Changes in Work Trends
There are changes in work trends in recent years, more organisations are transiting back to the office and hybrid work environments become the norm, the demand for efficient meeting space solutions continues to grow.
Traditional solutions often struggle to capture all participants equally, particularly those seated closer to the screen. There are even some office spaces that lack video conferencing equipment altogether. This imbalance can result in empty meeting rooms and gaps in communication, highlighting the need for solutions that provide clear, inclusive experiences for everyone, regardless of location.
Jabra PanaCast 40 VBS
