The Future of Hybrid Work: How Airtame and Jabra Are Simplifying Meeting Room Experiences with Next-Gen Tech

As organizations across the globe accelerate return-to-office initiatives, the demand for seamless hybrid work experiences has surged. According to Jabra, the shortage of small, agile meeting spaces is one of the biggest barriers to effective collaboration today. Employees expect technology that just works—without delays, glitches, or limitations—especially in compact huddle rooms where BYOD (bring your own device) culture is booming. So, what does it really take to simplify hybrid work—and what are the tools and mindsets shaping that future? In this episode of Work Your Way, Olly Henderson, the VP of Video Products at Jabra, sits down with Jonas Gyalokay, co-founder and board member at Airtame, to explore how businesses are adapting their tech stacks to meet the evolving needs of hybrid teams. From the return-to-office wave in North America to new innovations like the Jabra PanaCast 40 VBS and Airtame Hub, they discuss the intersection of workplace culture, collaboration equity, and cutting-edge AV tech. Highlights from the episode include… The shift back to the office is on: Driven by government policy and corporate leadership, companies in the U.S. are bringing employees back—sparking urgent demand for well-equipped small meeting spaces. BYOD is back in a big way: As employees bring more powerful personal devices into the office, businesses are embracing flexible, device-agnostic solutions that allow anyone to start a meeting in seconds. Remote management is key: Jabra and Airtame are both investing in cloud-based device management platforms to ensure IT teams can monitor, maintain, and scale their hybrid environments with ease. Jonas Gyalokay is the co-founder of Airtame, where he spent over eight years as CEO and now focuses on strategic partnerships and global marketing. With more than twelve years of experience in the AV and collaboration tech space, Jonas has been instrumental in scaling Airtame into a leading provider of wireless screen sharing and hybrid meeting solutions. Prior to Airtame, he co-founded BIT BLUEPRINT, an IT consultancy focused on open source innovation, and previously worked in IT support for enterprise clients.
