How to use video conferencing equipment with Teams

Using Teams meeting features in the meeting room

Chat

In-room participants don’t have access to the Chat feature. If you want to be able to follow the meeting chat, connect to the meeting on your personal device.

Raise Hand

In-room participants can’t use the Raise Hand feature. You could physically raise your hand instead. If you want to be able to use the Raise Hand feature in the app, connect to the meeting on your personal device.

Breakout Rooms

You can use the breakout rooms feature, but the hybrid meeting room itself cannot be assigned as a breakout room. Assign remote participants to your breakout rooms, then treat the in-person attendees as if they are in their own breakout room (although it’s really just the main meeting). When breakout rooms end, all attendees will return to the hybrid meeting.

Transcripts

The Room Kit will can’t differentiate who in the room said what. When you use the transcript feature, all contributions by in-room attendees will be labelled with the meeting room name.

 

Stop audio feedback from in-room personal devices

Everyone in the room using a personal device must mute both their microphone and speakers – the Room Kit manages the audio for the whole room.
