Room systems today must serve multiple masters – Zoom, Teams, Webex – while staying secure, manageable, and future-ready. Can they?

The modern meeting room is at the center of a platform shift – where Microsoft, Zoom, and Cisco are designing tightly integrated ecosystems that promise better security, support, and user experience. At the same time, interoperability is improving in smart, practical ways through native guest joins, cloud video interop (CVI), and vendor-neutral integrations. This session examines how IT and AV teams are designing rooms that support multiple platforms without overwhelming users. Attendee takeaways include:

  • Understand how Teams, Zoom, and Webex ecosystems are evolving their native room experiences;
  • Learn where interoperability fits today – and how it’s improving;
  • Discover real-world strategies to support diverse platforms while maintaining simplicity.
