Teams enabled conference room system.
Any of the dual-screen enabled MTRS should do what you're after I'm just not too sure on the native support for Zoom mentioned by Abhimanyu Singh.
Your bigger challenge is the overall functionality you are after for your Executive Conference Room. If you already have AV room control, it gets messy having a 7" or 10" screen for room control and then another for the MTRS. For example, you may be using AV room control for managing lights and blinds or for managing different content to different screens etc.
Some features to consider whether your business needs them or not that don't come with MTRS … in the Exec or dual-screen rooms that I have been involved in fitting out, we want:
- To ensure that we can send any source to any screen e.g. HDMI to the left screen & Mini-DisplayPort to the right screen, the TV to the left and wireless (Miracast/ClickShare) to the right or any combination thereof;
- To be able to use a Room or Resident PC so that presenters can send the Primary PC content to the left screen and the Secondary (extended) the right screen
- To be able to ingest HDMI, MDP, USB-C or wireless into a Teams presentation
- Decent sound pickup - depending on the size of your Exec conference room, the soundbars may not provide a good enough mic pickup so you may want to put a ceiling mic array in
- BYOD devices to access the USB peripherals in the room to allow them to join Zoom, BlueJeans and other 3rd-party meeting requests as video interop is not supported by Teams
These, and many other, considerations need to be taken into account as to whether a native MTRS is suitable for your room fit out and which one to purchase.
I have found that if you want to have the type of flexibility mentioned, especially around room control in the larger rooms (and rooms where you want to deliver more functionality to the end users) that the Crestron Flex is more suitable as it provides access to AV room control from the Teams touch panel. The Logitech TAP is also working with Extron so would expect that they will have similar functionality. Not too sure about Yealink.
