TIPS FOR MINIMIZING CLUTTER IN HUDDLE ROOMS Best Practices Front of room audio is best for small spaces Tailor A/V components to the room’s use Minimize the number of cables to/on table Avoid Crowding small conference tables with devices Trying to create a mini-boardroom in every room Overwhelming users with too many options Meetings are changing.

TIPS FOR DELIVERING GREAT AUDIO TO ANY SPACE Best Practices Tailor your audio solution to the room For huddle and small rooms, use integrated speaker and mics at front of room For larger spaces, separating speakers & mics provides optimal audio performance Know your mic range – provide sufficient mics to cover the full room, including whiteboards Avoid One audio solution for all room sizes Too many hard surfaces – glass walls, whiteboards, blank walls, table tops Meetings are changing.

TIPS FOR LIGHTING DIFFICULT SPACES Best Practices Invest in adjustable window coverings – light changes throughout the day and year Bounce light off walls or experiment with ways to light faces, not just the top of the table Strive for even light, even if it means the whole room may be slightly over- or under-lit Select a camera with automatic light and color balancing technology such as RightLightTM Avoid Never place the camera so that it is aimed directly at a window Radically different light conditions in different parts of the room Meetings are changing.

CAMERA AND SCREEN PLACEMENT Camera Best Practices Place camera at or above eye level Camera focal length and field of view should align with room size and table placement. Bigger isn’t always better. Select a camera with automatic people framing technology like RightSightTM Screen Best Practices Adjust screen height to allow camera placement at eye level One large screen may provide a better experience than two small screens If single screen, camera can be above or below Camera should be placed between dual screens Meetings are changing.
