The Hive is a laboratory at Microsoft where the team builds and tests new meeting room technology, specifically focusing on Microsoft Teams Rooms. It was initially an internal resource but has since opened its doors to customers, allowing them to experience innovative hybrid meeting solutions in a real lab setting.
What are Signature Teams Rooms?
Signature Teams Rooms are designed to provide inclusive and collaborative meeting experiences for both in-person and remote attendees. They feature specialized furniture, displays, and audio devices arranged to create a 'circle of inclusion,' allowing remote participants to engage more naturally and equitably during meetings.
How does The Hive address cost concerns?
The Hive focuses on creating individualized solutions that optimize existing spaces rather than complete remodels. They have developed a modular approach that can significantly reduce costs—by up to 75%—compared to traditional upgrades, while still ensuring inclusive hybrid meeting experiences.
