Unlock the Power of Smart Name Tags in Zoom Rooms: A Guide for Seamless Collaboration

Posted by Video Conference Gear on 11/25/2024

Hybrid work is more than a trend—it’s a necessity. With over 80% of organizations embracing this diverse approach, finding tools that seamlessly integrate in-person and virtual collaboration is key. That’s where Zoom Rooms’ Smart Name Tags come in. This new feature is designed to optimize your hybrid work experience, enhance inclusivity, and improve productivity during meetings.

Here’s how Smart Name Tags can revolutionize your Zoom Rooms and how you can make the most of them.


What Are Smart Name Tags?

Smart Name Tags leverage AI technology to display name tags on video feeds in a Zoom Room. Whether participants are speaking or not, this feature ensures everyone is identified, fostering a more connected and inclusive environment.

Modes of Operation:

  1. Manual Mode
    • Displays a generic name tag that can be customized directly from the Zoom Rooms controller.
    • Allows for easy identification even without user enrollment.
  2. Automatic Mode
    • Automatically displays a user’s name tag based on their enrolled profile.
    • Can recognize and tag participants outside your organization, making cross-team collaborations smooth.
    • Editable at any time for flexibility.

Why Use Smart Name Tags?

  1. Enhance Inclusivity
    In a hybrid meeting, it’s easy to feel disconnected from colleagues in a different location. Smart Name Tags bridge this gap by ensuring everyone is visible and recognized, no matter where they are.
  2. Streamline Communication
    Forget awkward moments of forgetting names or misidentifying colleagues. This feature provides instant clarity, enabling smoother interactions.
  3. Boost Productivity
    When participants feel seen and acknowledged, they’re more likely to engage actively in discussions, driving better outcomes for your meetings.
