I am setting up a small office for about ~10 people. Laptops and network are all OK, but I'm looking for inspiration for the meeting room IT setup. I want a screen in there so people can present material (locally, from their own laptops). Of course, these days, this room is frequently used for group videoconferencing.
The "conventional" solution is to get a monitor/projector, a webcam and a desk microphone/speaker, and plug them all in when starting. However, I'm keen to take the opportunity to see if there's any better tech that makes the use of this simpler (i.e., so that the host/presented doesn't need to plug into three items, and to avoid wires everywhere). The screen seems to have a simple enough solution: casting (using an MS Wireless Display Adaptor, perhaps), but finding similarly wireless speaker/microphones and webcams seems harder. In an ideal world, we'd have just one "thing" for the presenter/host to connect to that provides all these functions (screen/camera/speaker/mike).
Has anyone a recommended setup / technology / set of products I should look at to make an easy-to-use videoconferencing/presentation room?
We're an all-MS house, if that matters. Thanks!
