What size room the Cisco Desk covers, how many people it suits and when you need extra microphones.
Short answer
We recommend it for focus rooms (1–2 people).
The specs that decide room size
| Field of view | 64° horizontal, 50° vertical |
| Camera | 8 MP, up to 30 fps, privacy shutter |
| Microphones | 4-mic array with AI noise removal |
| Speakers | Full-range center speaker with passive bass radiators, 80 Hz–20 kHz |
How room sizes map to people
| Room type | Typical people | Typical size |
|---|---|---|
| Focus (this one) | 1–2 | Under 80 sq ft |
| Huddle | 2–4 | 80–150 sq ft |
General industry guidance; furniture, room shape and acoustics change what works.
When to add microphones
If people sit beyond the built-in microphones' pickup range, or the table is long, add expansion or table microphones.
