Videoconference – Consulting, Planning and Realisation

Positioning cameras, monitors and microphones correctly

The elementary components of video conferencing technology include cameras, monitors and microphones. Make sure that you have the optimum positioning and a sufficiently large number of available components. This applies especially to monitors and microphones.

Requirements for the monitor

In order to be able to concentrate fully on the content during the video conference, high-quality images are a prerequisite. These provide above all technologically powerful and large monitors. Particularly when presenting several graphics or other information in the context of picture-in-picture display, the available monitor surface is often too small. Therefore the use of a second monitor is often advisable.

The conference room is often the first starting point for the desire to be equipped with video conference technology. The fixed or mobile room system is the most natural way to experience video conferencing in addition to telepresence. Your conversation partner sits face to face with you in roughly the same size, you talk freely and experience video conferencing to perfection.

Whether you are conferencing with only one or several participants at the same time, technical advice and implementation is reliably provided by us.

Today, a video conference is no longer bound to rigid rooms or telephone lines. It should work between room systems, mobile phones, desktop workstations in the office or at home and between systems from any manufacturer.

And usually without ongoing connection costs in perfect HD quality. So you can experience every emotion of your conversation partner. With perfectly planned systems, we manage to make you forget after a short time that you are not sitting in the same room.

The Huddle Room is also the video conference room in many companies. Its design and equipment make it the ideal setting for developing and continuing innovative ideas and efficient solutions. More and more often, teams retreat into this room, develop their ideas undisturbed and then present them to an external group of people in a video conference. But what exactly is behind Huddle Rooms?

Huddle Rooms – Definition

Huddle is a term from the sport, especially American football. Here the team stands in a circle, grabs each other by the shoulders and discusses further game tactics. In principle, nothing else happens in Huddle Rooms, where the teams meet with clients for spontaneous or planned exchanges of ideas, brainstorming or project consultation.

Huddle rooms are usually small rooms for working groups of three to six team members. Rooms that are often empty or hardly used in many companies. With a Huddle Room in your company you promote teamwork, the skills of your employees and result-oriented working.

Huddle Rooms offer numerous advantages

The unbureaucratic and team-oriented working meetings of the members of a team in the Huddle Room bring numerous advantages. The group meets much more frequently for a quick and efficient exchange of ideas. This continuous sharing of ideas, their presentation and the activities derived from them make an important contribution to successful team building. After all, the close cooperation motivates and promotes fun at work. This in turn has an effect on the productivity of the individual team members.

An equally weighty argument for Huddle Rooms is the concentration of the working group on one topic. Because in this room, everyone is sufficiently far away from their actual workplace and thus also from the distractions and disturbances associated with it. This situation and the creative working method in the Huddle Room promote concentration, creativity and the quality of the results.

If the Huddle Room is equipped with a video conferencing system, the teams often supplement their collaboration with external participants. This can be the customer himself, who is actively involved in the development process, employees from more distant company locations or external consultants.

Huddle Rooms equipment

The furnishing of these rooms is based on the requirements of teamwork. This includes a video conference system as well as a sufficiently large (round) table.

Usually a large central table dominates the room and offers sufficient working space in every situation. Make sure you create a relaxing atmosphere in the Huddle Room. Comfortable chairs, stools, perhaps a cosy seating group or even cushions on the floor complement this basic equipment and transform the surroundings into a modern and relaxed workplace. A situation that has a particularly motivating effect on employees and thus enhances performance.

As practical and indispensable as the digitalisation of our workspaces is, the Huddle Room also includes analogue work aids. Flipchart, whiteboard magnet boards and a set of moderation cards and thick felt pens should be standard.

According to the motto “Bring your own device”, a WLAN connection is indispensable in these rooms in order to bring ideas into shape together, present them or introduce them to a wider audience via video conference.

Huddle Rooms are modern workplaces that encourage team building, provide a modern work environment and make employees enjoy their work, thus increasing their productivity.
