How to check the real capacity of the table?
Consider the working length of the perimeter, not the marketing number of seats. Massive chairs, wide armrests and supports reduce capacity. End seats are only allowed when the participant does not block the screen and entrance.
Draw the table and chairs in the extended position. Check the path to each location, door opening and access to the board or screen.
- 6–8 places – regular team meetings;
- 10–12 places - project and management sessions;
- 14–20 places - board of directors, training or joint teams;
- transformable tables - several scenarios in one room.
What shape is suitable for a meeting room?
The rectangular shape is rational and works well with video calling. A boat improves visibility of participants, a round one supports equal conversation, but scales worse. A modular system is convenient for training and transformation if there is storage space and a clear assembly diagram.
The shape of the supports should not interfere with the legs. For a long table, joints, deflection and the ability to bring elements through the doors and elevator are checked in advance.
How to integrate power and video communication?
Determine connection points for laptops, microphones and screens before choosing a tabletop. Hatches and cable channels must be accessible for maintenance, but not directly under the hands of participants.
The camera is positioned along the axis of the meeting room, and the shape of the table should maintain the visibility of faces. The final scenario will be coordinated with the IT and AV teams because the furniture does not compensate for poor acoustics or camera angles.
