Zoom or Teams? How to Use Both with Conference Room Technology

A table of people participate in a virtual meeting with conference room technology.

Bring Flexibility to Your Conference Rooms with BYOM 

In the new landscape of hybrid work, conferencing setups like Zoom Rooms and Teams Rooms are bridging the gap between remote and in-person meetings. Now, the entire conference table can participate in virtual discussions, seeing and hearing their remote colleagues while being captured on a wide-angle camera and HD microphones. 

But there’s one issue with brand-centric conferencing systems. What happens if your staff uses Microsoft Teams, but you’re trying to join a client’s meeting link on Zoom? 

Incompatible conferencing software has been a head-scratcher for all businesses. But now, there’s a new solution. Using “BYOM” (bring your own meeting) techniques, your  conference room technology lets meetings be ‘agnostic’ about which platform to use over conferencing hardware. 

Read on to learn how BYOM can help your business!

Conference Room AV for the Modern Workspace 

People like to complain about meetings—that they’re boring, too long and accomplish little. But meetings and conferences should be where your team sets goals, raises questions, and comes together to share their strengths toward a common objective. 

Every business owner likes to imagine that their company’s conference room will inspire hours of productivity with the walls and table covered in new ideas. But more often than not, teams aren’t focused, and the technology won’t cooperate. 

In today’s business landscape, you need conferencing technology that’s up to speed with both in-person and remote work. The best conference rooms use technology not only as a tool but to create the ideal work environment. 

As a commercial AV integrator based in the McKinney, TX, area, we help Texas businesses create collaborative and inspiring office spaces. Below, we’ll share how the right conference room AV and automation can help you make the most of your meetings. You can also learn more in our blog and monthly newsletter

The Importance of Audio & Video Quality in Your Conference Room

Return to the Office with Better Conferencing Experiences

Is your team returning to the office full-time—or embracing a hybrid model with some days remote? Many companies are excited about the prospect of being together in the office again, where personal connections and collaboration can thrive.

This is also a great time to reassess your conference room audio video. Is it built to accommodate virtual calls with remote workers or clients? Can your sound and video reach every eye and ear in larger spaces and auditoriums?

While you might be tempted to continue using the tech you’ve had for years, there are very valuable reasons why it’s worth it to upgrade to high-quality AV. Could your Plano, TX, business benefit from an AV installation? Contact Texadia Systems if you’re interested to learn more!

Audio Network Protocols for Conference Rooms: AVB or Dante?

People in a meeting room using conference room AV technology.

As organizations embrace modern AV design, many are moving away from outdated analog cabling in favor of digital audio networks that deliver far greater scalability and flexibility. In this article, we’ll be comparing Dante & AVB network solutions to help IT decision-makers and AV managers select the right system for conference rooms, boardrooms, and multi-room deployments. We’ll define each protocol, share real-world use cases, and highlight how audio networking standards shape today’s enterprise environments.

Why Shift to Networked Audio?

Traditional point‑to‑point wiring for AV installations imposes limits on room layout, cable length, and scalability. In contrast, an audio networking infrastructure leverages standard Ethernet switches and VLANs to transport hundreds of channels over a single cable. Beyond reducing rack space and cable clutter, this approach accelerates deployment and simplifies maintenance, especially in buildings with existing IP networks.

The Basics – Dante and AVB

Businesses have two leading options when it comes to IP-based audio: Audinate’s Dante and the IEEE’s AVB tool suite. Each protocol routes audio over Ethernet, but they differ in governance, certification requirements, and ecosystem adoption.

The digital workplace empowers organizations to adapt to the modern era of remote and hybrid work.

Hybrid Video Conferencing: Ensure Everyone’s Heard Loud & Clear

Four people seated at a conference room while video calling with people on a display.

Design Your Conference Room with Better Audio in Mind 

Aren’t hybrid meetings incredible? Some teams meet from the office while other participants are located elsewhere, and we can all still see and hear each other with tools like Zoom and Teams. 

If only it were that simple. In reality, many businesses need help to overcome technical difficulties with hybrid meetings. One major challenge is audio. Remote participants often cannot hear what people in the conference room are saying since the only microphone is at the front of the room. Likewise, in the conference room, the only speakers are below the display, making staff strain to hear and pay attention. 

Hybrid meetings in the conference room aren’t meant to be treated the same way as using a laptop. Instead, businesses need the proper conference room AV to create a successful collaboration experience. Here’s how we can build systems that help your McKinney, TX, business succeed.

Making Conference Room AV More User-Friendly

Two people at a conference room table participating in a video call.

Hybrid Meetings & Presentations Don’t Have to Be a Headache 

It’s a problem plaguing offices nationwide: ghost conference rooms. As hybrid work grows in popularity and we rely more heavily on technology, many businesses find it easier to join meetings individually online. With half the staff working hybrid and half in the office, conference rooms are left unused. 

But in-person meetings still offer incredible benefits. In the office, people are more likely to voice their opinions, open up, and find solutions they may not have otherwise. Your office’s conference rooms don’t have to go unused—you may just need to make your systems more user-friendly. 

Here’s how you can improve the meeting experience with more strategic conference room audio-video. And if your business is in the Frisco, TX, area, contact Texadia Systems to install these solutions today.
