## Resource

We keep upgrading the tech but are we fixing the experience? That’s the real question behind today’s “broken” meeting rooms and maybe it starts with one simple shift: audio first, not video first. If people can’t hear clearly, nothing else matters. At the same time, third-party plugins promise efficiency but at what cost to network control and security? The video version of this podcast can be found here. Host Tim Albright and his panel of AV industry experts bring you another essential AVWeek episode, tackling why meeting rooms still frustrate users, why an audio-led approach is critical to better collaboration, and how IT managers should evaluate third-party plugin ecosystems without compromising performance or security.
