(*) BYOM (Bring Your Own Meeting) describes the workplace experience where people prefer to host a conference call from their personal device using their preferred conferencing solution (e.g. Microsoft Teams, Webex, Zoom and many more). And they choose to ignore the existing meeting room equipment provided to connect remote participants. BYOM is expanding rapidly and three factors are driving this trend:
- We are more productive when we use our own devices at work
- We prefer a particular conferencing solution – one with a user experience that appeals to us or fits most closely with how we like to work
- We avoid using equipment that we don’t understand or find difficult to operate
