AI: Two letters revolutionising our lives, careers, and the world. It’s key to growth, productivity, and reinventing business processes. The meeting space is no exception. Microsoft Teams Rooms is evolving by enhancing features and introducing advanced solutions powered by Microsoft’s AI assistant, Copilot.
First, let’s look at the numbers.
A recent study from Microsoft commissioned through IDC showed that when organisations truly commit to and invest in AI, the return on investment (ROI) potential grows significantly.
“Today AI is the trend reshaping all aspects of work. AI is also reshaping where work gets done. Empower everyone to be seen, heard and recognised with AI-enhanced high-quality audio and video. It’s an exciting time for partners, as M365 Copilot starts to bleed its way into the meeting space.” - Andrew Higgs, Regional Solution Specialist Lead – Asia – Microsoft.
To maximise the benefits of AI investments, your customers need to be equipped with the latest modern devices.
“To get the most out of the meeting room experience, using certified Teams Rooms devices is essential. We have the broadest range of certified Teams Rooms vendors, and we have an extensive portfolio of digital displays and professional AV solutions from industry-leading brands. Prepare your customers for future success by leveraging the latest AI-advancements in certified Teams Rooms devices and let our team support you.” - Andrew Upshon, Head of AV.
Copilot in Teams Rooms
Did you know, 84% of users say Copilot in Teams meetings make action items clearer? Microsoft Teams Rooms’ primary focus for the rest of 2025 and beyond is centred around enhancing meeting room intelligence, by integrating features from M365 Copilot, which will be implemented through Copilot Agents. This will allow features such as the Interpreter Agent and the Facilitator Agent to be made available on the hardware itself.
“Partners that have gone all in on Teams Rooms, I highly recommend looking at M365 Copilot because there is no better together story than Teams Rooms and Copilot. To be able to use the amazing features of Meeting Rooms Copilot takes those capabilities and extends them to the next level. There is no better way to get productivity gains with both of these products. So now is the time to focus on AI, to focus on Meeting Rooms and equipping the meeting spaces for the future.” - Andrew Higgs, Regional Solution Specialist Lead – Asia – Microsoft.
Andrew Higgs has highlighted three key features where M365 Copilot can revolutionise the meeting room experience.
1. Copilot with Intelligent Speaker
Know who’s talking – with attribute transcription via intelligent speakers. Identify up to 10 voices within the room effortlessly and focus on what matters. Eliminating notetaking and distractions.
2. Facilitator Agent on Teams Rooms
This is an AI-powered meeting facilitator and note taker. It can take meeting notes from the room, even without a scheduled teams meeting. All attendees can be in the meeting without their PCs and facilitator will take notes for them.
3. Interpreter Agent
Gone are the days of needing a translator in meetings. The Interpreter Agent will let you speak to your foreign customers or business partners, by translating what you say in real-time into their preferred language and vice versa. It even keeps your Australian accent!
Copilot for all
To ensure Copilot can provide the same improvements to efficiency and productivity, whether participates are remote or in-room, it’s essential to integrate AI-driven tools seamlessly into your workflow. By leveraging these features, teams can maintain high levels of productivity while becoming well-versed in using AI-tools that will further enhance collaboration and streamline operations.
