Custom Workflow Automation
Tailored macros, presets, and automation sequences to streamline operations.
Reduced Support Overhead
Fewer user errors and service calls through intuitive system design.
Custom Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) & Support
We design intuitive, branded user interfaces that simplify system control across touch panels, mobile devices, and desktop platforms. Every interface is built to improve usability, reduce training time, and enhance operational efficiency.
Microsoft Teams Rooms & Zoom Rooms Custom Control Integration
Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms are the platforms your users already know — but the room doesn’t stop at the camera and microphone. Ford AV programs custom control system integrations that extend the native Teams or Zoom interface to put full room automation at users’ fingertips, without ever leaving the familiar conferencing UI.
Using platforms like Crestron, Q-SYS, Extron, and AMX, our programmers build custom room control panels that appear directly within your Teams or Zoom Rooms controller. Users get one single touchpoint to join a meeting and simultaneously manage every aspect of the room — no juggling separate remotes or wall panels.
What You Can Control From a Single Interface
- Motorized shade and blind raise/lower
- Lighting scene presets (presentation mode, collaboration mode, off)
- Display and projector power and source switching
- Camera presets and PTZ control
- Audio volume and microphone mute sync
- Room divider and partition automation
- HVAC and thermostat control
- “One-touch” meeting start macros that trigger all of the above simultaneously
How It Works
Control system platforms like Crestron and Q-SYS have developed certified apps and APIs that embed a custom Room Controls panel directly inside the Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms interface. When a user taps the Room Controls icon on their Teams or Zoom touch panel, a fully branded, custom-programmed interface appears — built and maintained by Ford AV programmers to match your exact room requirements and workflow.
For Zoom Rooms, Ford AV leverages the Zoom Rooms Control System API (ZR-CSAPI) alongside native Room Controls to give control processors direct, two-way communication with the Zoom Room. For Microsoft Teams Rooms, we deploy certified control apps through platforms like Crestron and Extron that surface custom GUIs natively within the MTR interface.
