Boost Microsoft Teams with a Room System

Learn how Microsoft Teams Room systems lower IT cost, boost hybrid meetings and add AI, transcription and whiteboards.

Microsoft Teams room system

There's nothing quite like a crisis to reorder our lives. For everyone, the Covid pandemic was the perfect storm. It wasn't just a health crisis. It upended everything - including when, how and where we worked.

Crises have consequences. Today the remote and hybrid work model is the new normal. Whereas pre-Covid, it was a farfetched notion that millions of workers would opt - demand actually - to work from home. The pandemic did indeed change everything.

But it was only possible with powerful collaboration and meeting platforms. Companies with market-proven unified communications platforms were suddenly thrust into a crucible of surging demands for their solutions.

And The Winner Is... Microsoft Teams

Success is where luck and preparation meet. And for companies like Microsoft with unified communications tools, it couldn't have been better because the Covid crisis was a boon beyond their wildest expectations.

Today, more than 270 million people use Microsoft Teams monthly. That's no small feat. Leave it to Microsoft. It doesn't squander a crisis.

Bounce Back from the Pandemic. Can We Talk; Here; Now?

Once upon a time, meetings and presentations were held in large boardrooms and corporate meeting rooms. No more.

Welcome to the post-Covid era. Remote conversations are more spontaneous, more agile and more flexible. In the spark of a moment, attendees join a meeting from all over the world.

Welcome to The Room

Gone are the days when companies spent significant IT budgets on meeting room hardware. Room systems today provide a simpler, more efficient alternative.

Room Systems offer comprehensive tools to enhance existing collaboration software and meeting tools. For instance, a Microsoft Teams Room system provides everything to launch a presentation in seconds and turn any space into a conferencing hub.

Turbocharge Microsoft Rooms

With Room System tools, businesses can easily connect remote workers. Its simplicity is its appeal. Better still:

  • The best room systems require fewer IT professionals and engineers.
  • Administrators remotely control and deploy software updates.
  • Connected room system tools track metrics about room use.
  • Everyone has real-time access to the same features, including video streaming and shared screens.
  • IT investment is lower by integrating new technology with existing hardware.
  • It's simple to scale. With a Room System, expand by adding microphones or cameras.
  • Broad feature sets like real-time translation and transcription, digital whiteboards, and AI assistants are available.

Room systems include:

Control panel: Sets up a meeting room, invites remote employees and can book rooms for later.

Meeting software: Includes licenses for Microsoft Teams and integrations to tools you need to work within the Microsoft Teams.

Audio technology: Noise-cancelling microphones and high-quality speakers.

Video streaming tools: Meeting room cameras that capture the entire conferencing space with HD image quality.

Accessories: Includes additional whiteboards allowing participants to sketch ideas on a digital screen.
