The modern workplace is awash in meetings, driven by a need to exchange information, collaborate, make decisions, and establish accountability. The Harvard Business Review found that there were 60% more remote meetings per employee in 2022 than in 2020, a change of an average of five to eight meetings per week per employee. But as organizations have welcomed back workers into their offices, hybrid meetings — in which some participants are located within a physical meeting space while others are connected remotely — have introduced additional complexity around audio volume and clarity, video framing, and participant equity.

When any of these issues are not optimized, meeting attendees’ ability to focus and engage is often negatively impacted, and as such, critical organizational and operational information shared within these meetings can be lost in the shuffle. Moreover, according to recent research from Microsoft, inefficient meetings are the number one barrier to productivity, with 68% of employees indicating they don’t have enough uninterrupted focus time during the workday, and up to one-third of meetings are likely unnecessary. These issues negatively impact productivity and engagement, costing hundreds of billions of dollars, and can cause employees to disengage during meetings.

In this research brief, Logitech Enables Microsoft Copilot in Teams Rooms: Boosting Productivity and Engagement with Next-Generation AI Technology, which is authored by The Futurum Group in collaboration with Logitech, we discuss the key challenges often faced using hybrid meetings. We also discuss how Microsoft Teams technology, infused with generative AI in Copilot, and deployed on Logitech hardware, can be used to address these issues, enhancing the meeting participant experience and driving additional productivity during and after the meeting.
