In the current global hybrid workplace landscape, it is more important than ever to connect those that work from home with those that are working at the office. Both personal workspaces and collaborative meeting rooms need to be optimized with the right technology to increase engagement and ensure that communication is seamless, as if everyone is still in the same room. This is also true of the conferencing platform you choose to deploy in said workspaces.
Enter Microsoft Teams Rooms.
Microsoft Teams Rooms bring a complete meeting room experience via high-definition video, audio, and content sharing to rooms of all shapes and sizes, from small huddle areas to massive conference rooms.
Why Microsoft Teams Rooms? Teams Rooms (or MTR as they are often referred to) are deployed with the following critically important aspects in mind:
Inclusive and Interactive Meetings
One of the pitfalls of video conferencing and hybrid meetings is when participants feel left out or don’t feel as immersed in the meeting as they would be in person. Microsoft Teams includes customizable video layouts, such as front row, that allows you to maximize the display you’re using by allowing you to show multiple people, share content, and chat simultaneously.
With Teams you can take advantage of collaborative whiteboarding by having participants share a digital canvas that is accessible from multiple devices. Using a content/AI processing camera, such as the Logitech Scribe, and your Microsoft Teams Room can digitally share traditional physical collaborative tools like whiteboards, post-it notes and more with remote participants.
Easy To Use
The intuitive Teams experience that you’re used to, but now operating as a fully deployed meeting space. This includes one-touch join with Microsoft-supported devices, like the Logitech Tap. These touch panel control devices will engage and control the audio and video hardware within the room, enable bring your own device (BYOD) capabilities with the option to use a personal device to join a meeting in a Teams Room. Utilizing the room remote capability in the Teams mobile app will also allow control of room peripherals integrated into the Teams Room.
Flexible
With a growing list of products and devices certified for Microsoft Teams, you can scale your Microsoft Teams Room to any size. Whether it be Logitech, Neat, Lenovo, or Bose video conferencing solutions, Teams Rooms can be deployed to run the system that will best optimize and encourage collaboration during meetings. Take, for example, the Surface Hub, a mobile cart solution that works as an all-in-one Teams Room experience delivering advanced collaboration opportunities.
With the “Direct Guest Join” feature in Teams Rooms, meetings can be joined even if they are through a different meeting provider (i.e. Zoom & Webex). Teams Rooms is available and certified on both Windows and Android operating devices.
Secured and Managed
As noted earlier, there are plenty of devices certified for Teams which means that the installed devices can be easily updated to keep systems in a secured state. Also, by using the Teams admin center, deployed Teams Rooms can be managed in one place. This includes an easy setup, inventory management, monitoring and secured delegated administration. These powerful tools enable seamless remote management and ensure that any and all issues are addressed in a timely, efficient manner.
