Select teleconferencing equipment that lists support for your preferred meeting platform, then confirm that its connection types, control method, and network requirements match your existing AV system. For larger rooms, consider an AV processor that supports multiple cameras, microphones, speakers, and third-party digital signal processors, while smaller spaces may suit an all-in-one video bar with a touch controller and Power over Ethernet (PoE) connectivity.

Plan for wired Ethernet connectivity, with Cat 5e or better cabling for touch consoles and network-connected cameras, microphones, speakers, and processors; some systems use Power over Ethernet (PoE), while others connect through USB-C or a Gigabit Ethernet port. Provide the appropriate PoE budget or a nearby AC outlet for equipment with an external power adapter, and confirm that the network supports the required bandwidth, device connections, and audio-over-IP traffic.

All-in-one teleconferencing systems combine the camera, microphones, speakers, and often a touch controller in a streamlined setup, which can help simplify installation in huddle, small, medium, and some larger rooms. Modular systems use separate cameras, microphones, speakers, and processors, giving integrators more flexibility for multi-camera layouts, expanded microphone and speaker coverage, and larger or more complex conference spaces.

Teleconferencing equipment can improve video framing with features such as auto framing, speaker tracking, and multi-camera layouts, while cardioid microphones with off-axis rejection help focus pickup on participants and reduce unwanted room sound. For broader room coverage, systems may support multiple cameras, microphones, and speakers, and touch consoles, Power over Ethernet (PoE) connectivity, and one-cable deployment can simplify operation and installation.
