

Anyone integrate Particle electron to Azure IoT Central yet?

Particle's Azure IoT Hub integration needs the IoT Hub Name, Shared Policy Name, and Shared Policy Key. The connection string in IoT Central gives the Key, but I have not been able to guess what the hub name and policy name are to be able to pipe my Particle cloud data into IoT Central.
Would be nice to have, that'd be the ultimate for quick up and running proof of concepts!
Azure IoT Central recently released Device bridge which is an open-source solution that connects Sigfox, Particle, The Things Network, and other clouds to your Azure IoT Central app. You can access the open source solution from Github.

Integrating Azure platform with other cloud providers

I am trying to integrate my azure solution with different cloud providers. I need to pull data from different cloud providers. They will expose the data via Rest services. I need to pull the data and publish it to my Azure platform. I am thinking of using the Azure Service Bus to pull the data and publish to an Azure Event Hub. Do you think this is better approach or any other good way to connect to a different cloud from Azure.
If the cloud providers you're trying to integrate with made data available via a RESTful API, I don't think Service Bus is going to help you. To make use of Service Bus, the third party cloud providers would need to enqueue data to a Service Bus Queue or Topic.
If you're trying to consume data periodically from RESTful APIs, how about using an Azure WebJob that calls those third party RESTful APIs on an interval, then processes the data?
