Large Meeting Rooms (10-16 People)
Healthy Large Meeting Rooms
Designed for larger groups, presentations and hybrid meetings where every participant can see, hear and contribute equally, regardless of where they sit.
Typical Room Size: 6m – 9m long
Typical Occupancy: 10-16 people
Common Uses: Department meetings, workshops, presentations, training sessions and large hybrid collaboration.
Every Large Meeting Room Has A Story
Large meeting rooms create opportunities for collaboration, but they also introduce challenges that smaller spaces simply don't encounter.
As rooms become larger, people sit further from displays, cameras and microphones. The distance between participants and technology increases, making it harder for everyone to see shared content, hear conversations clearly and feel equally represented.
Large rooms often perform well for the people nearest the technology while those further away gradually become disconnected from the meeting experience.
A healthy large meeting room is designed so that every participant, whether seated at the front, back or joining remotely, can participate with confidence.
Most meeting room problems aren't obvious until they affect the meeting experience.
Our Meeting Room Health Assessment measures acoustics, visibility, representation and participant equity to reveal what's really happening in your room.
Common Symptoms
✓ People at the far end of the table struggle to be heard
✓ Presentations are difficult to read from some seats
✓ Remote participants cannot see everyone clearly
✓ Meeting transcripts and AI summaries miss parts of conversations
✓ Participants move seats to improve their experience
✓ Larger meetings become dominated by only a few contributors
✓ The room performs differently depending on how many people attend
Equity Challenges
Large meeting rooms often suffer from what we call distance bias.
As participants move further away from displays, cameras and microphones, their experience gradually deteriorates. People nearest the technology become more visible and more audible, while those further away become increasingly underrepresented.
This affects:
In-room participants who struggle to see content, hear quieter speakers or feel equally involved in discussions.
Remote participants who cannot easily identify who is speaking and miss important contributions from people sitting furthest away.
AI tools that depend on high-quality audio and video to create accurate transcriptions, summaries and follow-up actions.
Meeting equity means ensuring every participant is represented equally, regardless of where they sit in the room.
Signs Of A Healthy Room
✓ Every participant can see shared content clearly
✓ Conversations are captured accurately from every seat
✓ Remote participants can identify who is speaking
✓ Displays remain readable from the furthest seat
✓ AI tools receive clean audio and video feeds
✓ Every participant feels equally involved in the meeting
Typical Anatomy Of A Healthy Large Meeting Room
-
![]()
Room Size
Typically 6m-9m long and 4m-6m wide.
-
![]()
Occupancy
10-16 participants.
-
![]()
Display
Typically one 86"-98" display or dual displays where presentations and remote participants need to be shown simultaneously.
-
![]()
Acoustics
Target RT60 approximately 0.5-0.6 seconds.
Background noise ideally below 45 dB.
Additional acoustic treatment is often required because larger rooms contain greater surface areas and support more participants.
-
![]()
Camera
Intelligent cameras capable of capturing the entire room, with consideration given to multi-camera solutions where room depth or room usage requires it.
-
![]()
Audio
Multiple microphone zones or ceiling microphone systems designed to provide consistent speech capture throughout the room.
Additional loudspeakers may be required to ensure speech remains clear and intelligible from every seating position.
-
![]()
Lighting
Approximately 500 lux across all seating positions with careful consideration given to daylight, display reflections and participant visibility.
-
![]()
Connectivity
Simple content sharing and charging solutions that remain accessible from all seating positions.
-
![]()
Conferencing
Typically Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, Google Meet Rooms or advanced BYOD environments.
-
![]()
Smart Building
Room booking panels, occupancy sensors and environmental monitoring can improve utilisation and support effective management of larger spaces.
-
![]()
Artificial Intelligence
AI productivity tools can transcribe meetings, identify speakers and generate follow-up actions, but only when audio and video representation remains consistent throughout the room.

Maintenance & Support
Meeting rooms don’t fail on day one, they fail gradually over time. A support contract enables pro-active maintenance, timely problem solving and ownership.
Typical Failures We Diagnose
Undersized Displays
Presentations and shared content are difficult to read from the furthest seats.
Inadequate Microphone Coverage
Voices from some participants are missed or captured inconsistently.
Poor Camera Representation
Remote participants struggle to identify speakers and read reactions.
Excessive Reverberation
Echo reduces speech intelligibility and affects meeting fatigue and AI accuracy.
Technology Designed for Smaller Rooms
Performance deteriorates as occupancy increases.
One-Size-Fits-All Design
The room struggles to support presentations, collaboration and hybrid meetings equally well.
Could Your LARGE Meeting Room Be Healthier?
✓ Everyone can see shared content clearly from every seat
✓ Everyone can be heard from every seating position
✓ Remote participants can identify who is speaking
✓ AI meeting summaries capture conversations accurately
✓ Nobody changes seats to improve their experience
✓ Meetings remain equally effective regardless of attendance numbers
