What’s the Best Video Conferencing System?

When clients ask us, “What video conferencing system do you recommend?”     
Our answer is always the same: “Let’s start with how you work.”

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to video conferencing. The right system depends on two critical factors - your UC platform (like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, etc.) and the size and function of the space you're trying to equip.

Let’s break that down.

1. Start with Your Unified Communications Platform

Are you a Microsoft Teams shop? Zoom? Google Meet? Or maybe your organization uses multiple platforms, depending on the department.

Before choosing any gear, we need to know how your teams connect. Why? Because the best conferencing systems are designed to natively integrate with specific UC platforms. That means better call quality, fewer technical hiccups, and a more intuitive user experience, especially for non-technical users who just want to walk into the room, press a button, and get down to business.

2. Match the System to the Room. Size and shape of the space matter. A lot.

A small huddle room doesn’t need the same tech as a large boardroom or a tiered lecture hall. In some cases, you might need a single camera and speaker system. In others, you’ll need multiple microphones, ceiling-mounted speakers, auto-tracking cameras, and integrated control systems.
Here’s a quick rundown of how room size affects system design:

• Huddle Rooms – Think fast meetings, quick calls, small groups. These spaces need plug-and-play simplicity with built-in audio and video.
• Standard Meeting Rooms – Medium-sized spaces call for better microphones, smarter cameras, and more robust integration—especially if there’s remote collaboration involved.
• Executive or Boardrooms – These rooms demand high-performance solutions that are flexible, powerful, and invisible. High-quality audio coverage, intelligent video framing, and seamless controls are key.
• Training Rooms & Classrooms – These need versatility. The tech should support both in-person and remote learning with ease.
• Medical Environments – Clean integration and hands-free control often matter just as much as audio/video quality.

3. You’re investing in experience and solutions. 

It’s Not About Gadgets. It’s About Experience. We don’t lead with product names because you’re not just buying equipment.

When done right, video conferencing should feel effortless. No fumbling with cables. No awkward silences while someone tries to fix the audio. Just confident communication, every time.

And that's where our team comes in. We design and install solutions that fit your workflow, your platform, and your room so your tech just works, and your people stay focused on what matters.
