Most offices are bad places to record. Glass walls echo. Air conditioning hums under every take. Someone opens the door just as your guest makes their best point. That’s why ViOS built a dedicated podcast and video room. Here’s what’s inside, who it’s for and why it’s worth using.
The problem with recording at the office
Good audio needs a quiet, treated room. Most workplaces are the opposite. Open-plan layouts, hard surfaces and constant movement all show up in a recording. You can fix some of it in editing, but you can’t remove a ringing phone from the middle of a sentence.
The usual fix is a professional recording studio. Those are built for musicians, often cost more than a business recording needs, and rarely sit near where your team works. We wanted something in between: a room built for spoken audio and video, in the same building as your meeting rooms.
What’s inside the ViOS podcast room
The room is plug and play. You don’t need an audio engineer to start recording. It includes:
- A podcast console with two Rode microphone inputs
- Two pairs of Rode headphones
- A green screen for video recording
- Soundproofing and sound insulation
- Power sockets, LAN ports, redundant fibre-optic internet and Wi-Fi
- Ergonomic seating for up to 6 people
- Videoconference equipment for remote guests
The podcast room is bookable at ViOS Downtown and ViOS Autograph. You can see it alongside our other rooms on the meeting rooms page.
Who the podcast room is for
Founders and executives use it to record company podcasts, interviews and LinkedIn video. A quiet room and a good microphone make a short clip sound credible.
B2B marketing teams use it for webinars, customer stories and product explainers. The green screen helps when you need a clean background for video.
Coaches, consultants and trainers use it to build online courses and record client material. The videoconference setup means a guest can join from anywhere.
Members and visitors use it for one-off recordings without investing in their own equipment.
Why business podcasts are worth it
Podcasts reach a valuable audience. According to Edison Research’s Podcast Consumer 2025 study, 44% of listeners have bought a product after hearing it advertised on a podcast. Business owners also make up a notable share of weekly listeners. For a B2B brand, that’s a direct line to decision-makers.
Recording also gives you more than one piece of content. One 30-minute episode can become a blog post, several short video clips and a newsletter feature.
What should you record first?
Start with what you already explain every week. The questions clients ask on sales calls. The way you onboard a new customer. The story behind your company. These make strong first episodes because you know the material and your audience already wants the answers.
Interview formats work well too. Invite a client, a partner or a colleague, and let the conversation do the work. Two microphones and two pairs of headphones make that setup simple.
Tips for your first session
Book more time than you plan to record. Use the first part to set levels and do a short test. Bring a rough outline, not a script, so the conversation sounds natural. And keep water nearby. Your voice will thank you by the second hour.
