Since there is no recommendation for a single video conferencing system at the TU Darmstadt, the HRZ recommends the universal operating model BYOD (“Bring your own device”), known from the lecture halls, for equipping rooms with video conferencing technology.

In addition to your own device, video conferencing technology should be provided as an accessory in meeting rooms. Users bring their laptops into the room and use the video conferencing system with the accessories available there. The easiest way is via a USB cable, but wireless is also possible.

The following systems can be mentioned as examples of video conferencing technology: Logitech Meetup, Logitech GROUP, Logitech Rally, Poly Studio, Jabra Panacast 50. Table systems such as Meeting Owl, and Panasonic PressIT360 are also included.

In future, the BYOD operating model will also be available for video conferences and hybrid events in the lecture halls. There, too, you will be able to use the media technology available in the room with your own laptop via the USB connection.
