What is a Signature Room?
A Microsoft Signature Teams Room is a combination of equipment and special furniture as well as a wide-angle lens camera with AI at the front of the room. This camera uses smart AI technology to make it look as if people are sitting right in front of those in the online meeting. As a certified Teams Rooms partner, AVEX can help you with everything involved in successfully implementing this unique way of hybrid collaboration.
Put all participants in the front row
More than 66% of all meetings in the Netherlands are attended by people who are not physically present in the meeting room. It is important to set up meeting rooms in such a way that these people can also participate optimally, to ensure effective collaboration.
If you want to get the most out of every hybrid meeting, consider using a Microsoft Signature Room.
This is because this online meeting concept is best deployed within organisations in rooms and locations where face-to-face interactions with remote meeting participants are desired.
Indeed, an important part of the Signature Room is the Microsoft Teams Front Row layout. This makes you feel more engaged as an online participant in a Teams meeting. Namely, this feature places the video footage of the online participants in a row at the bottom of the screen in the meeting room. This puts the callers at the eye level of the participants in the meeting room. Therefore, eye contact is created naturally, which is perceived as very pleasant and enhances collaboration.

Essential element: the furniture in the room
Besides the Front Row layout, there is another element that makes the Microsoft Signature Room different from a standard online meeting room. This is because, unlike traditional meeting room set-ups, we use C- or V-shaped furniture in a Microsoft Signature Room.
In a C- or V-shaped setup, participants can more easily communicate with each other and collaborate on projects.
For video conferencing, this setup allows us to guarantee an optimal viewing angle for all participants. All participants can clearly see the video conference, regardless of where they sit in the room.
Signature Rooms exclusively possible with Microsoft Teams Rooms
The basis of every Signature Room is, of course, a Microsoft Teams Room licence.
But what are Microsoft Teams Rooms again? These are meeting rooms designed for holding virtual meetings with multiple participants. They are equipped with audio and video equipment, a touchscreen and a computer. With Teams Rooms, remote meeting participants can interactively collaborate.
