VIDEO CONFERENCING SOLUTIONS
Our video conferencing solutions can help streamline communications and build better relationships, ensuring everyone is always connected.
Introduction to Video Conferencing Solutions
The way we work and communicate has changed forever and likely for the better. Whether you’re running a growing startup, managing a hybrid team, or working with clients across the globe, video conferencing is now a vital part of doing business. It’s not just a nice-to-have, it’s an essential business tool as important as a laptop or phone.
As companies embrace remote work and redesign office spaces, video conferencing hardware has stepped into the spotlight. Quality equipment helps teams stay connected, keep projects moving and maintain key relationships, even when you’re not in the same room.
The Benefits Speak for Themselves
- Work smarter, not harder – Meetings are quicker, easier to organise, and more focused when you can connect instantly from anywhere.
- Lower your costs – Say goodbye to expensive travel, overnight stays, and venue hire. Video conferencing meetings do the job without the overhead.
- Stronger collaboration – Remote teams can brainstorm, share screens, and work together in real time—just like they would in person.
- Better client relationships – Face-to-face communication builds trust. Video lets you stay personal and professional, even from a distance.
No matter your size or sector, a reliable video conferencing setup gives you the tools to stay agile, responsive, and connected in today’s fast-moving world.
Types of Video Conferencing Systems
Not all video conferencing systems are the same and the best setup for your organisation depends on how you work, who you’re connecting with and the level of control you need.
From fully cloud-based platforms to on premise systems and multi-platform hardware, there’s a solution for every use case.
Here’s a closer look at the key categories:
Cloud-Based Solutions
Cloud-based video conferencing has quickly become the go-to choice for businesses of all sizes. Platforms like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Webex offer the flexibility to host meetings from virtually anywhere, whether you’re in a meeting room, working from home, or joining from a mobile device.
With no need for heavy on premise infrastructure, these solutions are easy to scale and cost-effective to run. You get automatic software updates, built-in security, and seamless integration with tools your team already uses. For companies looking to move fast and stay flexible, cloud video conferencing is hard to beat.
Platform-Specific Solutions
If your organisation is already invested in a particular ecosystem, platform-specific solutions might be the best fit. For example:
- Microsoft Teams Rooms bring the full power of Microsoft 365 into your meeting spaces, offering smart AI features like speaker tracking, content sharing, and automated meeting start.
- Zoom Rooms are known for their simplicity and intuitive interface. With support for virtual whiteboards, breakout rooms, and webinar functionality, they’re ideal for interactive meetings and presentations.
These systems work best when you want deep integration with your existing tools and a consistent experience across your workplace.
Agnostic, Multi-Platform Solutions BYOD
If flexibility is key, agnostic video conferencing systems are worth considering. These solutions are built to work across multiple platforms, perfect for businesses that host meetings on different services depending on the client, project, or team.
Hardware like Barco Clickshare, QSC Q-SYS and Neat is designed to deliver professional-quality audio and video no matter which software you’re using. Whether you’re jumping between Zoom, Teams, Webex, or Google Meet, these systems offer a seamless experience without locking you into one platform.
Key Components of Video Conferencing Systems
A successful and natural video conferencing experience isn’t just about buying expensive equipment its about having the right technology designed for your environment. Whether you’re equipping a small meeting space, a hybrid training room or executive level boardroom, here are the core components that make a real difference.
Video Equipment
When teams are spread across different locations, high resolution video helps build trust, engagement and presence. Today’s video conferencing cameras go far beyond your average webcam.
Some of the latest cameras feature wide-angle lenses that capture everyone in the room, auto-framing that adjusts as people speak and move, and AI enhancements that improve clarity in changing lighting conditions. Top brands such as QSC Q-SYS, Neat, Poly, and Cisco are leading the way in camera technology with razor-sharp resolution.
Audio Equipment – Powered by QSC Q-SYS
Audio is just as important as video and arguably more so. If participants can’t hear each other clearly, communication breaks down. That’s why focus should alway go into designing a robust microphone and speaker setup.
Systems like QSC Q-SYS are designed for professional environments, delivering clean, echo-free sound with powerful DSP (digital signal processing). You can choose from ceiling, tabletop, or lapel microphones depending on your room layout and use case. Speaker options from QSC, Sennheiser and Yamaha help ensure sound is evenly distributed and crystal clear, even in large or acoustically challenging spaces.
Display Solutions
Your display setup can make or break the in-room experience. Some teams work best with single screens, while others benefit from dual displays one for video feeds, the other for content sharing.
Large-format LED displays or interactive touchscreens allow everyone in the room to stay engaged and follow along. Whether you’re running a PowerPoint presentation or reviewing design files together, the right screen setup can significantly improve visibility and collaboration.
Network and Connectivity Requirements
None of this tech matters without a solid connection.
A high-speed, reliable network is the backbone of any video conferencing system. For HD and 4K video, it’s recommended to have at least 2-3 Mbps per stream, per user.
Wired Ethernet offers stability, especially in enterprise environments, while Wi-Fi is great for flexibility and mobility.
Enhancing Meeting Efficiency with Smart Features
The best video conferencing experience isn’t just about showing up on screen, it’s about making meetings more productive, focused and engaging for everyone.
AI-Powered Auto-Framing and Speaker Tracking
In modern videoconferencing, cameras don’t just record, they respond. With auto-framing a camera will study how many participants are in a room and zoom in on the participants cutting out the parts of the room you don’t need to see.
With speaker tracking the camera adjusts its focus automatically to centre the active speaker, whether they’re standing, seated, or walking across the room. This creates a more immersive experience for remote participants and eliminates the need for manual camera controls.
Noise Suppression and Background Blur
Not every meeting space is perfect. Background noise from passing traffic to humming air con can distract and disrupt. Built-in noise suppression technology filters out unwanted sound so voices remain clear and easy to understand.
Meanwhile, background blur and virtual backgrounds help remove visual clutter, keeping the focus on the speaker, not the setting. These features are especially useful for remote workers joining calls from home or shared spaces.
Today’s platforms and hardware come packed with smart features designed to streamline the meeting experience and support better collaboration.
Real-Time Whiteboarding and Collaboration Tools
Modern collaboration means more than just talking, it means sharing, sketching, planning, and building ideas together in real-time.
Integrated tools like digital whiteboards (such as Zoom Whiteboard, Microsoft Whiteboard, or Miro) allow teams to brainstorm ideas visually—even when they’re miles apart. Shared document editing, screen sharing, and annotation tools let everyone participate, making meetings more interactive and actionable.
Room Usage Analytics
AV systems aren’t just passive tools—they can give valuable insight into how your meeting spaces are being used. Through room analytics, businesses can monitor occupancy, see which rooms are in high demand, and even identify underused spaces.
This data helps teams optimise how rooms are booked, reduce wasted space, and plan better for future.
Implementing Video Conferencing in Different Environments
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to video conferencing. The setup that works perfectly in a small huddle room might fall short in a large boardroom or an educational setting. That’s why tailored implementation, based on the environment and how it’s used is key to success.
Meeting Rooms
From small internal catch-ups to client presentations, meeting rooms are the heartbeat of many organisations. Video conferencing setups in these spaces need to be reliable, easy to use, and capable of supporting high-quality audio and video.
For huddle rooms, compact all-in-one videobar devices with built-in cameras, microphones, and speakers offer a plug-and-play experience. For medium sized conference rooms, more advanced systems with ceiling-mounted mics, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, and high-definition displays ensure everyone in the room and joining remotely has a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
Executive Boardrooms
When it comes to boardrooms, expectations are higher. These spaces often host important meetings with stakeholders, investors, or board members. That means the AV experience has to be flawless.
Premium conferencing systems featuring Q-SYS control integration, professional-grade microphones, and crystal-clear displays are essential here. Seamless integration with touch panels and smart control systems allows executives to start or manage meetings effortlessly. The result? A polished, professional experience that reflects well on your organisation.
Education Institutions
In education, hybrid learning is now a core offering not just a backup plan. Video conferencing enables interactive, accessible classrooms, connecting students and educators across campuses or even continents.
Features like breakout rooms, screen sharing, and live polling support dynamic lessons that keep students engaged. Combined with lecture capture tools and cloud recording, schools and universities can deliver flexible learning experiences on demand.
Healthcare Applications
In the healthcare sector, video conferencing is transforming the way care is delivered. Doctors can now consult with patients remotely, hold multi-disciplinary team (MDT) meetings and collaborate with specialists all through secure, compliant platforms.
Remote Workforce Solutions
As remote and hybrid work continue to evolve, businesses need tools that bring dispersed teams together. The right video conferencing setup supports real-time collaboration, while also allowing teams to work asynchronously when needed.
Platforms like Teams, Zoom and Google Meet integrate seamlessly with project management and productivity tools think Slack, Notion, or Miro. The result is a connected, communicative workforce that can operate efficiently from anywhere in the world.
Partnering with Leading Manufacturers
When selecting a video conferencing solution for your business, the hardware and software you choose are crucial to achieving a smooth, efficient and secure communication experience. Partnering with top-tier manufacturers ensures that your system is equipped with the latest technology, superior performance, and long-term reliability.
