Big Ideas are Born in Small Rooms Leaving no-one behind, Jabra have designed the Jabra PanaCast 40 VBS (video bar system) for the smaller meeting room.
Meeting spaces are an essential part of any modern working environment, and simply cannot be overlooked in any office or workspace design. They provide essential opportunities for employees to collaborate and communicate, express ideas, concerns and gaining valuable updates on projects and personnel. We’re Getting Smaller There is not a central record of a single average ‘office size’ across the UK through the decades, but trends in London records show a decrease in the average square footage per worker, from estimates around 180-200 sq ft in 2018 to about 10 sq m (107 sq ft) per worker in the early 2020s, driven by factors like agile working, smaller deal sizes being common, and a general move towards more efficient use of space. ‘Deal sizes’ is just estate management talk for property pricing. The estimates make sense, organisations are making the most of the space that they can afford, and employee productivity assessments are frequently calculated these days. We’re Getting Creative with Space According to London Office Space, hybrid layouts can reduce space needs by 10– 50%, translating into cost savings of up to £8,500 per employee/year. With those sorts of savings it is no wonder that Office Managers are getting creative with the space, that not only reflects modernity, company culture, as well as it reduces costs. Originally, the traditional office meeting space was often ‘boardroom level’ big,
with large floor space dedicated to addressing colleagues, but the luxury of this space does not exist, nor does the actual large numbers of colleagues being in the office at any one time exist, for most organisations today. Office hubs and office nests are

making an appearance in office designs. Rooms that used to be cupboards and telephone booths are being converted into meeting rooms, and the smaller space can work well for office-based colleagues to collaborate with remote team members, if the right audio visual equipment is installed, and set up correctly. Enter Jabra PanaCast VBS40 The Jabra PanaCast 40 VBS addresses the challenge of video-enabling small meeting rooms with its innovative dual- camera systems, delivering a seamless 180° field of view through advanced stitching technology. This ensures full room coverage, making every participant seen and heard clearly, even when huddling around a small table, or being positioned close to the screen. It is the only Android-powered video bar designed specifically for small meeting rooms on the market at the moment.
