About this session

DSP, Dante, AEC, beamforming, ceiling array versus bar: AV has its own vocabulary, and IT people who end up responsible for meeting rooms rarely get it explained in plain English. In this LinkedIn Live, Microsoft MVPs Tom Arbuthnot (Empowering.Cloud) and Josh Blalock (Shure) go through it.

They'll cover the terms you keep hearing, which Shure kit goes with what and for which room sizes, where Teams-certified audio fits with Teams Rooms on Windows and Android, why 'it connects' isn't the same as 'it's certified', and managing device firmware and inventory across lots of rooms.

Shure sponsors it, so the examples use Shure's range, but the jargon explanations apply whatever you buy.

Who it’s for

IT managers and admins who've inherited meeting rooms and AV without an AV background.
