From weekly check-ins to annual strategy planning, some meetings are necessary at work, and others aren’t as helpful. Most meetings get set because entrepreneurs are less experienced and might not know better. Others follow legacy processes from previous managers.
The result is disgruntled employees, out-of-touch managers, and dwindling productivity. In fact, 92% of employees agree that most meetings are costly and unproductive and that 70 percent of meetings keep them from doing productive work.
With mounting unproductivity and no sight of what’s to blame, most businesses react by scheduling even more meetings, which doesn’t help anyone achieve their goals. And employees agree, viewing traditional video-meeting equipment as a poor fit for ad hoc and one-on-one meetings, citing it as a key reason for meeting delays and inefficiency.
The Solution to Better Meetings is AI
Noticing a need to transform meeting culture, Yealink, has launched its 3rd-Gen MVC Series Microsoft Teams Rooms System. As future-thinkers, Yealink was the first to collaborate with Microsoft in integrating AI technology like voice control, identity recognition, and transcription into video conferencing.
Smart Features for Equitable Meetings
Driven by AI, Yealink’s latest meeting room solution elevates collaboration to provide equity no matter how hierarchal an organization is. With Copilot integration and voice commands to initiate and end meetings, participants can collaborate intuitively and creatively.
Voice and facial recognition also identify and display participants’ names in meetings and real-time transcriptions. Whether through Multi-Stream People Feed (for regular meeting rooms) or multi-Camera Intelliframe (for larger spaces), the system cleverly tracks the latest four active speakers for seamless, natural discussions.
Flexible Deployment for a Customized Solution
When it comes to deployment, most organizations struggle with installing complicated hardware, which becomes more complicated for employees. In fact, Ovum found that 30 percent of sales professionals believe their web conferencing tools hinder sales.
To resolve this problem, Yealink adapts to the requirements of an organization offering various audio and video options, including wired, wireless, and ceiling microphones tailored to the users’ specific needs. The solution also supports wireless sharing through Miracast, AirPlay, Google Cast, and Yealink’s WPP30 wireless presentation pod for extra ease.
Bringing Meeting Rooms into the 21st Century
With most companies operating under a hybrid structure, meeting participants can be located worldwide. Today’s meeting rooms aren’t prepared for this new culture change, for large enterprises, the demand for sophisticated Professional Audiovisual (Pro AV) solutions is paramount. The right AV tools are critical, from advanced video conferencing systems to integrated control setups. With inadequate equipment and poor insight, employees feel burdened with unnecessary meetings.
Yealink is a global-leading provider of unified communication and collaboration solutions specialized in video conferencing, voice communications, and collaboration, offering organizations a specialist meeting room solution designed to meet a company’s exact requirements. Powered by AI, businesses can provide employees with a seamless flow of interaction, equity across teams, and the same level of collaboration as face-to-face communication.
