AV Design Trends for Modern Workspaces in 2025

As the way we work evolves, so does the technology we use to stay connected. The shift toward hybrid teams, flexible spaces, and digital-first communication has turned professional AV design into a critical piece of workplace infrastructure Whether you're upgrading a single conference room or building out a new office from scratch, staying on top of AV design trends can help you create a workspace that works. 

Here’s a look at the top Audio Visual trends shaping modern workspaces in 2025 and how your business can take advantage of them. 

 

1. Multi-Purpose Meeting Spaces 

Gone are the days of rigid, single-use rooms. Companies are now building flexible AV environments that can support everything from video calls to in-person workshops — all in the same space. 

Modern Audio-Visual systems are designed for: 

  • Touchless control via touch panels or apps 

  • Scalable audio and video for 2-person huddles or 20-person meetings 

In these spaces, the tech adapts to the room’s use — not the other way around. 

 

2. Smart Camera & Microphone Systems 

Audio Visual design in 2025 puts a major emphasis on intelligent audio and video. Systems now include features like: 

  • Auto-framing cameras that follow the speaker 

  • Beamforming microphones that isolate active voices and reduce background noise 

  • AI-powered DSPs that automatically adjust levels in real time 

Brands like Shure, Q-SYS, Vaddio, and Sennheiser are leading the way in this space. 

 

3. Zoom, Teams, & BYOD Rooms

Designing around a specific collaboration platform is now standard. More companies are asking: Should we build a Zoom Room, a Microsoft Teams Room, or go with a Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) setup? 

Here’s what’s trending: 

  • Zoom Rooms for flexibility and clean UI 

  • Microsoft Teams Rooms for Microsoft 365 integrations 

  • BYOD Rooms for organizations that prioritize open access and varied users 

The key is designing an AV system with minimal friction that supports your team's workflow. 

 

4. Wireless Everything!

Cables are out. Wireless solutions are in. From BARCO ClickShare to Crestron AirMedia. Companies are moving toward setups where users can share content, start a video call, or control the room without tangled cables. Wireless AV systems reduce clutter, minimize setup time, and make rooms more accessible for all users. 

 

5. Acoustic Treatment as a Standard 

As more offices adopt glass walls, open ceilings, and hard floors, acoustic treatment has moved from a “nice to have” to a necessity. 

Modern Audio Visual design includes: 

  • Sound-absorbing panels and ceiling tiles 

  • Strategic mic placement to avoid echo and reverberation

  • Noise masking systems to reduce distractions in open office areas 

 

6. Integration With Smart Building Systems

Audio-Visual modern designs integrate with your buildings network infrastructure including: 

  • Room booking platforms 

  • Lighting and shades 

  • Environmental controls 

  • Security and access systems 

7. User Experience  

The best AV system is the one your team actually uses. That’s why more companies are prioritizing intuitive interfaces, automated presets, and training programs as part of their AV build. 

At Teer Audio Visual, we include post-installation training and offer support plans to ensure your team feels confident using the technology from day one. 

 

8. Sustainability in Audio-Visual Design

Sustainability is now a consideration in AV projects. Businesses are choosing: 

  • Scalable integrations 

  • Modular gear  

  • Digital signage
