3.1.2 Microphone and speakers - High-quality microphones are recommended. Avoid microphones
with on and off switches unless they are of high quality. A headset that contains a boom microphone
performs best and is highly recommended. If a desktop microphone is used, a unidirectional dynamic
microphone that uses batteries is preferred.
3.1.3 Camera
Web cameras are optional. Users who do not have a camera can still participate in an audio/video
meeting. These users see video images of other speakers display in the Sametime Meeting Room client.
When a user without a camera speaks, others see the IBM Lotus Sametime logo display in place of a
video image in the Meeting Room client.
• Choose a web camera that does NOT utilize or combine a microphone and/or speaker
• On Windows machines, the camera must support Microsoft Video for Windows.
• High-quality USB or PCMCIA PC cameras
