Hybrid meetings are here to stay. There is no arguing about it. Even before the world-changing pandemic, offices saw a growing demand for employees to work from home. According to a McKinsey survey, employees are now going to the office 30 percent less than during the pandemic

By adding or diversifying UC services to include videoconferencing solutions, MSPs can generate new revenue streams and resolve more of clients’ tech challenges.

The growth in UC-enabled meeting spaces and supporting infrastructure moving to managed services have made AV competency a critical skill for the IT channel.

With a basic understanding of acoustics and room design, MSPs can rectify audio issues without having to outsource to specialists.

As clients demand more effective hybrid work experiences, AV Managed Services offer a real advantage for IT solution providers to stand-out from the crowd.

In coworking settings, some of the most frequent complaints are a lack of audio clarity and tools for real-time content sharing and collaboration. Thankfully, a large lineup of audio visual technology solutions has emerged over the past few years to fill the gaps, drastically improve meeting quality, and further integrate video calls into our coworking spaces.

Blinking your eyes blearily between sips of coffee, you sound off at the start of the meeting to alert everyone to your presence before quickly muting yourself and booting up solitaire.

The Stem Ecosystem enables IT providers to expand their UC offering and deliver professional audio services without requiring specialized capabilities or outsourcing.

Creating a DIY conference room isn’t as easy as buying a microphone and some speakers and plopping them willy-nilly onto the conference room table and calling it a day. There’s a reason it takes weeks for professional AV teams to create fully integrated conference rooms – each room is different, and the materials, size, and layout can significantly affect sound quality during a call.

Huddle rooms are proving to be a lasting development in modern offices as the workers prefer a small and secluded space for uninterrupted, informal collaboration sessions. Just because the space is limited doesn’t mean it’s any less important to plan out the room’s layout, however - creating a slapdash DIY solution leads to poor quality calls and useless space.
