Introduction
At a glance, Microsoft Teams Rooms is a dedicated set of systems or hardware, typically installed in rooms where enhanced and higher-fidelity video conferencing is needed. For example, you can install one in a meeting or board room. Plus, Microsoft Teams Rooms are managed through a central, Microsoft Teams-compatible device in the cloud.
Here’s a deeper look at Microsoft Teams Rooms and how businesses may benefit from it.
What is Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR)?
MTR systems are more or less an evolution of the Skype Room System Version 2. Microsoft asks vendors to exclusively produce the hardware, with the only underlying distinction being that MS hand-picked the necessary hardware up front.
MTR systems are capable of transforming the average meeting room into a spatially rich, video-powered collaboration space. It’s considered by many organisations as a complete, end-to-end collaborate solution where the best of HD video and audio is at your fingertips in the meeting room. Also, it allows you do everything from making calls and sharing content to record sessions and collaborate with participants across different offices. All of this from a simple yet intuitive touchscreen.
