Devices to Get the Best from Zoom at Your Desktop/Laptop
What Equipment Do I Need?
Basic Zoom use just requires a computer. However, there are frequently situations where the user wishes to have two or more people use Zoom in the same room. For this, we recommend use of an echo cancelling speakerphone and a small camera. Also, for cable runs of more than 15 feet, we recommend amplified USB cables to avoid signal degradation. The items below are examples of equipment that is reasonably priced and will meet the needs of most Zoom users in small to mid-sized rooms. Please contact our team for information on how to most effectively utilize Zoom with peripherals such as those below.
