How do Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms use artificial intelligence to improve hybrid meetings?

Both Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms feature built-in artificial intelligence (AI) to ensure remote participants feel fully included, clear up background audio, and automate post-meeting administration.

Core AI capabilities in modern meeting rooms

  • Smart framing and individual video feeds: Rather than showing a long boardroom table where people in the background look small, AI-driven cameras automatically crop each person in the room into their own individual video square on screen. This gives everyone equal screen space regardless of where they sit.

  • Speaker tracking and active voice focus: High-definition cameras use audio beamforming and visual recognition to smoothly zoom in on whoever is speaking, moving contextually as different team members join the discussion.

  • Background noise suppression: Machine learning filters eliminate unwanted office distractions—such as keyboard typing, rustling papers, coffee machines, or nearby construction work—leaving only clean voice audio for participants on the line.

  • Automated meeting notes and summaries:

    • Microsoft Teams Rooms: Integrates with Microsoft Copilot and Intelligent Recap to transcribe discussions in real time, generate action points, and produce searchable notes linked directly to your Microsoft 365 calendar.

    • Zoom Rooms: Uses Zoom AI Companion to generate meeting summaries, highlight key discussion points, and record action items without requiring a paid individual add-on.
