Providing the right furniture and ensuring optimum placement is key to providing the perfect meeting room. We have outlined examples scenarios and things to consider below.
Midsize Room
Meetings that are generally more formal or structured in nature, where premium audio, video and content sharing is a priority.
Tables should be fixed and centered between front of room displays. In smaller rooms the tables may be attached to the wall, but in larger spaces they must be separated to accommodate camera considerations.
Large Huddle Area
Meetings that are generally less formal or un-structured in nature, where collaboration, co-creation and brainstorming is a priority.
Tables and collaborative equipment can have flexible positions and should accommodate groups of people working at either the tables or the equipment.
Large Multipurpose Room
Meetings where premium audio, video, presenting and active collaboration is a priority.
A combination of use cases from other meeting scenarios can be combined to form multi-function rooms. Video meetings and collaborative creation can be achieved simultaneously and equally well.

Microphone coverage that captures crisp, clear audio from every corner of the room.
Table-top and ceiling microphones provide maximum coverage for vocal fidelity, especially if conversations happening locally need to be shared remotely. However, they require a more involved installation and table-top microphones may be more obtrusive to users sitting at the table.
Wall mounted solutions provide the voice at the front of the room where remote participants are viewed. Installations are generally less involved, but local conversations that are off-axis or at a distance may not be picked up as clearly as though directed at the front of the room screens.

Speaker coverage needs to project voice and presentation sound to all the participants in a space.
Table-top and ceiling speakers provide maximum coverage. Appropriate sound coverage is important in larger spaces where many participants are located further away from the front of the room. The volume remains constant for all inroom participants.
Wall mounted solutions provide the voice at the front of the room where remote participants are viewed. This location of the speakers make it sound like the audio is coming from the remote participants. The volume will decrease the further away the inroom participants are from the speaker.

An auto-tracking camera with a wide field view so everyone in the room can be seen clearly, speakers can be followed and placed in frame.
Smaller spaces generally have fewer people in the room with seating closer to the camera. This scenario requires a wide field of view to capture those close to the camera in a single wide shot.
Rooms that are greater than 4m should be equipped with a camera that has optical zoom and a narrower field of view. This optimises the ability for that camera to pick up in-room participants at a distance. Many of these cameras will provide functions such as speaker
tracking or intelligent framing options for a richer remote experience.
