Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Microsoft Teams Rooms for our video conferencing requirement in our meeting rooms. These are very helpful when interacting with our customers on a monthly basis to present them with monthly reports. Using these makes the experience very much immersive and engaging for both the parties. Collaboration becomes easy with remote parties.

Pros

  • Camera view selection is a nice feature which allows remote users to choose the camera feedback to select for better experience.
  • Live reactions like hand claps, thumbs up, raised hands,etc can be used to indicate to presenters that a meeting attendee has a question. This is cool.
  • We can connect our laptop seamlessly to the Microsoft Teams Rooms to share our content or presentation which makes things very simple.

Cons

  • We would like to see a view which focuses on each individual and places them in a separate frame for an immersive experience.
  • It should connect to the Teams app in laptop as soon as we enter the room using some medium like mic audio.
  • Low bandwidth consumption codec to be developed to allow good quality video conferencing even in low bandwidth networks.

Return on Investment

  • User collaboration between remote employees has improved causing a positive impact on employee productivity.
  • Greater employee productivity has caused greater profits to the department.
  • Employees are happy to use new technology resulting in increased employee satisfaction.
