 Video conferencing reached its peak in 2020, when the world was forced online and tools like Zoom and Teams became household names. But how did we get here—and what comes next? In this episode, the Meeting Room Doctor takes us on a fast-paced journey through the history of video conferencing. From its experimental beginnings in the 1870s, to the early corporate-only systems of the 1980s and 90s, to the explosion of consumer apps like Skype and FaceTime, and finally the pandemic-driven adoption of Zoom and Teams, we trace the technology’s evolution and the shifts in user expectations along the way. We explore: The early innovations at Bell Labs and AT&T that laid the groundwork Why expensive, complex hardware limited adoption for decades How Polycom, Skype, and Zoom democratized access to video calls The pandemic boom that made video meetings mainstream across business, education, and healthcare The rise of hybrid work and the push for equitable meeting experiences How AI, smart cameras, and intelligent microphones are shaping the next decade of meeting technology Whether you’re an AV professional, a business leader, or just someone who spends too much time in virtual meetings, this episode is packed with insights into where we’ve been—and where we’re headed. 👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell so you never miss an episode.
