Meeting rooms with a large screen (i.e. data projector or “tv” type display) used with Microsoft Teams allow people in the meeting room to see remote meeting participants. If the room does not have speakers and/or room microphones, an individual in the room can use their laptop for both, depending on room size. To further augment rooms for hybrid meetings, there are cost-effective, moveable solutions. Permanent (fixed) solutions are convenient but come at a higher cost. For design and equipment selection consultation, contact ITMS Presentation Technology Services (ITMS-PTS) at eclass@uwaterloo.ca. Prices are subject to significant change, as per industry trends.

Note

Due to a high volume of inquiries for our services, we may redirect requests for fixed solutions to external integrators.
