Video Conferencing Room

A video conferencing room is a space specifically equipped for video communication sessions.

The facilities of a video conferencing room depend on the type and scale of events it is intended for, as the purpose of the equipment, its capabilities, and the quality of data transmission can vary significantly. Other factors, such as the expected number of participants, also influence the setup.

Each site should be equipped with a video conferencing terminal and connected via a network to a server that manages video conferencing resources.

The basic equipment for a simple video conferencing room includes a personal computer, video conferencing software, a webcam, and a headset with a microphone. To organize a multipoint video conference, one needs an MCU (Multipoint Control Unit) device or compatible software.

These are required when three or more users participate simultaneously. The main function of the video server is to process a large volume of audio and video streams within the network, relieving the load from individual room terminals.

In addition to the technical equipment, a video conferencing room also requires appropriate furniture, interior décor (especially at the telepresence level), and a proper lighting system.
