Setting up a Modern Conference Room

Today's conference rooms are flexible spaces for smaller groups to gather, share and innovate. But whether you are designing a team's huddle room or outfitting a home office, securing the right software and hardware doesn't need to break the bank.

The Right Conference Room Technology

Flexibility is the theme — so along with cost, prioritize functionality, accessibility and ease of use with a software-as-a-service (SaaS) approach to communications.

The Nuts and Bolts of Conference Room Equipment

Here's the hardware that will kickstart any collaborative hub.


PC/Mac

For a group workspace, opt for a mini PC/Mac and link to a display screen. When collaborating from a desktop computer or laptop, take a moment to confirm System Requirements to make sure everything runs smoothly and there are no delays.

Mobile/Landline

Need to step out? Take your meetings with you using FreeConferenceCall.com mobile apps for Android™ and iPhone®. For anyone who can't video conference, include a local in-country dial-in number as an option for participants.

Camera/Webcam

The internal webcam on a laptop will work for a video conference, but keep in mind that mini computers often are not equipped with internal webcams. For older desktops and video conference rooms, opt for a plug-and-play conference camera.

Mic & Speakers

For the team, get a speakerphone built for conferencing that meets your room size requirements. When VoIP dialing from a desktop or laptop, use the internal microphone and speakers plus a headset to minimize background noise.
