Meeting room scheduler makes it simple to locate and reserve the appropriate room. There are lot of meeting room schedulers available in the market which fetches the room availability from Exchange Online or Exchange OnPremise Accounts.

A content camera can be used with a Microsoft Teams Room system. A content camera collaborates with image-processing software and a whiteboard to enable a presenter to draw on an analog whiteboard and share the content with remote participants.

In this blog we will run through the steps to enable content camera on Teams Room Systems.

There are few prerequisites that needs to be prepared before trying this setup:

1. This content camera should be pointed at the room’s whiteboard. Please keep in mind that content camera has physical infrastructure requirements that must be considered. It’s usually a piece of equipment (a supported content camera) that hangs from the ceiling and faces the whiteboard.
2. The writing board must be mandatorily white in color. Other colors are not supported.
3. A supported content camera as per Microsoft Recommendation on this link needs to be used mandatorily for this functionality.

The camera’s positioning is influenced by the size of the whiteboard used for sharing. The following are some suggestions for board size from Microsoft:

• 3–6 ft. (0.9–1.8 m) wide — Supported best suited for medium sized rooms.
• 6–9 ft. (1.8–2.7 m) wide — Recommended best recommended for medium-large rooms.
• 9–12 ft. (2.7–3.6 m) wide — Supported suitable for board rooms.
• Above 12 ft. (3.6 m) wide — camera covers 9–12 ft. (2.7–3.6 m) and crops the rest.

The camera can be placed up to 6 in. (152 mm) above the whiteboard’s top and centered on the whiteboard.

At this moment the Teams Room must be running on Windows and must be within 10 meters range from the mobile device.
