    Audio is Do Or Die For Meetings | AVWeek 762

    We keep upgrading the tech but are we fixing the experience? That’s the real question behind today’s “broken” meeting rooms and maybe it starts with one simple shift: audio first, not video first. If people can’t hear clearly, nothing else matters. At the same time, third-party plugins promise efficiency but at what cost to network control and security? The video version of this podcast can be found here. Host Tim Albright and his panel of AV industry experts bring you another essential AVWeek episode, tackling why meeting rooms still frustrate users, why an audio-led approach is critical to better collaboration, and how IT managers should evaluate third-party plugin ecosystems without compromising performance or security.

    What happens when global tariffs start rewriting AV project margins overnight, and is the industry just expected to absorb the chaos? “Security gaps aren’t always external threats… sometimes they’re already inside your system,” and if standards feel like a slow process, are they actually the only thing holding the AV ecosystem together? The video version of this podcast can be found here. In this episode, host Tim Albright and his industry expert guests bring you another must-watch AVWeek conversation diving into the ripple effects of tariffs, real-world AV security risks sparked by recent theft incidents, and why standards are becoming critical to long-term industry innovation.

    MicroLED revenue is expected to double this year. But is the technology finally ready for real AV deployments or still a high-end experiment?

    Why Return To Office Must Evolve | AVWeek 758

    Return-to-office mandates are being sold as “culture resets.” At the same time, AV Trust says our security practices “haven’t kept pace.” So let’s ask the uncomfortable question: are we demanding employees show up in person while the technology behind the walls still isn’t fully ready or fully secure? The video version of this podcast can be found here. Host Tim Albright and his industry expert guests return with a focused AVWeek episode exploring the full spectrum of change in commercial AV, from the real-world impact of RTO on collaboration spaces and infrastructure planning to AV Trust’s potential influence on cybersecurity standards, accountability, and vulnerability disclosure across an increasingly connected ecosystem.
