Happy Monday, #AVtweeps! I know many of you Europeans are already familiar with the four-day workweek — and here is the latest argument, via The Farm’s John Hood, for making that workweek short and keeping it that way. I don’t know how many of you drive to work or commute via train, bus, metro, etc., but all commutes can be a special kind of hell. Here’s to shortening the workweek forever!

Also, check out some of the latest product news, including the Huddly Crew, Legrand and Microsoft’s new collaboration and Crestron’s Videobar 70 Certification and more.

Keep an eye out for the next newsletter to learn a little more about everything I saw at Zoomtopia 2023. It was amazing! For now, you can check out all the product videos we shot at Zoomtopia here.

COLUMNS

+ Saturday Is the New Sunday [John Hood]

If we were to cut it to a one-day workweek, that would just be silly. That is way too over the top. We all agree that working five full days is brutal. It’s just an old-timey, out-of-date tradition. Nobody knows why it started. It was just cast upon us like a net of misery. Five days! Crazy. COVID came and we all quickly learned that Netflix still worked, even if we didn’t go to work that day. Netflix still works and microwave burritos still burn the roof of your mouth. Why were we doing all this work all of the time? “L.A. Law” is not going to binge-watch itself!
