A conference room is basically a workspace that’s for having meetings. But while it sounds pretty straightforward, modern conference rooms have had to adapt to the rise of hybrid work. That means they need some very specific functionality that enables in-person and remote participants to communicate and work together in real time.
Not only do they have to be compatible with video conferencing solutions, they also typically need to be equipped with widescreen monitors, conference phones, and high-quality webcams.
Native apps are built for the full conference room experience, which makes life much easier and promotes equality between in-room and remote participants. It’s super-simple to connect, with outstanding audio and video across all apps thanks to Poly MeetingAI.
Poly Studio X becomes a Dialpad Meetings room with no PC or Mac required, or you can use USB device mode to connect into multiple cloud service providers through a USB connection.
You could send invitations to meetings or webinars via email, but they’re less likely to go astray if you schedule meetings directly in your team calendars with Outlook or Google Calendar. Dialpad's integrations here will auto-populate information like call details and even dials out to remind guests when it’s time to start.
Poly’s Ultra HD camera has a 120-degree field of view so that every attendee is visible on screen, and there’s even an advanced automatic framing and tracking feature. Along with Dialpad’s own built-in HD video, you’ll get boardroom video performance in a huddle room package.
Want to have a brainstorming session and whiteboard some ideas with remote teammates? Dialpad’s integration with Miro lets you do exactly that: See each other on screen and work on a digital whiteboard together—just as if everyone were in the same conference room.
With the Poly Studio X range, you can control the meeting with a web controller or hardware such as the Poly TC8. The Poly TC8 works pretty much out of the box, since it has the native Dialpad Meetings app built in. Integrate with room calendars for tap-to-join, and control things like mute settings and turning the cameras on or off.
With Dialpad, you can share your screen and invite other people to video meetings in real time, even if they don't have the app downloaded. It'll automatically send an SMS message with a link that they can open in a web browser!
The Poly system provides an innovative acoustic chamber design with NoiseBlockAI to reduce unwanted background noise. The X50 beamforming mic array clearly picks up voices even if folks are sitting far away from the mic, while the Acoustic Fence captures only the voices within a defined zone.
The best meeting room solutions can cope with super-sized rooms, since the cameras and mics can pick out the speaker from the crowd. That means you can get the whole company together when needed, but avoid things becoming chaotic. With Dialpad, you can also get international dial-in access for 50+ countries, so that your teammates and clients from around the world can easily join your meetings.
Even small conference rooms and huddle rooms need quality equipment. Whether you need to use whiteboards to brainstorm with the Design team or set up a recruitment panel for video interviews, you can do that with Dialpad. And if you’re text chatting with a couple of colleagues in the Dialpad app and realize you actually need to meet, you can start a video meeting right from that convo!
Traditional board rooms have largely given way to more organic meeting spaces, but a round-the-table layout is still suited to large group meetings with VIP clients. It’s easy to set it up for remote participation by installing screens at both ends and positioning cameras to pick up various angles.
We'll keep it short—when it comes to it, there are two big reasons to invest in a dedicated system.
Laptops with integrated webcams are fine for quick catch-ups, but if you're meeting with important external folks like clients and prospects, you'll get a much more professional experience with a dedicated video conferencing system.
Conference room systems should be relatively simple to set up, with minimal technical knowledge required. You just need to make sure your peripherals (monitors, cameras, mics) are plugged in correctly—or go wireless instead.
These systems generally include a touch screen interface for starting meetings, presenting, and controlling equipment. In Dialpad, for instance, you can join scheduled meetings, share content, and move video meetings from your mobile device to your conference room TV, all with one tap.
Your video conference software is the heart of your meeting rooms.
With Dialpad Meetings, you get unlimited video meetings—and no downloads required, which makes your meetings more accessible for clients and prospects. Then there are the desktop and mobile apps for Android and iOS, plus seamless integrations with Google Calendar and Outlook.

One thing that many people forget about is actually one of the most simple things! Make sure you choose a room that’s the right size for your needs, then move on to other things like lighting and making sure that your meeting space has enough ports and outlets for all your peripherals and devices.
The size of the room is important because it directly impacts how you can use it. Do you want to fit a large team in there for regular big-team meetings? Or are you mostly just having 1 on 1 meetings?
If you’re going to have your equipment hardwired in, don't forget you'll need an HDMI display (with an HDMI cable), an Ethernet cord, and power outlets.
Depending on how big or small your business is, you'll have different requirements. In general though, here are the basics that most teams will need:
Conference cameras with wide field of view
Microphones with 360-degree range of pickup
Headsets with background noise cancellation
Conference phone with its own line
Advanced video conferencing software
(Some providers, like Cisco, sell their own hardware and software, while others partner with hardware vendors to support their apps, like Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms.)
Dialpad's partnership with Poly gives you video conferencing equipment that’s fully integrated with Dialpad Meetings software in one affordable package (and it also works with other devices, like Logitech, too).
Poly (formerly Polycom) has a wide range of hardware for conference rooms, like the Poly Studio X30 and X50 webcams which have a 120-degree field of view, making them suitable for rooms of different sizes.
The X30 connects to your meeting automatically and allows wireless content sharing. It has 4x zoom and 15-ft mic pickup, while the X50 boasts 5x zoom and 25-ft mic pickup, and even lets you set up a dual monitor display for a boardroom feel.
If you have the budget, the Poly RealPresence Group 700 offers enterprise-grade audio and video collaboration. This includes simultaneous 1080p video, high-performance speaker tracking, and one-touch dial from an integrated calendar.
Depending on what you're using, you'll have a different selection of integrations that you can use. For instance, Dialpad has many integrations with software you’re probably already using including Google Workspace, Microsoft Outlook, Miro, Salesforce, and more.
In Salesforce, for example, you can automatically log your conference calls and schedule Dialpad meetings. And the integration for Microsoft Teams lets you instantly create a new meeting link to audio or video calls, and screen share in 1:1 chats or group channels.
Dialpad Meetings works across all major operating systems and devices, which makes it ideal for businesses with a BYOD policy or for meeting face-to-face with folks remotely. You can use the desktop and mobile app across iOS, Android, PC, and Mac.
Dialpad also lets you join and host meetings from your browser, with no apps to download. You can share your screen even if a participant doesn’t have the Dialpad app, since you can send the share link as an SMS message!
Even if you’re using the latest hardware and software with the best functionality, experiencing the odd issue is still unavoidable. We’ve already mentioned testing your Internet connection and equipment, but here are a few more tips to fix common problems.
If you’re getting computer audio echo, try lowering your speaker volume to reduce feedback between your computer’s speakers or mic. (Or plug in some headphones, which should eliminate any echo on your end.)
Phone audio echo is less likely on a handheld device, but if you’re in a physical conference room with a speakerphone, make sure nobody else in the room has an active microphone on during the conference.
(If you’ve taken those steps and participants are still experiencing echo, it’s likely a problem on the individual user's end.)
