Microsoft Teams Room on Windows

A Microsoft Teams Room on Windows (MTRoW) requires a computer device (mini-pc) that all of the peripherals are connected to. The graphic below is a diagram of a simple conference room layout that is organized with a PC in the room that is connected to a monitor, video bar, controller, phone and USB devices. With this configuration, an IT admin and facilities manager can manage the Room without physically checking the Room.
Note: To set up a MTRoW requires the Poly Lens Room App.
