Jabra has announced the launch of the Jabra Scheduler, a scheduling panel designed to simplify meeting-room bookings across the office.
This launch represents a new focus for Jabra as the AV company expands its video and collaboration portfolio into workplace management.
“The Jabra Scheduler marks an important expansion of our video and collaboration portfolio, introducing a new product category that completes our meeting room offering,”
Holger Reisinger, SVP Enterprise Video Business Unit at Jabra, said.
The Scheduler aims to make it easier for employees to find available rooms, reserve spaces, and avoid double bookings, streamlining day-to-day office operations.
Scheduling Features and Functionality
The Jabra Scheduler touchscreen, made from more than 50% recycled materials, displays real-time meeting room availability and allows users to book spaces directly from the panel or through their digital calendars.
It works seamlessly with Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms, letting users pre-book meetings without needing to interact with the touchscreen. The panel also indicates if the room is available for the full duration of a planned meeting.
Once booked, upcoming meetings are displayed in real time, complemented by an LED indicator to inform passersby of room occupancy.
The Scheduler is flexible enough to be used in rooms that don’t run on Jabra devices, allowing organizations to standardize their scheduling experience across all meeting spaces regardless of setup.
Ease of use is further enhanced by a simple setup that includes integrated cable management. Hardware supports multiple mounting options, such as flat wall, angled wall, mullion mount, or glass, and devices can be centrally managed through Jabra+, enabling updates and management across multiple locations.
Supporting Hybrid Work and Hot-Desking
The rise of hybrid work has changed office dynamics. Many companies downsized during the COVID-19 pandemic, yet as employees return, organizations often face a hot-desking reality, needing to manage limited meeting spaces effectively.
The Jabra Scheduler provides clear insights into room availability, helping companies maximize existing space and reduce the need for additional real estate.
This approach not only improves the meeting experience but also highlights the cost-efficiency of AV solutions in supporting evolving workplace models, especially as companies begin to look for value add enhancements in the age of AI.
