Your Teams meetings will sound better than ever.

It’s fair to say that audio is having a moment. While the early 2000’s saw everyone paying attention to rapidly improving video quality, audio has come roaring back. Podcasts are more popular than ever and continue to grow, social media companies are emphasizing audio-only content, even records have come raging onto the scene again. It was only natural that with the rise of video conferencing in 2020, people and businesses would quickly look for ways to make sure they had the best audio possible.

2020 was a transformative year, due in no small part to the coronavirus pandemic. The world collectively changed the way everything was done—from conducting business to hanging out with friends and family. And arguably, no area has been affected by the pandemic more than the classroom.

Building a modern meeting room requires more than the traditional conference rooms, which really only needed some nice office furniture and comfortable chairs. The types of meetings we have and how we conduct them have changed, and as a result our meeting room design has to be updated.

The traditional conference room has long been one of the most important rooms for any business. A place for ideas to be shared, sales to be finalized, and work to be done. That hasn’t changed much over the past 50 years, but what has changed is the technology. Gone are the days where all you needed was a conference room table, office furniture, and a speakerphone. 95% of meeting rooms have minimal technology and aren’t really ready for the current shift in communication.
