In today\u2019s hybrid work environment, it\u2019s critical that participants who are joining a meeting remotely, no matter where they are working, feel as if they are sitting alongside team members. The key to that seamless connection is professional-grade collaboration gear to level the playing field for all meeting participants.<\/p>\n
Poly and Microsoft continue to work together to introduce intelligent hardware and software features that will help all participants feel engaged and empowered on every call. Even if your seat at the table is virtual, it is important that you\u2019re able to pick up on all the small gestures, expressions and body language cues across the room (or across the screen) and feel confident in your ability to be seen and heard from anywhere.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve previously written<\/span><\/a> about how Poly works with Microsoft Teams to deliver seamless meeting experiences, using our innovations in camera technology and Microsoft Teams Rooms. This includes intelligent features like Acoustic Fence, Group Framing and industry-first technology like Conversation Mode and Smooth Tracking to provide effortless video conferencing every time you select Microsoft Teams for your meeting using Poly tools. Today, we\u2019re excited to showcase the Poly Studio E70<\/span><\/a> as part of Microsoft\u2019s announcements for hybrid work.<\/p>\n \u201cMicrosoft is committed to creating experiences that are equitable and inclusive for people no matter where they work,\u201d said Ilya Bukshteyn, GM, Microsoft Teams Devices. \u201cThe power of Microsoft Teams Rooms paired with the Poly Studio E70 intelligent camera reflects our commitment to meeting design that helps people truly be seen and heard.\u201d<\/p>\n The in-room camera serves as the eyes for remote workers; therefore, it should be dynamic and smart. \u00a0Here are some ways that the Poly Studio E70 can power more efficient meetings for hybrid work and put all participants on equal footing:<\/p>\n Poly has always delivered cutting-edge technology, and each day, we strive to create new features that intelligently enable the perfect hybrid work experience. Our shared vision of the future of hybrid work with Microsoft has allowed us to further our long-standing partnership to offer new smart cameras like the Poly Studio E70, purpose-built for today\u2019s meeting environments. And we can\u2019t wait to show you what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
