Most video bars mount in one of three ways: on a TV mount that attaches to the display's VESA holes and holds the bar just above or below the screen, on a wall bracket directly above or below the display, or on a shelf or table stand under the TV. Use the manufacturer's mount for your bar when there is one, since it fits the bar's mounting points and keeps the camera centered. Universal mounts from brands like Chief work too, if they support your bar's weight and attachment points.

Above or below the TV?
| Above the display | Below the display | |
|---|---|---|
| Eye contact | Camera looks slightly down, natural for most rooms | Camera looks up; can feel less natural |
| Best with | Displays mounted at standard height | Displays mounted high, or very large displays |
| Mic and speaker | Fine for most bars | Fine; keep clear of a credenza edge |
| Common use | Most conference rooms | Large displays and rooms where the TV is high on the wall |
Most manufacturers recommend above the display for typical rooms. Mount below when the top of the screen is too high for a good camera angle. Check your bar's installation guide for its recommended height range.
Height and clearance
- Camera height: aim for roughly seated eye level to a bit above, about 40-60 inches (1.0-1.5 m) from the floor in most rooms, depending on whether it's above or below the display. Follow your bar's guide.
- Gap to the display: keep a small gap so the bar doesn't block the screen or the TV's IR sensor.
- Tilt: use the tilt adapter if the bar sits high so the camera angles toward the table.
- Clear lens: no ceiling-mounted objects, plants or lights in front of the camera.
- Speakers: don't recess the bar into a cabinet or niche. It muffles the speakers and can cause echo.
See conference room TV height and camera placement.
VESA basics
VESA is the standard hole pattern on the back of displays (for example 400 x 400 mm or 600 x 400 mm). A VESA video bar mount sits between the display and its wall mount or cart, so it moves with the screen.
Before ordering:
- Check the display's VESA pattern and weight.
- Check that the video bar mount supports that pattern. Large displays may need an extension kit.
- Confirm the wall mount still has enough depth and weight capacity with the bar mount added.
Universal and Chief mounts
Chief and other AV mount makers sell universal video bar brackets and display mounts with integrated camera shelves. They're useful when:
- Your bar has no brand mount for your display setup.
- You need a dual-display mount with a center camera shelf.
- You want a standard mount family across many rooms.
Confirm the bracket matches your bar's attachment points and weight. Don't rely only on a shelf and gravity for a heavy bar.
Installation steps
- Plan cabling. Power, network, HDMI and USB need to reach the bar. See conference room wiring.
- Attach the mount to the display or wall following the instructions.
- Attach the bar with the supplied screws.
- Route and secure cables. Leave a service loop.
- Check level and angle on camera, then lock the tilt.
- Run a test call and check framing from the farthest seat. See test your system.
