Conference Room Suggested Setup for Privacy Concerns
What are the best practices for setting up a conference room in order to provide some privacy for presenters who are connecting to conference room equipment, but don't want to display their Outlook email or calendar to everyone in the room while they are starting a meeting?
Are Microsoft Teams Rooms a good way to handle this?
Our current conference room setup is:
- Desktop computer connected to large TV
- Wireless keyboard and mouse for signing in to this desktop with individual's domain account
- Logitech CC3000E camera and microphone connected to desktop via USB
We have HR and other individuals that want to organize and be presenters of Teams meetings, but don't want their Outlook email or calendar displayed on the TV screen while starting the meeting.
What other conference room configurations might you suggest?
Hello kevinmckeown8 .
My best experiences using for Skype/Teams meeting room.
1. ThinkSmart Hub 500 with wall TV for 4-6-8 sits meeting room. Very stability.
2. Policome Meeting room for Skype\Teams for ~20 sits with additional microphone (Poly + HP solution for Microsoft Teams) > Need service contract for update firmware, sensitive for update Skype/Teams services
Hi,
The Microsoft Teams Room systems would be good for this. Users will be able to join the Teams meeting without their computer, they just use the touch screen to join the meeting. The meeting subject on the control screen can be hidden.
If a user want to share their screen they can connect with a HDMI cable to the MTR when they have closed all programs that they don't want to share or they can join the meeting from their computer and share desktop from there.

The CC3000E and large screen can be reused for the MTR system.
The Microsoft Teams Room sounds like a good way to go, but I'm failing to see devices or options for connecting it to an existing conference room system like we have. So far, all I can find are entire new system bundles like the ones in the link you provided.
How does connecting a laptop to a TV via HDMI also connect it to the Logitech CC3000E which currently is connected to a dedicated desktop PC via USB?
I am hoping to get some specific device or room configuration suggestions from others who may have already been through this with their equipment.
Currently I think that the Logitech Tap is the most popular, some customers go with one from the same brand as they buy for laptops, HP or Lenovo.
If you contact your local hardware dealer they should be able to sell you just the MTR (HP, Logitech, Crestron, Lenovo, etc) and you can connect your devices that you already have. You don't have to buy the bundle.
