I would strongly challenge the idea that this is a "must." It's something to break, to maintain, to replace, and to worry about training people to use. We've tried several "meeting room" boxes and have sent them all back in favor of Zoom and Zoom rooms for our own stuff and letting everyone bring their own.
Plus, like you said, everybody has their own platform preferences and requirements. So whatever you choose, you can expect a large % of people to NOT use it. Choosing hardware and systems like this makes more sense for an office who has their own space, but far less so for shared resources. The two most high value improvements I've seen for video conferencing is adjustable table lighting to help people look nicer on camera, and dedicated Ethernet cables and adapters to ensure people can and do plug their computers in for the most stable internet connection possible. -Alex On Nov 19, 2018, 4:35 PM -0500, Carl Sullivan <c...@yourdesk.com.au>, wrote: > Hey Guys, > > In the 7 years, we have been running coworking, I have noticed a shift from > meeting spaces that have the optional extra video conferencing system to it > being a must in almost any meeting room that is 3 people or more. > > The challenge is selecting the right video conferencing hardware that can > support a wide range of solutions since every company who is a member of our > space has a different software stack they prefer. > > SO... what are your recommendations for video conferencing hardware?
