Audio
A USB video bar covers this room size on its own. For a laptop-only huddle space without a video bar, a speakerphone is enough: AVer FONE540, Jabra Speak 810, Jabra Speak2 75 and Poly Sync 60.
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 · Small room setup
