Video is emerging as the ultimate communication solution.
Capable of mimicking all the nuances of face-to-face interactions, video offers a convenient and cost-effective replacement for in-person meetings and travel.
Video can also support employees in a remote workforce when context in a conversation with team members is essential. The good news for today’s companies is that they no longer have to spend a fortune on large and complicated meeting rooms to access all the benefits of video conferencing.
Today’s meeting room has shifted towards a smaller space. The huddle room is a small, convenient area with plug-and-play video, audio, and content sharing equipment. These rooms are excellent for impromptu meetings and quick conversations.
