All sorts of companies are moving towards a more flexible work model. Engaging employees has never been more important, whatever their location might be. That’s where modern HR software comes it — to make working together easier no matter what.
Microsoft is committed to bridging the gap between physical and digital workspaces. More than 60% of Fortune 500 companies have already selected Microsoft Teams Rooms to connect employees across the hybrid divide, and active Teams devices have more than doubled year over year.1
Microsoft is happy to announce the latest updates to Microsoft Teams Rooms, making the hybrid meetings and collaboration experience more intuitive for users. According to recent statistics, meeting experiences are no longer a good choice, but an essential element of how teams communicate and collaborate. Enabling this level of collaboration will help you be more productive in all your projects..
What is Microsoft Teams Rooms?
Meeting space solutions have a big impact on enabling hybrid collaboration. But many new systems focus primarily on the people who are physically there, instead of taking advantage of video and other tools. Less than 8% of all conference rooms worldwide are video enabled, with just 1 million meeting spaces out there equipped to take full advantage of video.
When it comes to meeting spaces, Microsoft Teams Rooms are designed to create inclusive experiences for all participants. This is accomplished by strategically mixing video and physical elements into the room. The incorporation of these features allow for a space that encourages interactive co-presence, collaboration, and discussion. With this in mind, Microsoft Teams Rooms are an ecosystem of Microsoft Teams software and certified partner hardware devices that give you flexibility when it comes to setting up your meetings.

Teams Rooms Pro is an innovative solution that will deliver meaningful hybrid meeting experiences with a focus on inclusivity, ease of use, flexibility, security and management. Here are some features that have been released or will be soon be available with Teams Rooms Pro.
Microsoft Teams helps everyone be seen and heard, with top-quality audio and video from Microsoft Teams-certified devices. With the video layout options of front row mode, noise suppression, and bandwidth optimization, it feels like remote attendees are in the room with automatic framing to capture the active speaker. Our advanced cameras bring our AI features to life, allowing remote participants to feel like they are in the meeting.
Meetings are more engaging, because participants can stay connected remotely. Features from the personal Teams meeting experience also work in Teams Rooms Pro, like seamlessly sharing content, passive reactions in chat, and raise-hand notifications. When using the classic video grid layout, chat bubbles alert in-room participants to the conversation happening alongside the meeting, so nothing gets missed.
Powerful collaboration: Real-time collaboration can be a part of every meeting for all attendees through Microsoft Whiteboard, Microsoft Surface Hub 2S, and the intelligent capture of an analog whiteboard. Easily add a touch display to enable multi-user, shared whiteboarding; or add a content camera to share augmented views into Teams meetings.
