Case Study: Mendip District Council achieves seamless hybrid meetings with Barco ClickShare Conference

Seamless hybrid meetings for the Mendip District Council (UK)

Mendip District Council faced the challenge of upgrading its conferencing facilities to seamlessly facilitate remote and hybrid meetings, driven by new operational demands. The council needed an intuitive, future-proof solution that supported Microsoft Teams and Zoom, and worked around physical constraints like solid floors that prevented new cabling. They partnered with Barco and systems integrator Forward Vision Solutions to address this.

Barco's solution was the implementation of ClickShare Conference wireless systems, specifically the CX-30 model. This provided a user-friendly, cable-free way for users to connect laptops to the room's AV equipment for presentations and video calls. The system brought new interactive features through touch functionality and allowed the council to reuse existing equipment. According to a council official, Barco's technology transformed their meeting spaces, enabling them to confidently run hybrid meetings where no one is left behind and collaboration is improved even in challenging circumstances.
