Most boardrooms are bought as a display and a codec. The meeting, meanwhile, is a sequence: arrive, sit, present, call a colleague in another city, argue, decide, leave. If that sequence needs a technician, the room is unfinished.
Crystal treats the boardroom as a system. Screen size follows the table, not a catalogue. Microphones follow the people, not the centrepiece. Lighting has a state called “video call” and a state called “discussion”. Control is a short list of those states.
The test is ordinary. A host who does not work in IT should be able to start the room, share a laptop, and bring in a remote director without apologising. If they can, the technology has become furniture. That is the point.
None of this requires spectacle. A calm picture, intelligible speech and a single way to begin will outperform a larger screen that nobody trusts.
