On the conference table is a conference microphone that is connected to the system.

There is smaller-sized video conferencing equipment that is still not portable. However, it is small and less expensive and is primarily used for smaller meeting rooms – much like court reporters have in their offices, as an example.

There are also roll-around video and web conferencing systems that are self-contained on a cart and can be moved from room to room to accommodate smaller office video conferencing needs. For example, conferences between satellite offices allow collaboration among offices.

Additionally, there are desktop systems that are utilized (hardware or software codec) to PCs and laptops making them video conferencing devices.  There is a range of different cameras and microphones that can be used with the codec. These devices have codec and transmission interfaces.  Desktop systems work with the H.323 standard.  Web/video conferencing is dependent on an internet connection.
