Conducting Successful Meetings

Conducting a successful meeting in an OTX room is easy. Because you don’t have to manage cameras, microphones, speakers, remote controls, and other equipment, you can be free to concentrate on making your meeting as effective as possible.

Meeting Tips

This section provides you with tips on how to take full advantage of the extraordinary video and audio in the room, and provides information that you should know if you are the meeting coordinator.

Video Tips

Polycom OTX cameras are located under the camera shroud above the center display. To achieve the best video from the cameras:

•Do not sit in front of the table seams. If you do, your image will look “split” to the far-site participants. You can be sure to avoid the seams by sitting in one of the designated seating locations.

•Avoid repetitive motions that may distract other participants, such as tapping your pen or fingers on the tabletop. Remember that, in telepresence conferences, all movements, expressions, and gestures are visible to everyone in the meeting.

Audio Tips

Polycom’s superior audio and digital Ceiling Microphone Arrays are extremely sensitive. Keep in mind that they will pick up all sound in the room, even gentle noises and whispers — and even if you are not in camera range.
