Sometimes my department schedules meetings with an alternate option for webex, which is kept secret from certain people that we need to see in person. These are usually execs we need decisions from. So many of them have a reputation for vanishing from the face of the earth if they get the slightest inkling that someone else can share meeting cliffnotes.

have you ever played meeting inception? i have a vendor that will only use zoom for their meetings, it works fine on my machine but a lot of people i work with can't get it running. so i will join the zoom with one or two others, then we will use microsoft skype for business to bring in the rest of our group. also our french colleagues have not yet been included in phase four of the new company conference experience, so they will open up a webex. it then goes something like this vendor in zoom shares screen -> BA in skype for business & zoom starts sharing their screen of the zoom screen, in skype for business -> someone in the french office connects to our video conference (qualcomm) in a physical room and shares that over webex so long as the BA from step 2 is also sharing over qualcomm sometimes then we also conference people in with iphones its awesome and is almost as fun as our mixed lync/sametime/aol im environment

The cyber-future we were promised: "I'm gonna hack the IRS mainframe to add thirty percent more CPU cycles to my illegal pirate network port! Hang on, bit-heads, this is where it gets radical." (slams a Red Bull, starts typing furiously while metal guitars wail.) The cyber-future we got: "Okay, so you need to hold your phone at exactly six inches from the center console because further out is too far and she can't hear, and further in causes horrible feedback..."

its cool that gamers can get 40 drat dudes in a molten core raid with subgroups, muting, etc - pretty reliably, and yet fortune 5 businesses are epic conference call fail. its cool to think that i have a more robust collaborative toolchain with my dota buddies than p deece 7 figmen have at work, which is true, by a longshot.

VVD - "I don't know." "Well setup some time to review issues and we'll discuss at our next scrum." VSTO - "I'm on it." "Oh, I just got a ping from business, let me forward the invite…" VWE - "Incoming hostiles!"

we got a new polycom in one of our conference rooms with a neat little touchscreen showing the upcoming reservations for the room, it connects to our office 365 and that works well. it shows everything about the reservation except for the title of the goddamn meeting

cause they're good. if you need a conference phone and you're a small/med business you just buy a $700 polycom kit and ur done. if ur a large company you buy a huge rear end polycom kit and have them set it up cause that's peanuts to you.

our meeting room is equipped with a 4 year old lenovo laptop hooked up to a wireless HDMI box and a usb mic/speaker thing. it hardly works. we use google hangouts. one time we were trying to have a planning meeting booked for half an hour, 18 minutes were spent trying to get everyone on the hangout, the hdmi working, screen sharing working, and so forth.

at my job every conference room is owned by a department and assigned to the admin of that apt - this leads to you booking a room and getting a decline plus form email from the admin. there is no structure across the company for how these rooms are booked and each admin comes up with their own process so depending on what room you try to get you may just have a short im convo or you may be logging into lotus notes to submit a form to a database or even doing a transaction or two in sap. its really cool and good because every dept has way less rooms then they need so you get tribal warfare over rooms and hidden conference rooms. my mind was blown when i went into finance and was introduced to the "cave" a conf room that looks like a group of cubes but the walls have been removed from the inside so people can meet. then after befriending the us controller i learned that the cave had a hidden cave that was actually a full conference room marked as a mother's room hidden in the back of the cave. also another group successfully lobbied to move the company convenience store to the cafeteria so they could turn it into a meeting room but they kept the keys with their admin so nobody could steal it. my dept (it, what a shocker) consolidated our data center and ops room into one room so the old noc became a hidden conference room that you need retina scanner access to get to and its forbidden to bring anyone outside the dept to it so yeah people get weird about conference rooms and meeting titles oh forgot one other thing, all our official conf rooms have those little touchscreens where you can book the room but one day global changed the corp directory backend without consulting the vendor so now for four months they just say "error: unreachable host" and flash between red and green i don't really pay too much attention to any of this as i am currently consumed in the coffee room wars
