While many people are busy brainstorming personal resolutions for the New Year, businesses would also be wise to consider improvements for the year. One that we find is often neglected is updating AV equipment. As shown here, setting up the right AV equipment can turn your meeting room from an anxiety filled time waster, into an efficient and effective communication mode.

While people have been quick to adapt and improvise when it comes to working online and having fewer employees at the office, most companies have been slow to change their meeting room set up. This has resulted in an increased number of technical problems as users attempt to connect to the room remotely.

Almost all businesses will have dealt with poor audio feedback, delays displaying a certain user’s screen for a presentation, or struggles with having the projector work accurately during an in-person meeting. As these issues continue to mount, most people start to get a sense of anxiety when it comes to conducting meetings.

When that is the case, it is of the utmost importance that you consider updating your AV equipment and using an AV control system. An effective AV control system ties all the equipment together and lets you manage it from a single device.

Displaying a remote co-workers screen can be done with the press of a button on your end. Additionally, updating AV equipment can also reduce the amount of clutter in a room and limit the amount of work that an IT person would be required to do.

For that reason, any company that spends a large amount of time in the meeting room should make updating their AV equipment a top priority. Taking control of the meeting room and making it accessible virtually and in person will greatly improve any business. So updating your AV equipment is really a top priority for the New Year!
