The pace of technological developments today is making it increasingly hard to predict beyond next week. It seems that almost every other day we get another game changing breakthrough. However, in the audiovisual (AV) world a few trends will almost certainly come into play this year, as AI helps to solve age old problems across education, government, healthcare, and corporate environments. Here are five key trends that will shape the AV landscape in 2025.

1. AI Powered Video Collaboration

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing, well, just about everything. But it is having a particularly powerful and positive impact on video conferencing and remote collaboration. “Smart” PTZ cameras with auto-tracking capabilities have been enhancing virtual meetings by intelligently framing speakers and adjusting views dynamically for several years now. Today, multicamera solutions are taking this to the next level, with AI directed camera switches and framing providing a professionally directed experience. These smart systems improve engagement, reduce the need for manual control, and ensure a seamless experience for hybrid teams.

2. Enhanced BYOM (Bring Your Own Meeting) Solutions

In an ideal world, every meeting room would be properly integrated with a video system running a room software license. Whether it be Zoom, MS Teams, Webex, or RingCentral, there are many advantages to using the room version of their software in meeting rooms, rather than the typical desktop license.

In the real world, many organizations do not want to purchase room licenses, and/or they don’t want to limit the room to only having one type of meeting. They simply want to join their meeting from their laptop, using the standard meeting software. But in the meeting room they want the video up on the big screen, and they want to use the big meeting room camera and audio system.

BYOM technology allows users to leverage their video service of choice on their laptops, integrating seamlessly with meeting room AV equipment. In 2025, expect more vendors to address this demand with new offerings and greater ease of use.

3. Hybrid Learning and Remote Training Optimization

While some are talking about “return to the office”, education and corporate training programs are increasingly adopting hybrid models. Advanced AV tools, such as interactive document cameras and lecture capture systems, are incorporating AI to make remote learning more interactive and immersive. Previously, the goal with remote learning was merely to ensure remote participants receive the same quality of instruction as those in physical classrooms. With AI advancements we can expect improved hybrid learning environments for both remote and in person learners.

4. Telesitting and Telemedicine Expansion in Healthcare

Healthcare providers are leveraging AV technology to improve patient monitoring in addition to traditional telehealth services. AI telesitting solutions are reducing the strain on medical staff by enabling remote patient observation, as video conferencing tools continue to enhance doctor/patient interactions. In 2025, expect further integration of AV technology with healthcare AI to improve diagnostics and patient engagement.

5. Government and Enterprise Focus on AV Security and Compliance

With the increasing use of AV solutions in government and enterprise settings, security and compliance remain top priorities. TAA/NDAA-compliant AV equipment is becoming the standard, ensuring organizations meet regulatory requirements while maintaining secure communication channels. As cyber threats evolve, encrypted video and audio transmission will be a key focus for enterprises looking to safeguard sensitive information.

Conclusion

The AV industry is on a path of continuous innovation, driven by AI, hybrid collaboration needs, and the demand for secure, quality communication. Organizations that embrace these trends will not only future-proof their AV investments but also enhance productivity and engagement for their hybrid teams. As 2025 unfolds, staying informed and adapting to these emerging technologies will be crucial for success in an increasingly digital world.
