Latest headlines: Is Zoom the Apple of the AV Industry? Gary Kayye thinks so. We also have all the news from Zoomtopia, as well as other news from VuWall, Extron, RTI, Vivitek, Uteology and more

October 24, 2019 | Volume: 10 | Issue: 20

 
We solemnly swear this is not a Zoom newsletter. But, all the same, Zoomtopia was last week, and we’re just a little excited about all the new releases and collaborations. We’re talking an expanded platform, a Crestron solution with Zoom Rooms functionality, a meeting room system with Neat and the list goes on (and on and on and on). We have all the deets below.

In other news, T1V, Inc. held a webinar today to introduce the company’s HubVC product. We can’t stop talking about it, but in case you haven’t heard, it’s a collaboration board that allows for wireless screen sharing, whiteboarding and video conferencing: aka — a game-changer for small meeting rooms. Gary Kayye did a tutorial video a few weeks ago, and the product has only gained traction and media attention since then. Something T1V brought up in the webinar was discussing what makes them different from other companies — and I’d argue the difference is that the company offers software solutions rather than hardware ones. Sometimes fewer pieces of hardware make collaboration easier! If you missed this webinar, the next one will be on Nov. 14, so keep a lookout.

Enjoy the rest of your week, #AVtweeps!

COLUMNS

 

+ Zoom Is the Apple of AV, Cisco Is Microsoft and Poly Is Motorola [Gary Kayye]

All of the eyes in AV were looking at Zoom yesterday. If you don’t believe me, look at the social stats of tweets and LinkedIn posts about Zoom Video Communications, Inc. in and around Zoomtopia 2019. The company dominated the AV-sphere yesterday, raking in about 55% of the total AV discussion online over the past 24 hours. These numbers are in line with Apple’s keynote numbers.

+ The Ripple Effect — Your Premeeting Chatter Matters [Christopher Jaynes]

The science of meetings is fascinating. How do we best communicate with one another when we find ourselves sitting across from each other in a conference room? How do we solve problems, build confidence in one another, share? It’s an interesting area of our lives to explore — particularly because the workday is composed of a series of meetings where (I hope) we’re trying to have meaningful impact.

+ Zoom Announces Expanded Platform, New Technologies at Zoomtopia 2019 [Steph Beckett]

Zoom Video Communications just announced at Zoomtopia 2019 (its annual user conference) that major additions are coming to its software platforms. All of these will be become available on the platform by the end of January 2020.
