A reference hardware guide to setting up your Space
As 8x8 Spaces leverages low cost off-the-shelf hardware, setting up your Space and connecting it to Meet is pretty straightforward.
While you can pick any combination of hardware to make your Space come together, we've put together a few reference configurations based on what 8x8 has implemented at its corporate headquarters as well as its offices worldwide.
A typical Spaces implementation requires a high definition TV or monitor for the best video quality, along with a computer to host the Spaces application.
A USB camera, speaker and microphone are also required, that connect to the computer. A tablet is recommended to run the controller app. Versions of the app are available for both Android and iOS devices.
A screen share adapter is recommended if Spaces participants want to connect and share their screen in a Space without connecting to a Meeting.
The following hardware recommendations are based on 8x8's implementation of Spaces in its offices and are intended for informational and planning purposes only.
This is not an implementation guide. 8x8 does not support nor implement any hardware referenced in this guide.
Implementation and hardware support remains the responsibility of the customer. 8x8 highly recommends leveraging audio/visual expertise either internally or via our partners for design, implementation and support of the hardware and configuration needed to support Spaces.
