In this edition of UC Big News, host Kieran Devlin is joined by leading UC analysts Zeus Kerravala and Blair Pleasant to unpack three headline-grabbing stories shaking up the collaboration world. First up, the team shares takeaways from Zoom Perspectives, where Zoom’s vision of an AI-powered “Workplace” was more compelling than ever. Then they turn to the reported rift between Microsoft and OpenAI, and what it signals for enterprise AI partnerships. Finally, things get slightly more surreal with a discussion of Microsoft Teams meetings being enabled in Mercedes-Benz vehicles — and whether that’s a productivity win or just a corporate boundary too far.

Enterprise AI and collaboration took a weird and wonderful turn this week — and UC Big News is here for all of it. The trio takes stock of what’s real, what’s hype, and what IT leaders should watch closely.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

Zoom’s AI Work Platform evolves — With live agent copilots and better cross-surface integration, Zoom’s once-vague AI story is turning into a practical, productised vision for modern work.

Microsoft and OpenAI tensions rise — Reports suggest growing disagreements over product direction and control. Blair and Zeus explore why betting everything on one AI partner could create long-term risks.

Teams in your car? — Mercedes-Benz drivers can now take Microsoft Teams calls on the road. The panel asks: is this a helpful innovation for field workers, or a work/life balance killer on wheels?
