RIP, Skype

Microsoft Teams and traditional AV pros are locked in a tug-of-war between quick installs and premium experiences. And pour one out for Skype – after 14 years and $8.5 billion, Microsoft is pulling the plug this May. Plus a new and ACTUALLY improved HDMI 2.2 delivers double the bandwidth for 10K resolution.

Dive deep with AV industry experts as they break down the seismic shifts transforming commercial AV! Whether Microsoft’s AI-obsessed Teams strategy clashes with AV pro values and the impact of Skype’s 60-day countdown. Plus, discover how HDMI 2.2’s Ultra96 certification is revolutionizing esports and digital signage while fueling the debate on USB-C vs. HDMI, UC security, and AV over IP’s role in the future of connectivity.
