Huddle rooms
What is a huddle room?
A huddle room is a small meeting room for a few people, typically two to six, designed for quick conversations, short meetings and video calls. Huddle rooms are usually bookable but often used on the spot, and they are among the most in-demand spaces in a hybrid office.
Why huddle rooms matter
Many meetings are small: a call, a one-to-one or a quick decision. When there are not enough small rooms, those meetings take over large rooms, which leaves bigger groups without space.
What a good huddle room needs
- A screen, camera and microphone for video calls
- Good acoustics and privacy
- A simple way to see if it is free and book it on the spot
How AskCody supports huddle rooms
AskCody meeting room displays outside each room show whether it is free and let people book it on the spot, and workplace analytics compares attendees with seats to show whether rooms match the meetings held in them.
