An inclusive meeting experience for everyone in any room with Microsoft Teams Rooms

[ad_1]

An inclusive meeting experience for everyone in any room with Microsoft Teams Rooms. In today’s modern workplace, teams come together from around the world to get things done. Microsoft Teams Rooms helps those teams keep everyone engaged and creates an inclusive experience for people in the room and remote viewers. Today’s update of the Microsoft Teams Rooms app brings a new content camera feature that enables users to intelligently include a traditional whiteboard into their Teams meeting. Powered by Artificial Intelligence in the Microsoft cloud, a dedicated content camera intelligently detects, crops and frames the in-room whiteboard and shares its content with remote meeting participants. Even when a presenter moves in front of the whiteboard remote participants will be able to see the content right through them.

Work like you are in one place, with Microsoft Teams Rooms

Content camera with intelligent capture
The room user experience is simple: during a meeting, a presenter uses the console to select the Content Camera and from there the app can intelligently detect, crop. and frame the whiteboard. Content drawn on the board is shared with remote meeting participants.

Remote attendees get a clear view of the whiteboard even when a presenter moves around in front of it, which makes the presentation easier to follow and keeps everyone engaged.

Easy to Deploy
IT Admins can add a certified content camera (using a USB 2.0 cable or extender) to a free USB port in the Microsoft Teams Rooms system. After the content camera is connected to the Microsoft Teams Rooms, the admin can select the respective camera for content input in the app’s Device Settings menu.  You can find more details on the setup here: https://aka.ms/contentcameraguide.
