A conference room interactive display is a large touchscreen that people can write on, control meetings from, and use for video calls. The best type for most meeting rooms is an all-in-one board with a built-in camera, mics and speakers that runs Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms or Google Meet natively, such as the Logitech Rally Board 65 or Neat Board Pro. A plain touch TV is cheaper but needs a separate computer and video bar.
Three types of interactive display
| Type | What it includes | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| All-in-one video board | Touchscreen, camera, mics, speakers, Teams/Zoom/Meet built in | Hybrid meetings with whiteboarding |
| Interactive flat panel (IFP) | Touchscreen, often with Android or an OPS PC slot | Classrooms, training, local whiteboarding |
| Touch monitor or touch TV | Touchscreen only, connects by HDMI and USB | Rooms with an existing PC and camera |

How they work with Teams, Zoom and Meet
- Teams Rooms: boards run Teams Rooms on Android. You can join meetings by touch, and use Microsoft Whiteboard to draw during the meeting. Remote participants see and can edit the whiteboard.
- Zoom Rooms: runs as a Zoom Rooms appliance with Zoom's whiteboard.
- Google Meet: supported boards run Meet hardware with whiteboarding and touch control.
- BYOD: many boards also accept a laptop over USB-C or HDMI so the board acts as a display, camera and speaker for any app.
Each platform needs a room license. See Teams Rooms Basic, Zoom Rooms license cost and Google Meet hardware license.
Choosing a size
| Room | People | Board size |
|---|---|---|
| Desk or focus room | 1-2 | 27-32 in |
| Huddle | 2-5 | 50-55 in |
| Small to medium | 4-10 | 65 in |
| Medium to large, classrooms | 8+ | 75-86 in, or a board plus a second display |
People must stand at the board to write, so mount it with the bottom edge low enough for comfortable writing, typically around 30-36 in (76-91 cm) off the floor. That is lower than a regular meeting TV. See conference room TV height.
Mounting options
- Wall mount: permanent rooms. Neat Board 50 Wall Mount, Neat Board Pro Wall Mount.
- Floor stand: when walls can't take the weight. Neat Board 50 Adaptive Stand.
- Mobile cart: shared spaces and classrooms. Logitech Rally Board 65 Cart.
Touch board vs TV plus video bar
| Interactive board | Regular display + video bar | |
|---|---|---|
| Whiteboarding | Yes, on-screen with pens | Needs a content camera like Logitech Scribe |
| Camera position | Built into the board | Above or below the TV |
| Cost per inch | Higher | Lower |
| Large-room options | Limited above 86 in | Any display size, dual screens |
If people rarely draw, a standard display and video bar costs less. If they collaborate on the screen every day, a board pays off.
What to check before buying
- Platform support for the meeting service you use
- Wall strength: 65 inch boards often weigh over 100 lb (45 kg)
- Power and network at the mounting height
- Room depth vs the board's mic and camera reach
- Touch controller or not: boards can be controlled by touch, but a table controller helps when people sit far away
