Polycom NoiseBlock for Conference Callers Who Don’t Know How to Use the Mute Button


Face it, when you’re on a conference call you’re either zoning out to enjoy a few moments of meditation or you’re doing something else entirely.

The Harvard Business Review article, What People Are Really Doing When They’re on a Conference Call, explains that, “It turns out many U.S. employees would rather do just about anything rather than listen intently to their coworkers from a remote location.”

Inevitably, just as you began to successfully tune out everyone else on the call you get distracted by another caller’s dog barking in the background or a keyboard clacking away.

Who needs that?

Introducing Polycom NoiseBlock, “a new feature on the Polycom RealPresence Collaboration Server that removes distracting noise from meeting conversations so everyone can be heard clearly – and people don’t have to mute themselves,” says Laura Shay at Polycom.

Of course, it’s harder to get away with doing other work or eating while on a video call but at least with NoiseBlock you can’t be accused of interrupting anyone.
