Here at Microsoft, we wanted to improve the experience our employees have in meetings, whether they\u2019re at home, at a coffee shop, or in a meeting room in one of our offices.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been quite the journey over the last few years\u2014we\u2019re very much in a hybrid world,\u201d says Keshav Puttaswamy, a partner director of product management with Microsoft Digital Employee Experience (MDEE), the organization that powers, protects, and transforms the company. \u201cWe place a lot of importance on flexibility. We want to make sure our employees are able to do their best work wherever they are.\u201d<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why we\u2014the company\u2019s IT organization\u2014worked with the Microsoft Teams product group to develop Signature Microsoft Teams Rooms, our new meeting room technology offering<\/a> that boosts the meeting experience for everyone, no matter where they join a meeting from.<\/p>\n \u201cSignature Microsoft Teams Rooms are a powerful tool for us to fully embrace this hybrid experience,\u201d Puttaswamy says.<\/p>\n We\u2019re all used to seeing a room with a rectangular table in the middle and a screen on one end. Those kinds of meeting rooms served us really well when we were all mostly in-person. What we\u2019re seeing with hybrid is different needs emerging for employees, and traditional rooms aren\u2019t necessarily the best experience for all meeting types.<\/p>\n \u2014Keshav Puttaswamy, partner director of product management, Microsoft Digital Employee Experience<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Designed in The Hive<\/a>, an incubation space on the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington, Signature Microsoft Teams Rooms bridge the gap between in-person and virtual meetings. We\u2019re currently deploying it in a variety of forms across Microsoft.<\/p>\n [<\/em>Get grounded in our vision for transforming Microsoft with Microsoft Teams.<\/em><\/a> Learn how Microsoft is reinventing the employee experience for a hybrid world.<\/em><\/a> Get a first look at the new hybrid meeting experience at Microsoft.<\/em><\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n
