Choose a compact collaboration display or all-in-one meeting device for personal, phone, and small rooms, then consider a Teams Rooms system with an integrated camera for small-to-medium rooms. For medium-to-large and large rooms, select a system with a mini-PC, touch console, room sensor, and camera suited to the space, while extra-large or Pro AV rooms may call for multiple cameras, a multi-camera processor, and separately planned audio.

When selecting Teams meeting room devices, compare camera coverage and tracking, microphone and speaker options, display size and quantity, touch-console controls, and room sensors for occupancy and environmental data. Also check room size, Teams Rooms on Windows or Android support, display and USB connectivity, multi-camera or BYOD needs, mounting options, and whether the system includes the required processing hardware and cables.

Teams meeting room devices typically use a room computer or appliance to connect compatible displays, USB cameras, microphones, speakers, and touch consoles, with some configurations supporting multiple displays and one-cable network connectivity. Base kits can pair with separately selected cameras and audio equipment, while appliance-based options can add a touch controller to an existing conference camera, and room sensors or AV processors can support room status and multi-camera layouts.

Plan for appropriate mounting or placement, AC power, display connections, and cable runs for the camera, touch console, mini-PC or appliance, room sensor, and audio equipment, noting that some bundles require separate audio devices or an existing conference camera. Provide a reliable network connection for the room system and touch controller, with CAT 5e cabling supported by some base kits, and account for USB, USB-C, display, and optional bring-your-own-device connections, along with one to three displays depending on the system.
