Technology Record - Issue 37: Summer 2025

91 Organisations can use Huddly’s C1 and Crew devices in a variety of different meeting room styles solution yet also provides the flexibility our customers need.” While having an efficient AV system can help to improve communication, a modular approach can also bring cost and sustainability benefits for an organisation. “It’s about having a limited number of hardware devices that users can mix and match as needed,” says Teppan. “When a company reconfigures a space, they shouldn’t have to rip out cabling or buy an entirely new AV setup. With Huddly, you can reposition existing cameras, add new ones and be back up and running in minutes.” Throughout its solution development process, Huddly closely follows evolving Microsoft standards to ensure that its products are fully certified for Microsoft Teams and optimised for use within Teams Rooms. This evolution plays out in real-world scenarios at The Hive, Microsoft’s experimental laboratory for prototyping hybrid work experiences. There, Teams Rooms setups are tested across a variety of room types, from huddle spaces to large, flexible meeting environments. “We look at the kinds of experiences Microsoft is designing for, then ensure our technology can adapt to those dynamics and elevate the user experience,” says Teppan. In fact, when Microsoft set out to modernise its large meeting spaces at its Redmond campus in Washington, USA, it opted to use the Huddly Crew, citing its scalability, ease of deployment and ability to deliver AI-directed multi-use camera experiences that feel natural to both in-room and remote participants. “The future of work depends on meeting spaces that are modular, intelligent and humancentric where technology supports presence, participation and equity for everyone,” says Teppan. Teppan believes that meeting spaces will continue to develop into the new social hubs of the modern office. “For many organisations it’s become important to create an atmosphere that fosters collaboration and a social, welcoming environment,” he says. “We’re seeing a lot of companies experimenting with different types of scenarios and room designs. Aside from the classic small, medium and large meeting rooms, we are seeing soft seating, creative rooms and flexible spaces where things can be moved around and that’s where modularity becomes essential.” Find out more about the Huddly C1 at: www.huddly.com/conference-cameras/c1 Photo: Huddly
