UO Videoconferencing Standards

Overview

This article provides a list of standards to follow when purchasing videoconferencing equipment at the University of Oregon and a list of systems supported by Information Services (IS).

Standards for Room Systems

1. Room systems should be Windows 10-based. This allows the ability to send out both Teams and Zoom meeting invites. If the system is intended for bring-your-own-device (BYOD)-only, this is not required. 
2. Room systems should be one-touch to join and Microsoft Exchange enabled. This allows users to invite the meeting/conference room through Microsoft Exchange. This ensures a standardized user-friendly experience by enabling the room to join the meeting with a touch of a button. 
3. Room systems should have the capability to allow users to bring their own device to initiate a meeting. This requires the user to connect their laptop to a supplied HDMI and USB cable. 
4. Room systems will require a Microsoft Teams license for the one-touch to join feature. Because the Microsoft Teams license also supports Zoom functionality, Zoom room licenses will not be issued to avoid unnecessary costs and management overhead.
