In the last few years, Video Conference technology has exploded, and more and more large companies are investing millions of dollars annually to purchase the rights to use video conferencing services.
This boom coupled with the projected 40% growth (from 2019's 5%) of the global work-from-home workforce makes it clear that organizations must get the full value of their investment their video conferencing technology. Here are three questions that organizations should examine to find out if they are maximizing their ROI.
Are you creating a seamless meeting room experience?
Have every employee been able to walk into any meeting room and instantly launch the video conferencing system with just one touch? Here are 4 steps you can take to enhance your meeting room experience
Add a touch panel. Logitech Tap allows employees to simply tap the screen to start or join a meeting.
Supports any online conferencing application. Logitech Swytch allows anyone to plug in a laptop and join a virtual meeting room on any video conferencing software.
Increase sound quality. Consider using a conference camera like the

Are you supporting employees working remotely?
Do employees already have personal collaboration devices that help them feel more involved and present in any video meeting? Here are steps to support employees and increase meeting equity
Better picture, better sound, better hearing. Consumer-grade audio and video recorders are not ideal for business use and are not optimized for video conferencing. Logitech headsets include features every employee wants, like automatic mute, as well as features IT staff want, like certification with most software vendors. Logitech Webcam has better resolution, more frames per second, field of view and lens quality, and integration with video conferencing providers to support error-free meetings which appears.
Provide a "Work From Home" toolkit. What remote workers really want is an environment that closely resembles the experience of working in the office. One way IT can help employees is by providing a "work from home" toolkit that includes a headset and webcam for working from home with a standard mouse/keyboard/monitor standard.
At the end of the day, focusing on the employee experience will ensure that team members feel included, stay connected with their co-workers, and provide support.
Are you making IT more efficient?
Can IT admins manage rooms and equipment from anywhere?
Time that IT administrators spend on deployment, management, support for online meetings and personal devices can be saved for other more pressing issues.
For example, when employees use detachable headsets and webcams that are not certified to be compatible with the standards of the video conferencing services your company uses, this will cause a lot of trouble for employees and headaches for IT staff. As mentioned above, providing a certified and approved work-from-home kit will reduce staff need for help and simplify getting help if problems arise.
Here are three additional steps you can take to optimize your IT roles and minimize the amount of IT time spent on video conferencing:
An all-in-one solution. A new type of conference camera called "all-in-one video bars" can attach directly to a meeting room's screen and run a cloud TV service on a built-in computing device. With a camera like the Rally Bar, fewer parts mean faster installation and minimal wiring.
Increase efficiency with remote device management. With thousands of meeting rooms and equipment to manage, IT admins need to be as productive as possible. Logitech Sync was developed to make it easy for IT staff to support large-scale video conferencing while minimizing site visits and outages - all from a simple browser-based interface .
Provide simple video tutorials. It's amazing how many problems can be avoided just by distributing simple 30-second instructional videos to employees.
In short, companies should be familiar with a work environment that incorporates multiple working models, brought about by pandemic requirements that facilitate changes to employee expectations. Effective investment in meeting space is key to ensuring organizational productivity and cohesion in the coming era of change.
