Our new reality is that no one really knows what is going to happen in the next few months or years. But how we work, teach, learn, and socialize is different now.
We will be fine. We learn and adapt. We have learned that we need to be prepared, not just by stocking up on toilet paper, but also taking this opportunity to upgrade our remote conferencing capabilities at home.

Crestron Home may be simple, but it's also feature-rich and getting better all the time. It's hard to keep up with all the updates - we've had four major releases in the last eight months. Here are a five powerful features you probably didn't even know about.

Crestron recently introduced a new firmware that enables the pairing of the TSS scheduling panel and POE occupancy sensor together without the need for a control processor or Crestron Fusion. The scheduling panel talks directly to Microsoft Exchange and uses the same credentials as the Microsoft Teams Room (MTR) system.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forever changed the way we work. Social distancing has made connection and collaboration more of a challenge, yet all the more important to achieve. Office and meeting rooms, always at a premium, must now work even harder. Going forward, seamlessly working together, regardless of which conference room or what building we’re in or which video conferencing application we or a guest happens to be using will be the hallmarks of the successful workplace.
 
The question: how best to get there?
 

COVID19 has come, and life as we knew it will be no longer. Necessary shifts in behaviors, social norms, and habits, etc. are coming. Already, “touchless” interactions have been put into place, from buying groceries or a new car, to closing on a mortgage, to ordering take-out. This same reality will likely materialize in the workplace as regions of the country start to “open up” and employees return to the office. More specifically, workplace technology in meeting rooms (where collaboration and interaction are key) will need to evolve to meet the new reality. That’s where Crestron AirMedia® 2.0 comes in.
