Modern meeting rooms are more advanced than ever, but they’re also harder to manage. Touchscreens, smart cameras, microphones, content sharing, cross-platform integrations, and new technologies are being added all the time. While these tools are designed to improve collaboration, the reality is that most internal IT teams are stretched thin and aren’t equipped to manage conference room AV at scale.
Under-equipped IT teams mean meetings get delayed, calls drop, and internal teams are providing AV support when they should be focused elsewhere.
The Increasing Demands of Conference Room AV
Meeting room technology has evolved quickly. What used to be plug-and-play is now a complex ecosystem of AV and UC tools that require continuous oversight. Hybrid work models, remote participants, and video-first meetings have raised the bar for reliability requirements.
Every room has its quirks. And with each added display, codec, or conferencing platform, the risk of something going wrong increases.
That complexity doesn’t just complicate things for end users; it puts pressure on internal teams to fix issues they weren’t trained to handle.
The last thing any company wants is an important call to drop or remote workers being unable to connect with their teams.
Common Challenges Internal Teams Face with Conference Room AV
Limited Resources and Expertise
IT teams aren’t dedicated AV specialists. They’re already managing your IT systems, networks, and security. Adding AV support on top often spreads them too thin.
Reactive Problem-Solving
Without a clear support structure, AV problems get addressed only after they’ve disrupted a meeting. That kind of firefighting hurts productivity (and trust).
Lack of Proactive Monitoring
Small technical issues don’t always trigger a support ticket. But they still chip away at room reliability. Without proper monitoring, problems go unnoticed until they become visible and costly.
Scalability Challenges
Growing a company should be a strategy question, not a tech one. As organizations grow and add more meeting spaces, keeping everything consistent becomes even more of a challenge.
Add in multiple locations, and global enterprises are left with a support gap that can severely impede scale.
The Impact of Unsolved AV Issues on Business Operations
When AV systems fall short, meeting time turns into troubleshooting time. Teams get sidetracked, projects lose momentum, and certain rooms become known for their unreliability.
A single malfunctioning morning meeting can decrease morale for the entire day ahead. Over time, that disruption erodes trust in the tools and shifts focus away from productive work.
