Now that employees are more accustomed to working remotely, making sure the time spent in the office is productive, is of crucial importance to businesses everywhere.
According to recent research, over two thirds (67%) of the workforce want more in-person collaboration as we move out of the pandemic. In turn, this has sparked a new wave of investment in collaboration tools, with 72 percent of US executives revealing they have plans to invest in support for hybrid working and virtual collaboration.
These findings are indicative of the people-centric pillars that Yealink believes are set to guide the future of meeting rooms. These pillars revolve around innovative products that meet the collaborative needs of the business, more interactive and inclusive meeting experiences, and the flexibility for employees to choose the environment in which they attend meetings.
In steps Yealink with their newly launched MeetingBoard, designed to enhance the productivity of co-creation spaces, small, medium and large Meeting Rooms, and Executive Offices, as well as classrooms and education spaces.
With its All-in-One design, display purposely made for collaborating, and high quality audio capabilities, the Meeting Board has all the features a modern workforce may need in order to hold productive and efficient meetings.
All-in-one Design for the Modern Workplace
Yealink MeetingBoard is designed to be a significant upgrade in modern workplaces under hybrid working. The smooth all-in-one device integrates the computer unit, wide 65-inch touchscreen display, 4K camera, microphones arrays, and speakers. Connecting the power cable is the only installation needed for users to enjoy easy video conferencing and whiteboard collaborating.
Native Microsoft Whiteboarding Experience
Powered by the Microsoft Whiteboarding service, Yealink MeetingBoard turns the traditional physical whiteboard into a digital one, making real-time collaboration easier. Users can enjoy jumping into a brainstorming, project planning, or problem-solving meeting with anyone by leveraging the advantage of cloud whiteboarding. The premium inking, collaborative diagrams, fluid components, and other rich content will help to boost creativity and productivity compared with the clutter of paper materials or simple meeting recaps. Most importantly, Microsoft 365 is integrated into the MeetingBoard, offering a better collaborative experience like content sharing in Teams, and opening existing whiteboards from SharePoint.
Premium Audio and Video Experience
With built-in 16 MEMS beamforming microphones and 6 speakers, the MeetingBoard supports an HD full-duplex audio experience for up to 8-meter coverage. Based on Android 10 and equipped with a powerful Qualcomm chipset, the 4K camera, with 8MP SONY image sensor, supports up to 4K/60fps video experience that ensures high quality and seamless meetings. This technology is supported by AI audio and video features that enhance the user experience. With independent audio processing unit equipped, the new generation of Yealink AI-based noise-proof technology ensures voice clarity for the open workspaces or specific scenarios like classrooms or creative shared spaces. The camera supports Auto Framing and Speaker Tracking, and Yealink is working on more intelligent video features including the multi-people feed for AI-enhanced video experience.
Flexible Solutions Cover Larger Spaces
Even though the all-in-one integrated MeetingBoard meets the need of video collaborating in huddle and small spaces, the Yealink extended device line brings more possibilities for a larger workspace. By plugging the extended 12x Pan-Tilt-Zoom camera module, or connecting the wireless microphones, the MeetingBoard upgrades the workspace with multi-angle video capture, and great voice pickup. Along with the extended devices, users can choose the general display screen working with MeetingBoard for a dual-screen video solution.
The launch of MeetingBoard is part of the introduction of two new collaboration devices for the brand new collaboration display solutions, the MeetingBoard 65 and DeskVision A24 which further completes Yealink solution for Microsoft Teams Rooms. The DeskVision A24 hosts a dual mode display, premium audio and video capabilities in the full UC Workstation. For more information on the latest collaboration solutions from Yealink, go here.
