In 2023, one out of every eight employees work full time from home, while nearly one in three employees work in a hybrid model. Thus, workgroups routinely collaborate across distances. And millions of them use Microsoft Teams to power remote collaboration. Using devices specifically certified to work with Teams greatly enhances the Microsoft Teams experience.
When conducting an interview remotely or collaborating in real time over distance, technology makes all the difference. Video devices that require complicated setup waste valuable meeting time, while poor audio and video quality reduce meeting effectiveness.
On the other hand, consistent and reliable equipment with intuitive controls and advanced features delivers a meeting experience at least as effective as an in-person meeting. And when that equipment integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Teams, collaboration, efficiency, and creativity move to the next level.
Microsoft has compiled a list of Microsoft Teams certified devices. These hardware tools have been tested and certified to deliver consistent and reliable performance when used with Microsoft Teams. The list of tools includes devices such as headsets, speakerphones, webcams, and monitors.
Using Microsoft Teams certified devices provides users with several key benefits including:
Various vendors offer dozens of Microsoft Teams certified devices, and choosing the right device for your organization requires some homework. Consider several criteria as you evaluate your options.
First, consider the type of device that will prove most appropriate for the scenarios involved. That is, individuals may require headsets and a webcam, while small groups need speakerphones. And larger groups require conference phones or all-in-one room systems.
Second, consider the desired features and the available budget. For instance, devices may include various camera features, portability, wireless or wired connectivity, touch screens and more. Be sure to also consider the organization’s security standards to ensure that the devices support requirements such as encryption and authentication.
Finally, look at device compatibility with existing infrastructure. This will include compatibility with operating systems such as Windows, Mac, or Android. It will also include compatibility with the type of network, as well as the power source (USB or AC).
The Microsoft Teams Devices Showcase website includes a list of all Microsoft Teams certified devices. Users can filter the list according to device type, type of space, brand, and features.
