Building an Effective Microsoft Teams Rooms Setup<\/h2>\n

Select the Room<\/h3>\n

The first thing to do when setting up for Microsoft Teams Rooms is to select the room you want the meeting to take place in.<\/p>\n

The room should be a suitable size for the number of physical attendees, so you can capture everyone reasonably \u2014 as a large attendance will require more money to be spent on more specialised Microsoft-certified equipment.<\/p>\n

Select the Correct Hardware<\/h3>\n

Hardware is important, as all of the equipment that you use when using Rooms to communicate has to be Microsoft-certified.<\/p>\n

Touch Control<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Camera<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Being able to see your coworkers is crucial for any virtual meeting. There are many Microsoft-certified cameras that work with Rooms, and they all depend on the size of your room.<\/p>\n

Audio<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Being able to hear everyone in the meeting is also important, and a good sound system is crucial to ensuring that anyone in the physical room can hear employees patching in from remote locations.<\/p>\n

Microphone<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Inversely, another vital aspect is having a good microphone or set of microphones so everyone in the room can be heard by those connecting through the internet.<\/p>\n

Ensuring that you have good coverage is important, otherwise, the meetings won\u2019t be as seamless as Rooms is trying to make them.<\/p>\n
