Are Interactive AV Systems the Future of Productive Meetings?

Meetings are shifting. More teams are working in flexible environments, and the need for real-time communication has pushed many companies to rethink how their spaces support collaboration. Interactive AV systems are becoming a central part of that shift. These tools are more than just screens on the wall. They allow users to share content wirelessly, interact with digital whiteboards, and connect with remote participants – all without disruption. At i.e.Smart Systems, we’re seeing more of our clients invest in AV solutions that support a faster, more agile way to meet.

The Challenge with Outdated Meeting Rooms

Even high-performing teams can be held back by meeting spaces that aren’t built for modern work. Whether it’s poor sound quality, confusing user interfaces, or unreliable video connections, these technical problems add up. Teams lose time trying to connect devices or troubleshoot simple tasks. According to research from Zippia, 71% of employees say meetings are unproductive, often due to outdated tools and unclear communication (https://www.zippia.com/advice/meeting-statistics/). This amounts to more than just inconvenience. It slows down progress and makes it harder for teams to make informed decisions. For companies with distributed teams or high collaboration needs, the risks are even greater.

How Interactive AV Systems Improve Meeting Performance

Interactive AV systems solve many of the problems that traditional meeting spaces create. With touch-enabled displays, content sharing becomes immediate. Team members can write directly on the screen, mark up designs, and save changes in real time. Integrated conferencing systems mean remote users can see and hear clearly, without needing a technician on standby. Room scheduling panels at the door make it easy to book space and avoid double-bookings. These systems support how people actually work: in groups, across departments, and from different locations. They reduce friction and give teams the ability to focus on their work, not the tools.
