AV (audio visual)
What does AV stand for?
AV stands for audio visual. In the workplace, AV is the equipment that lets people see and hear each other in meetings: screens and projectors, cameras, microphones, speakers and the controls that tie them together. It matters most in meeting rooms used for hybrid meetings with remote participants.
Typical AV in a meeting room
- A screen or projector for sharing content
- A camera, microphones and speakers for video calls
- A room system or controller to start meetings
- A room display outside the door showing whether the room is free
Why AV issues matter
A broken screen or a missing cable can turn a booked room into a lost meeting. The faster an issue reaches the people who can fix it, the fewer meetings it affects.
How AskCody helps with AV
AskCody meeting room displays outside each room let people book, extend or end meetings on the spot and report broken equipment directly from the display, so the right team hears about AV problems before the next meeting.
