InfoComm 2026: Cisco Goes All-In on Zoom Rooms

At InfoComm 2026, UC Today’s Marcus Law speaks with Espen Løberg, VP & GM for the Collaboration Devices business at Cisco, and Jeff Smith, Head of Product, Workplace at Zoom, about the next phase of the Cisco and Zoom partnership.

The companies have announced full Zoom Rooms modality across the Cisco devices portfolio, extending their work beyond native Zoom meeting capabilities. For customers, the move combines the Zoom Rooms experience with Cisco’s hardware quality, device security, edge artificial intelligence (AI), manageability, insights, and assurance.

Espen and Jeff discuss what the announcement means for users in meeting rooms, how AI capabilities such as My Notes and Smart Name Tags can improve meeting intelligence, and why joint customers have pushed both companies toward a deeper workplace collaboration experience.
They also look ahead to what comes next: broader interoperability, smarter workplace orchestration, and the evolution of meeting rooms into connected, AI-enabled workplace environments.
