Tips for Meeting Participants
Follow these best practices to ensure that your
CX5100 system effectively tracks speakers and
participants during conference calls.
●Make sure there are no items between your
mouth and the microphones. For example, move
your laptop so that it does not block you when you
speak.
●Face the CX5100 system, not the whiteboard or
the wall, when you stand at the front of a small
conference room to speak. Facing the wall can
cause echoes that interfere with the active
speaker tracking.
