Modern meeting spaces require flexibility, simplicity, and consistency for IT teams managing collaboration environments. Announced at Microsoft Ignite 2024, center-of-table console support for Surface Hub 3 extends Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows by enabling certified third-party touch consoles for in-room meeting control.
