Microsoft’s new Facilitator agent is changing the game for how Teams meetings work. With AI-powered note-taking, action items tracking, meeting summarization and live Q&A, it’s designed to help make collaboration more straightforward and effective.
Yet actual magic is only present when the audio visual and network configuration beneath it is perfect. Remove decent microphones, properly positioned cameras, and a stable connection, and even the most clever AI breaks down.
That’s where we come in. Together with us, we design and deploy Teams Rooms solutions that allow Facilitator to do exactly what it was intended – providing high-quality meetings with consistency, not wowing demos.
The Right Foundations for Teams Facilitator
To maximize the potential of Facilitator, every element of your AV infrastructure needs to be optimized. These are the variables that really count:
1. Clear Microphone Coverage
Facilitator relies on good voice pickup to identify speakers and capture conversation topics. With ceiling arrays, beamforming soundbars or distributed microphones, we ensure that all voices within the room are well picked up with the correct placement, calibration and DSP tuning.
2. Smart Camera Framing
Facilitator’s AI works best when it can “see” the meeting properly. Our camera configurations provide nicely balanced, context-aware framing so the AI can track individuals with ease — not just stare at faces.
3. Ready Compute & Compatibility
Some of Facilitator’s more advanced capabilities depend on Microsoft Copilot licensing and hardware capability. We make sure your Teams Rooms devices have the required processing power, and recommend upgrades where necessary.
4. Stable Network & Low Latency
AI-driven meetings demand quick, reliable connections. We help set up your network to provide low-latency, prioritized AV traffic and consistent bandwidth, eliminating the lag and drop-outs that ruin collaboration.
5. Data Privacy & Transparency
Facilitator introduces new issues around meeting data, recordings and consent. We help you create clear storage and transparency policies, complying and building trust with internal and external participants.
Our Proven Approach
We don’t just put in hardware — we deploy collaborative, future-proof meeting rooms. This is how we roll out Teams Facilitator-ready rooms:
