State of the European Video Conferencing Devices Market, Forecast to 2026

As the pandemic has influenced people's attitudes toward hybrid work to varying degrees, the percentage of people who will return to the workplace is in flux. As a result, there is a greater need to recognize employee preferences for hybrid working and accommodate multiple user-profiles along with their specific requirements for collaboration technologies. Video collaboration, in particular, has become pivotal to enterprises' digital transformation efforts and a cornerstone for hybrid work.
