Set up a meeting zone on Board, Desk, and Room devices

With the Meeting Zone feature, you can now ensure that only people within the relevant area (meeting zone) are in focus, minimizing distractions from outside the zone.

For spaces like open offices or glass-walled meeting rooms, this feature is particularly useful as it minimizes distractions caused by including people in the background during meetings. When someone stands outside the defined meeting zone, they won't be included in the automatic framing of the video. Only people within the meeting zone will be counted.

You can easily configure the meeting zone using the touch interface. You can also configure it through the API (see the API reference guide here).

By enabling this feature, you can make sure that your meetings focus on the right people and minimize disruptions from the surrounding environment.

Note that Speakertrack 60 is not supported.

Set up in Control Hub

In Control Hub, you can manage and enable Meeting Zones in bulk. Read here to see how to access the device configurations and how to set them up for individual devices or in bulk.

In Control Hub, once you have selected your device and accessed all its configurations, you can add the Meeting Zone settings:

  • Cameras > Speaker Track > Meeting Zone > Area

    Write the string of coordinate pairs that defines the meeting zone. A meeting zone is polygonal and is defined by a string of (x,z) coordinate pairs: "x1,z1, x2,z2, ..., xn,zn", where the coordinate pairs define the vertices of the polygon. When viewing the room from above, the coordinate pair (0,0) represents the position of the camera; (0,z) represents a point z cm from the camera along the center line of its view; and (x,0) represents a point x cm to the side of the camera. Viewed from the room facing the camera, a positive x-value is to the right and a negative x-value is to the left of the camera. Negative z-values are not used as they would be behind the camera.

  • Cameras > Speaker Track > Meeting Zone > Mode

    Choose Auto .

If you have enabled a meeting zone for one device, you can easily copy the settings to other devices where you would like a meeting zone with the same dimensions.

Tip:

If you want to set up a symmetrical meeting zone, you can use the table below to find the configuration value for your meeting room. You can download the image below in .pdf format here.
