unified device management

Unified device management (UDM) is a strategy for controlling diverse hardware from a single console. On WindowsForum.com, discussions highlight platforms like OptiSigns that manage meeting-room displays, Zoom Rooms, Microsoft Teams Rooms, Cisco Webex Rooms, and Google Meet hardware.
