Today's meeting room designers are facing a tough challenge. Using a Teams/Zoom appliance or the Room PC to make a call and managing the BYOM laptop's HDMI signal isn't enough anymore. Meeting room users want to use their own laptops' USB-C connectivity to make calls over their choice of video conferencing platform while taking advantage of the room's USB peripherals such as high-quality webcams and audio systems. Users also worry about charging their device and having enough battery power to complete their meetings.

In this 1 hour session hosted by Lightware, the leading provider of USB-C connectivity solutions, participants will learn about how to empower their meeting rooms with simplified and consistent switching utilizing a single cable of USB-C for video, audio, Ethernet and charging up to 100W. Lightware's experts will review common 'pain-points' to help AV professionals avoid the most common pitfalls of integrating USB technology into any space.

The session includes a comprehensive overview of the benefits of USB-C over other connectivity standards, common room designs as well as a detailed guide into the differences between various USB-C cables.
