Cloud deployment model

Service constraints
The Teams web app and Surface Hubs are normally updated weekly at a time specified by the client. Teams desktop client updates are released every two weeks after rigorous internal testing and validation through Microsoft's Technology Adoption Program (TAP). This usually takes place on a Tuesday. If a critical update is required, Teams will bypass this schedule and release the update as soon as it’s available.
Teams checks for updates every few hours behind the scenes, downloads it, and then waits for the computer to be idle before silently installing the update. All updates can be managed by the Client.
System requirements
  • Teams rooms license required
  • Adhoc additional licenses for any third party apps (permission dependant)
  • Affiliate Surface Hub with (Azure AD) Global Admins Security Group
  • Microsoft 365 resource account management

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

According to a report commissioned by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and sponsored by AT&T, video conferencing can avoid millions of metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. For example, the study looked at businesses based in the United States and the United Kingdom with annual revenues of more than $1 billion.
Their analysis showed that using VC could cut nearly 5.5 million metric tons of CO2 emissions by 2020 with broad adoption. The equivalent of taking one million passenger vehicles off the road.
Reducing paper consumption is another significant bonus. Rather than print out paper documents for each in-person attendee, agendas, memos, reports, edits and recommendations can be shared digitally, eliminating the need for any paper at all. Every piece of paper you don’t use is not only money saved, notes but also energy and effort saved in its manufacture and transportation.
Most conferences make sure all attendees have an unlimited supply of bottled water. But what happens to all those throwaway bottles when the conference is over? When you’re sitting in on a VC call at home or in the office, users are more likely to use a glass, saving the use of single use plastics.
Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery

The global video conferencing industry gained monumental traction during the coronavirus outbreak. Now enterprises and government organisations are rethinking how video conferencing can be the ultimate solution to connect with remote workers, customers, employees; and, at the same time, preventing if required direct face to face contact with people in the case of another outbreak.
The outbreak of the coronavirus has impacted the video conferencing market positively. The ban on travel has limited the reach of enterprises and Governments in foreign markets, which in turn, has increased the adoption of video conferencing software. Corporate and Government users are adopting an innovative recruitment process by engaging in the use and deployment of video. The government is also on the other hand using video conferencing software to connect with administrative teams based regionally and like the FCDO in other countries.
Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity

VC is accessible to all. Many systems have accessibility functions and options to provide equity for all users.
Wellbeing

Wellbeing

Video calling can be a nicer way of chatting with others than just a phone call, because it lets you see the person you're talking to and engage and interact with them, and them see you. You can even have a group chat with multiple people. Video-calls can assist in reducing loneliness and social isolation.
Loneliness and social isolation among the population may be detrimental to well-being, quality of life and cognitive decline. Technological interventions have been developed utilising easy to use video platforms that may reduce loneliness for dementia patients, home workers and remote staff, through user friendly VC devices using Teams, Zoom, Webex etc.
Computer users such as staff in enforced Covid office exile find social media and emailing provide less personal connectivity than face-to-face contact with a loved one, colleague or team. This may even add to the feeling of loneliness and isolation. Several studies have revealed that face-to-face contact through video-calls may be more useful for people than telephone calls or written correspondence in reducing loneliness.
