What size room the Poly Studio USB covers, how many people it suits and when you need extra microphones.
Short answer
We recommend it for huddle rooms (2–4 people) and small rooms (4–6 people).
The specs that decide room size
| Field of view | 120° diagonal |
| Zoom | 5x |
| Camera | 4K, 30 fps |
| Microphones | Six-element beamforming array |
| Speakers | 100 Hz to 20 kHz, 90 dB sensitivity |
How room sizes map to people
| Room type | Typical people | Typical size |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | 1–2 | Under 80 sq ft |
| Huddle (this one) | 2–4 | 80–150 sq ft |
| Small (this one) | 4–6 | 150–250 sq ft |
| Medium | 6–10 | 250–400 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. These work with the Studio USB: Poly Studio Table Microphone.
If your room is bigger or smaller
