Future of Meetings

Last year brought a lot of change in how and where we work. I’m sure at some point or another we all took a turn working from home or had an increase in virtual meetings. Either way, we’ve already seen businesses using more remote options and relying on audiovisual equipment even more. 

We don’t see remote business options going away any time soon as people are finding them quick and convenient. So, how do you know if your meeting rooms or huddle spaces can keep up with your needs? The great news is that as the AV industry advances there are lots of easy-to-use, affordable options to give you the right components to create your ideal meeting space. We work with schools and businesses to make sure their specific needs are met.

A great place to start is Audio. It can be frustrating to deal with bad audio in the middle of a meeting. There are many meeting room speakers available to make sure everyone hears crisp audio throughout the meeting room. It is also important that when people are calling in for a remote meeting or listening over livestream that they can hear what’s being said. We love the Stem Audio solution that is almost as simple as a “plug and play”! The Stem Ecosystem is a toolbox of five networkable products such as speakers and controls that can be mixed and matched into any size meeting room. It is an easy setup system that allows you to use as many units as you want with the option to add later. This is a great feature to make sure you have excellent audio for your conference spaces. It is a great option to provide consistent audio throughout, from your main presenter to remote callers and in-person attendees.

Sharing content is another important part of a meeting space too! Now, with remote workers, this means you may need to share content in person and remotely at the same time. Even just reading that you may be cringing at the headache usually involved in sharing content, but it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, one of the products we love here at Lambda is Klik. Klik allows easy sharing to multiple devices from your own device!

Lastly, we have all done a few more video meetings this year than ever before. More than likely, we will see video conferencing stick around for a while. If this is the case for you, it’s important to consider the type of video quality you need. This could be considering the cameras you are using, your network, or depending on your business, lighting needs. Whether you are teaching a remote class, producing a video podcast, or collaborating with your teammates, having the right tech to support your workflow will not only make things easier for you but may help promote productivity and inspiration!
