Extending the Agentic Office to Each Assembly Platform

The agentic office shouldn’t rely on which assembly platform you run.

It’s been a busy few months for Cisco Collaboration Units. At ISE 2026 we shipped the Cisco Desk Professional G2 and Room Package Professional G2 — each constructed with the power to run the Microsoft Machine Ecosystem Platform (MDEP) for Microsoft Groups Rooms (MTR) expertise, each in market at the moment. Simply two weeks in the past, at Cisco Reside US 2026, Espen Løberg launched the Cisco Board Professional G3 — our first MTR Licensed board powered by MDEP, purpose-built for the agentic office.

This week at InfoComm 2026, we’re extending that work in a route I need to spend a little bit time on: interoperability, and what it actually means in an agentic-workplace world.

A lot of the prospects I spend my time with don’t dwell in a single-vendor world. They could have one main platform, however throughout their world estates it’s common to seek out Webex, Microsoft Groups, Zoom, and Google Meet all operating side-by-side — as a result of that’s what their staff, their prospects, and their companions truly use. And each a type of prospects is now layering AI on prime of all of it.

The precept we hold coming again to is a straightforward one: the assembly platform you select shouldn’t resolve whether or not you get to unlock the agentic office. The office experiences you get ought to journey with you as you progress from one workspace to a different, whatever the units you utilize and never solely depending on the assembly platform operating on prime them.

That’s the theme of our InfoComm 2026 updates. Constant Cisco {hardware} expertise. Constant Cisco cloud administration expertise. Identical agentic office expertise. Whichever platforms —Webex, Microsoft Groups, Zoom, or Google Meet — your group has chosen.

The Agentic Director and Workspace Advisor brokers in RoomOS 26 are already supported for our Webex and Microsoft Groups Rooms prospects. are a few different enhancements we’re making.

Microsoft Groups Rooms: native expertise, Cisco scale

Microsoft Groups Rooms on Cisco isn’t about {hardware} compatibility — it’s about giving Microsoft prospects the operational expertise they’ve been quietly asking for: the breadth of the Cisco machine portfolio, the depth of Cisco’s administration cloud, and the AI we run on prime of each — with out dropping a single function on the Microsoft facet.

Right here are some things we have now lately launched that add to Microsoft Groups Rooms prospects:

4 new devoted channels for managing MTR units in Management Hub. Most prospects operating Microsoft Groups Rooms at scale have lived with a fragmented launch pipeline — manufacturing, validation, trial, and Microsoft-approved candidate builds, every managed in other places. Beginning at InfoComm we’re bringing all 4 — Microsoft Authorised, Microsoft Verification, Trial, and Microsoft Approval Candidate — into Management Hub as first-class machine channels. One pane of glass. Identical workflow prospects already use for RoomOS. Pre-deployment validation that not requires a separate setting to run.

AgenticOps, extending with Copilot (in beta). Our prospects don’t need to function Microsoft and Cisco as two completely different worlds. With Cisco Cloud Management now bringing Collaboration Management Hub into the broader Cisco administration material, IT groups can pull Cisco workspace knowledge into the Microsoft 365 setting they already work in — utilizing Copilot to interrogate room well being, assembly high quality, and workspace utilization in pure language, alongside the remainder of their tenant. The AI doesn’t exchange the operator. It removes the swivel-chair.

Function constantly. Deploy at scale. Transfer from reactive to proactive within the office. That’s the worth of operating Microsoft Groups Rooms on Cisco.

Coming quickly: Cisco Units for Zoom Rooms

Previous to ISE 2026 we introduced Zoom for Cisco Rooms — bringing a high-quality, native Zoom assembly expertise to prospects who deploy our units within the Cisco Rooms expertise, far past what conventional SIP/H.323 (Zoom CRC) interop ever delivered. The reception was clear: prospects need a severe, supported reply for operating Zoom on Cisco {hardware}, they usually need it to really feel like a Zoom assembly — not an interop bridge and we delivered.

As we speak, we’re excited to take our collaboration with Zoom one step additional by in search of certification for Zoom Rooms. This new possibility signifies that choose Cisco Collaboration Units will probably be — good for organizations which have standardized on Zoom and need a Zoom-centric expertise from the second they stroll right into a workspace, beginning with a well-known Zoom Rooms dwelling display screen.

When licensed, a broad vary of Cisco units will allow admins to offer a constant Zoom expertise in each workspace – from the desk and huddle areas (with Cisco Desk Professional G2) to on a regular basis assembly rooms (with Cisco Room Bar or Bar Professional), from inventive brainstorming and ideation areas with the Cisco Board Professional G3) to giant convention rooms, coaching suites or lecture rooms and auditoriums (with Room Package Professional G2).

Different Cisco options prospects get when operating the Zoom Rooms utility on Cisco Units, powered by Cisco RoomOS embrace:

• Agentic Director — digital camera intelligence built-into our units that understands the context of a gathering, mechanically frames folks or teams of individuals to present the very best view potential at any second, in any house, from a number of digital camera sources – with out the end-user having to vary any settings or digital camera modes.
• Finest-in-class workspace administration — Along with Zoom Machine Administration, admins can handle their units by Cisco Collaboration Management Hub. They get further workspace-level visibility, telemetry, and insights, serving to scale video deployments throughout your complete group.
• Cisco ThousandEyes contained in the room — ThousandEyes brokers operating on Cisco units imply you not must guess if a top quality problem is all the way down to a community problem – you understand, with hop-by-hop view of the community path, accessible by way of Management Hub. So, experiences of a poor assembly on a Tuesday morning is one thing you possibly can perceive and act on instantly.
• A digital twin with Workspace Advisor — the identical functionality all our machine prospects profit from, now additionally accessible with Cisco Units for Zoom Rooms. AI constructed into our units generates a digital twin of your workspace in Management Hub that lets you perceive and in lots of circumstances treatment Day 2+ points with out ever having to ship an engineer to web site.

With this announcement, the Zoom {hardware} companion ecosystem for Zoom Rooms can increase with some of the trusted and broadly deployed {hardware} manufacturers in enterprise IT. For Cisco, this announcement marks the following step in its technique to ship the absolute best experiences with its units throughout main collaboration platforms.

Cisco Units for Zoom Rooms

The general public beta of Cisco Units for Zoom Rooms will begin throughout June 2026, with common availability anticipated September 2026.

Google Meet: sharing the way in which folks truly share

Not each assembly begins with display screen share. Quite a lot of them begin with a colleague strolling in, sitting down, speaking after which.. “Let me present you one thing”

For purchasers on Cisco RoomOS units that second used to imply reaching for a cable or connecting to Miracast or AirPlay, however till lately that was not potential in a Google Meet assembly on Cisco {hardware}. Our Google Meet WebRTC expertise on RoomOS now helps the complete vary of sharing choices Cisco prospects anticipate — HDMI, Miracast, and AirPlay and extra — so anybody strolling into the room and becoming a member of a Google Meet name can share from the machine, the way in which they already share in each different Cisco room they stroll into.

The breadth, depth, and ease nobody else can match

Step again from the person bulletins and the image is the one we’ve been working towards for years.

One Machine. Each main assembly platform.

• Webex – absolutely featured Webex conferences operating natively on Cisco units nevertheless you deploy them.
• Microsoft Groups Rooms — natively, constructed on MDEP, with the Cisco Director Agent and Copilot Facilitator operating inside it.
• Zoom — each as Zoom for Cisco Rooms and, as of September 2026, as a licensed Cisco Machine for Zoom Rooms operating on Cisco {hardware}.
• Google Meet — an enhanced WebRTC expertise with the complete sharing expertise our prospects already depend on.

One agentic office expertise. The Director Agent doesn’t care which assembly platform the decision is on. The native Notetaker doesn’t care. The room-level audio intelligence doesn’t care. The agentic office travels with the machine, not the assembly platform.

One administration aircraft. Cisco Cloud Management with Collaboration Management Hub — working alongside whichever admin software every platform brings, not towards it — surfacing Sensible Diagnostics, Workspace Rating, Workspace Advisor, ThousandEyes, and the remainder of the Cisco operational material throughout each machine, whatever the assembly platform it’s operating.

That breadth comes from one thing pretty particular to Cisco: we ship and finish to finish expertise, the working system, the office administration platform, and the community — and we’ve invested in deep partnerships with every of the foremost assembly platforms. Few distributors are positioned to convey all of that collectively on the similar time.

Should you’ve learn Espen Løberg’s current weblog put up on the final mile of AI infrastructure, you’ll have seen the architectural argument: Cisco owns each layer required to ship an agentic office — the community, the machine, the platform, and the intelligence. What InfoComm 2026 makes clear is that that very same structure extends throughout each assembly platform our prospects run. Not as compatibility. Not as a workaround. As a first-class expertise, on day one, with the AI and the management-built in.

Selecting the very best units shouldn’t imply selecting the platform. Standardizing on a gathering platform shouldn’t imply compromising on the workspace. The agentic office is one thing each worker ought to expertise — whether or not they meet on Webex, Microsoft Groups, Zoom, or Google Meet.

Go to the Cisco sales space (#C5107).

We’ve much more coming. The breadth of the partnerships we’re opening, the depth of the brokers we’re operating on the sting, and the operational material we’re bringing to IT groups managing 1000’s of rooms — throughout a number of assembly platforms, throughout a number of geographies, with constrained headcount — is, truthfully, probably the most thrilling product runway I’ve labored on in my profession.
