How to choose

  1. Match the room size. Count seats and measure the distance from the screen to the farthest seat.
  2. Pick your platform. Appliance devices run Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms or Meet natively; USB devices work with any app on a laptop or room PC.
  3. Plan audio for the far seats. If people sit beyond the built-in pickup range, budget for expansion mics.
  4. Count the extras. Mount, controller, display, cabling and platform license.
