Audio
In this room size, people at the far end of the table often sit beyond a video bar's built-in pickup, so plan for table or ceiling microphones that work with your system. Options: AVer FONE700, Logitech GROUP Expansion Microphones, Yealink CP50 and Yealink CP965.
Setup in brief
Run one USB cable (or a USB extender) and HDMI from the table to the camera and display, label the connection point, and test with Windows and Mac laptops. Full details: BYOD · Large room setup
