Ensure room-based policies, calendar integrations, and meeting room settings align with your organization’s IT guidelines.
• Calibrate cameras and test audio: Run the automatic room calibration to optimize framing, exposure, and audio pickup. Verify the microphone array and speaker channels, adjust microphone sensitivity, and confirm that noise suppression performance meets your room’s acoustic profile.
• Update firmware and apply security policies: Check for the latest software updates and apply security policies recommended by your IT team. Schedule automated updates during off-hours to minimize disruption.
• Customize room settings and accessories: Configure occupancy sensing, calendar appointment displays, and any smart room accessories you plan to use. Create meeting presets for different room configurations, so the setup is ready with a single tap for recurring sessions.
