Appspace Integrates Digital Signage Solution with Microsoft Teams Rooms for Enhanced Workplace Collaboration

Tech company Appspace has unveiled a cutting-edge integration of its digital signage technology with Microsoft Teams Rooms to elevate collaboration and engagement in the workplace. The initiative is aimed at revolutionizing interactions within meeting spaces, propelling them from static to dynamic environments.

With this integration, Appspace seeks to transform Teams Rooms devices into active communication hubs, displaying a range of digital content alongside essential room information like the calendar preview and room name. According to Thomas Philippart de Foy, Appspace’s Chief Innovation Officer, this move is geared towards simplifying technology use for employees, enhancing productivity, and maximizing investments in workplace tech.

The integrated solution provides centralized content management for organizations, offering seamless sharing and global control over playlists and information displayed in collaborative spaces. This setup ensures consistent and up-to-date information delivery to employees and visitors, ultimately boosting workplace communication and engagement.

Albert Kooiman, Senior Director at Microsoft, notes the critical role digital signage plays in keeping employees informed and connected in the ever-evolving hybrid workplace. The collaboration between Appspace and Microsoft demonstrates a shared commitment to enhancing the employee experience within meeting spaces.

Appspace’s integration with Microsoft Teams Rooms was a vital addition to the Appspace for Microsoft suite, which was launched last year. This integration aims at fostering seamless workplace experiences for employees, irrespective of their work setting – be it in-person, hybrid, or remote.

Microsoft recently announced major updates to its Teams Rooms intelligence, introducing features like intelligent meeting recaps and the innovative Team Copilot. These features are tailored to enhance meeting experiences by providing insights, summaries, and action items derived from call transcripts, promising a more efficient and productive collaboration environment.

In the tech world, Microsoft has rolled out the Room Controls for Microsoft Teams on Windows OS, allowing users to automate in-room meeting and presentation processes. These advancements further solidify Microsoft’s commitment to integrating intelligent tools into collaborative spaces, aiming to streamline productivity and communication.
