Guidelines for setting up videoconferencing rooms
The following are a set of guidelines to consider when either building a videoconferencing room,
or using an existing room for videoconferencing.
Lighting:
ƒ Low Contrast desired for light
intensity. No dark spots.
ƒ Intensity @ table 800 - 1400 Lux as
measured with an Incident light
meter.
ƒ Block sunlight from entering room.
Seating Area (Table):
ƒ Should allow all participants to see
Monitors.
ƒ Should allow camera to “see” all
participants.
ƒ Non-shiny non-patterned preferably
light grey surface (if table used).
Walls:
ƒ Color: Generally high contrast color
desired. Light blue is commonly
used.
ƒ Acoustically reflective surfaces (such
as glass or concrete) should be
covered with curtains or sound
treatment.
Audio:
ƒ Noise Floor preferred less than
44dBC.
ƒ Reverb Time 0,3 to 0,5 sec.
Ventilation:
ƒ Keep in mind Noise Floor.
ƒ
Velocity = Noise. Therefore keep
velocity of air low.
Room:
ƒ Should be located away from noise.
ƒ Should not have windows.
ƒ Doors should be located off camera.
