Every week our management team uses our green room to record a video message with the latest news, call-outs, numbers, etc. The use is not limited to our management though, and the room can be used by any of us including our customers. It allows the presenter to appear in a different environment during a video conference or provide a training in a different format.
Please check out the video below and learn more about how the green room works:

How does the technology in the background work?
Most of the tools used to create the green room experience are standard Cisco video equipment as it is important to have the best possible audio and video quality. On top of this, a video mixer is required to filter out anything green from input A and replace it with the content provided to input B (make sure you don’t come dressed in green). This combined signal is then sent to the Cisco video codec, which provides a local preview and is used to dial into a video session or a video recording platform. Please refer to our schema below for a brief overview:
