As with most disruptors, some benefits rose from the ashes created by the pandemic. Suddenly, we were faced with remote operations and businesses that needed to go on despite the challenges. Companies like Microsoft rose to the occasion, enhancing their existing products to bring teams to life, no matter their location.

Microsoft aimed to create an environment providing the best solutions for physical and virtual attendees. They strived to help remote attendees feel more physically present and connected, creating a more inclusive and collaborative experience while making it easy to connect and communicate.

The Difference Between Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Teams Rooms

Microsoft Teams is a collaboration software available with your Office 365 account. A Microsoft Teams Room is the actual physical space. It’s the room for collaboration, brainstorming, and productive, engaged meetings between remote and in-person participants. 

It combines high-definition video, crystal-clear audio, and effortless content sharing for any size business. In addition, a Microsoft Teams Room enables a seamless meeting, with everyone joining with the touch of a button. This fully scalable system is compatible with small huddle spaces or large boardrooms, allowing it to grow with your business as you expand your enterprise. 

Creating a Scalable and Optimized Teams Room Solution

At M3 Technology Group, our AV and integration experts perform a site survey to determine your exact needs before deployment. We’ll look at your existing conference rooms and potential unused areas that could be transformed into popular huddle spaces and explore your vision for future expansions. Today, almost any space can be turned into a hybrid workplace.

We’ll discuss recommended equipment and options before readying sites, deploying, and managing change and user adoption. Many collaboration and conference room spaces benefit from smart cameras, the appropriate size HD display, wireless content sharing, and interactive whiteboards allowing participants to use their touchscreen devices, including laptops, tablets, and smartphones. 

Today’s wide-angle cameras capture every detail and focus on the speakers, using artificial intelligence to provide close-up views and a dedicated video feed to show all active speakers. We’ll go over room acoustics and layout, ensuring optimal audio with in-ceiling speakers and ceiling-array microphones. AI-powered microphones follow the person talking, and in-ceiling speakers reduce echoes and distracting background noises. The outcome is full participation, no matter the location.
