Anyone who has joined a hybrid meeting from a long conference room knows the problem. The camera sits at the front of the room, pointed down a long table. Remote participants see a “bowling alley” view made up of tiny faces, side profiles and people leaning awkwardly towards the microphone just to be heard.

Center-of-Table Cameras: A Smarter Approach to Meeting Equity

Center-of-table cameras transform meeting rooms by placing the camera and microphones in the middle of the conversation rather than at the front. Participants appear closer, voices are captured more evenly and discussions feel more natural and inclusive. These devices also offer a simple path to Microsoft Teams Rooms and on-premises meeting intelligence as needs evolve.

The AudioCodes RXVCam360 exemplifies this approach. Perfect for hybrid meeting spaces, this AI-powered device positions the meeting’s “eyes and ears” at the center of the room, ensuring everyone is clearly seen and heard courtesy of its sharp video, four built-in microphones and an integrated speaker system.

Even better, the RXVCam360 can be paired with a front-of-room camera such as the AudioCodes RXVCam50 to create a multi-camera experience. Remote participants can see both a panoramic view of the table and an eye-level view of presenters, ensuring key visual cues aren’t missed and making meetings more engaging.

From BYOM to a Full Microsoft Teams Room

One of the biggest challenges for IT teams is deploying meeting room technology that works today, while remaining flexible for future upgrades. The RXVCam360 was designed very much with this evolution in mind.

Top industry analyst David Danto highlights the importance of this flexibility in Center of Table Video Cameras, TalkingPointz, November 2025.1 He writes: “Hybrid solutions, such as the AudioCodes offering… [deliver] the self-contained power of an all-in-one design while also integrating natively into managed room ecosystems when organizations are ready to scale.”

Step 1 ➜ Start Simple with BYOM

Deployment can begin with Bring Your Own Meeting (BYOM). Thanks to its plug-and-play USB connectivity, users can walk into a meeting room, connect the RXVCam360 to their laptop and instantly host a high-quality 360° meeting on their preferred collaboration platform, whether it’s Microsoft Teams, Webex, Zoom or others. There’s no complicated setup and no training is required.

This makes the RXVCam360 an ideal starting point for organizations that want to improve hybrid meetings without immediately investing in a full room system.

Step 2 ➜ Upgrade to a Microsoft Teams Room

As collaboration needs grow, the same camera can easily become part of a dedicated Microsoft Teams Room (MTR).

By simply adding the AudioCodes RXV200 Android Intelligent AV Hub and the RX-PAD room controller, IT teams can transform an ordinary BYOM space into a fully managed MTR environment. This upgrade path protects existing investments while providing a clear route to a permanent, always-ready meeting space.

Intelligence On-Premises

For organizations operating in highly regulated industries like government, security, health and finance, collaboration technology must go beyond video quality.

The RXVCam360 integrates seamlessly with AudioCodes Meeting Insights On-Prem, enabling privacy-first organizations to capture, transcribe and analyze meeting content accurately and efficiently within their own infrastructure. This means IT teams can deliver powerful AI-driven capabilities, such as meeting summaries, transcripts and insights, while keeping sensitive data securely on-premises.

Bringing the Meeting Back to the Center

Hybrid work has raised the bar for meeting technology. By placing the camera right at the center of the table, the AudioCodes RXVCam360 delivers a more natural and inclusive experience, bringing true meeting equity within the reach of every organization.
