Zoom Rooms – The Future of Hybrid Work Environments

The Pandemic of 2020 was a driving force for many U.S. companies to adopt a hybrid work environment. Increased productivity, improved employee morale, and reduced office expenses are just a few of the many benefits of working remotely.

As more and more workers left the office, it became crystal clear that they needed a set of tools that weren’t initially available. This is why Zoom, a conferencing call platform, developed what they call “Zoom rooms.”

Read on to learn more about the value and benefits you’ll get from adopting a Zoom Room working environment and how NTi can help you get started.

What is a Zoom Room?

Zoom Rooms are a software-based room system that provides integrated audio/video conferencing and wireless screen sharing. You can use a Zoom Room for room-only attendees or remote attendees joining from their desktop, mobile device, or another room.

A Zoom Room runs on the same reliable and high-quality back end as “regular” Zoom calls. However, what makes it different is that it’s built from scratch for what Zoom calls a “Room-to-Remote” cloud experience.

Simply put, Zoom rooms are designed for bandwidth efficiency. This means that your remote workers don’t need to have a $500/mo. top-of-the-line internet connection. Any home internet will work and allow your employees to remotely dial in and be seen and heard as if they were sitting next to you in the conference room.

Zoom Room Features

Zoom Rooms come with a wide range of features that will add value to your hybrid work environment:

Breakout Rooms—allow meeting participants to join a breakout room (when enabled by the host). This is an ideal feature for virtual conferences or training sessions.

Phone conferencing—take advantage of a wide range of phone features, such as:

• • SIP call in
  • SIP call out
  • Formatted PBX numbers
  • SIP or PBX 3-way calling
  • Phone call out
  • Multi-protocol support
  • Call history
  • SIP or PBX call transfer

Video—you’ll get a wide range of video functions such as Intelligent camera support, Far end and local PTZ support with serial port PTZ cameras, and Multiple camera support (switching between cameras), to name just a few.

Easy-to-use room controls—anyone can set up and host a Zoom Room and take advantage of the following controls:

• • Participant mute/unmute
  • Change layout
  • Camera pan/tilt/zoom
  • Turn on cloud recording
