The Cost Dilemma of Enterprise Video Conferencing
In modern enterprises, video conferencing has become an indispensable tool for daily work. To achieve the best meeting room experience, many companies deploy Rooms edition video conferencing software, such as Zoom Rooms and Microsoft Teams Rooms.
However, as businesses expand and partners diversify, enterprises face a thorny problem: high subscription costs driven by cross-platform meeting needs.
The Cumulative Effect of Subscription Costs
Suppose your company primarily uses Zoom Rooms but frequently needs to meet with clients using Microsoft Teams. To provide a professional meeting experience, you might need:
- Zoom Rooms license subscription: ~$499/year/room
- Additional Microsoft Teams Rooms license: ~$480/year/room
- If you also need to support Tencent Meeting, Feishu, etc... costs keep adding up
For a company with 10 meeting rooms, the annual subscription cost for just these two platforms could exceed $9,790.
