Should the AV room equipment sit in its own VLAN or on the office network
A dedicated VLAN for AV devices is usually wise, it limits broadcast storm risk and gives you QoS control. But it must not be so strict that the update flow breaks.

Try this first
- Plan a dedicated VLAN for room systems, controllers and displays, not the same as guest WiFi or office clients.
- Allow outbound to Microsoft 365, Zoom or Google Meet endpoints and to vendor portals like Logitech Sync or Poly Lens.
- For calendar links, the AV VLAN must reach the right mailbox endpoints, otherwise One-Tap-Join breaks.
- Apply QoS to video traffic, EF for audio and AF41 for video is a common baseline on enterprise switches.
- Document which switch ports belong to which VLAN, otherwise cabling gets crossed during refits.
- Test for a few weeks under real load, monitor packet loss and jitter, not only ping.
