Unsure whether a space should be a huddle room or a bigger meeting room
Huddle rooms are for two to four people, usually one all-in-one bar and one screen. A mid-size or large room starts from six people and needs more mics, sometimes a second screen and better acoustics. A common mistake is a huddle bar in a ten-seat room, remote attendees are never happy.
Try this first
- 1Count the seats you actually use, not the chairs in the room today, four to six is huddle, seven to twelve is medium, above that is large.
- 2Measure the distance from the furthest seat to the camera, above three metres you want a PTZ or an extra ceiling mic, not a 4K bar.
- 3Check if presentations or discussion dominates, presentation rooms need a second display or dual-monitor layout, discussion can run on one.
- 4Plan the meetings per day, a huddle that is always full deserves promotion to medium with its own calendar and a room display.
- 5Do not only count device cost, a bigger room needs acoustic treatment and often a DSP, that is not in the bar price.
- 6Document per room the type, capacity and room system, otherwise someone books a sales pitch in a three-person huddle.
