Huddle Space AV Systems
Huddle spaces are small rooms for two to six people, often booked at short notice. The goal is a setup anyone can walk into and use without help, so simple, all-in-one equipment is common.
A typical huddle room pairs a single display with a video bar or USB camera, plus a wireless or one-cable way to share a laptop. Mounts or mobile carts keep the setup tidy in rooms that weren’t designed for AV.
Typical System Components
The building blocks most systems of this type use, with products to compare in each category.
Displays & Touch Screens
A single commercial display or touch screen is usually enough. Touch models can double as a whiteboard for brainstorming.
Video Bars & USB Cameras
All-in-one video bars and wide-angle USB cameras keep everyone in frame at close range with minimal cabling.
Wireless Screen Sharing
Wireless presentation systems let anyone share their screen without adapters, which matters in rooms that see many different laptops.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a huddle space?
A huddle space is a small meeting area, typically for two to six people, used for quick collaboration and video calls. It usually has one display and simple, self-service AV.
Do I need a separate microphone in a huddle room?
In most small rooms, the microphones built into a video bar or conference camera are designed to cover the table. Separate microphones become more useful as the room gets larger or noisier.
What size display works for a huddle room?
Smaller huddle rooms often use displays in the 43- to 65-inch range, but the right size depends on viewing distance and content. Readable text from the farthest seat is the practical test.
