51 AI is reshaping how work gets done, and meetings are a critical source of knowledge for organisations.

AI needs to understand who is speaking, how people interact and what content is being created in the room. ClickShare Hub provides the intelligent foundation for Microsoft Teams Rooms, bringing together cameras, microphones, displays and wireless content sharing into one seamless experience. This enables AI-powered capabilities that help teams to spend less time on administration and more time creating value, delivering meeting spaces ready for the next generation of collaborative work.
