Solutions to Solve Video Conferencing Fatigue

The Benefits of Working With a Crestron Dealer for Your Conference Rooms 

As a Crestron dealer and leading technology integrator for 40 years, our team at Alliance Telecommunications has witnessed immense changes in videoconferencing in recent years. What went from dedicated rooms with in-person conversations transformed into digital spaces and online meetings. Even today, Gartner estimates that by the end of 2023, fully remote and hybrid workers will account for 71% of the U.S. knowledge workforce. 

This may explain why we have a new term for those who frequently participate in online meetings: “videoconferencing fatigue.” During hybrid meetings, virtual attendees often feel disengaged and not a part of the conversation between in-person staff—whether that’s from missing nonverbal cues or experiencing poor audio quality. 

As Crestron often does, they came up with an answer that we’re excited to share. It’s called intelligent video technology. Let’s explore what it offers hybrid businesses today in New York City.

The Combined Powers of Crestron and 1 Beyond

When Crestron acquired 1 Beyond, intelligent video technology became integral to the video conferencing solution. It creates an equitable meeting experience where remote participants can feel like a part of the team, and in-person attendees more easily include virtual attendees in the conversation. 

Intelligent video technology allows everyone to make eye contact and see the body language and facial gestures that help them read a situation. It also makes collaboration easier for those who may have hearing issues. It’s the answer to enhanced collaboration and engagement that the hybrid workforce has been missing. 

The Technology Behind the Solution

So how does it work? Intelligent video tracks the speaker or presenter as they’re talking and offers a close-up view for remote participants. As people enter or leave a meeting room, it adjusts so that virtual attendees can see everyone in their own digital square. And, as opposed to a single camera view, it shows multiple views of the meeting room, delivering an immersive experience and allowing those viewing to feel like they’re a part of the team. 

The result is increased collaboration, engaged participants, and reduced screen fatigue. It supports a return to the team spirit that was more prominent when everyone was seated at the table. Crestron also offers cameras ideal for every unique situation, from large boardrooms to small huddle rooms, ensuring no one is left out, no matter the size of your organization. 

Effortless Video Conferencing

Combined with Crestron’s other video conferencing solutions, your team can experience an easy-to-use system that’s effortless to deploy. This includes high-fidelity audio,  wireless content sharing, and one-touch connection to Microsoft Teams or Zoom Rooms platforms. 

At Alliance Telecommunications, we’re excited to share this technology with New York businesses, supporting our clients to succeed in the hybrid workforce arena. To learn more about Crestron solutions or to schedule a complimentary consultation, contact Alliance Telecommunications today.
