Meeting room AV: TV, soundbar, camera, what fits a small business room?
For a 4-10 person room, one 55-65 inch TV, a decent speakerphone or soundbar with mic, and a wide-angle camera is enough. No overkill needed.
Try this first
- 1TV: 55 or 65 inch on a cable, not Chromecast-only. HDMI plus a USB-C cable that also powers the laptop is practical.
- 2Audio: a speakerphone (Jabra, Poly, Logitech) or soundbar-with-mic. More important than the camera; bad audio kills every meeting.
- 3Camera: wide-angle 4K or 1080p with auto-framing. One good unit above the screen beats laptop webcams.
- 4Connection: standardise 'BYOD' (your laptop connects via one USB-C cable) or a fixed room PC. Not a hybrid with someone's personal Teams account.
