Hardware, OS and Software Requirements
Valarea Room is an application that can operate on a wide range of devices as it does not require high-performance processing power.
Installing third-party software on Valarea Room could impact on the performance of the entire system. It is strongly recommended to cross-check and validate the final setup before deploying to a production environment. This important step will avoid issues or running out of memory during the normal use of the system.

By default, Valarea Room runs video conferencing meetings on the corresponding web apps via the Chrome browser (e.g. https://teams.microsoft.com or https://meet.google.com or https://webex.com) or via integrated SDK (e.g. Zoom SDK for Windows).
If you need features that are available in the MS Teams desktop client only, you can choose to install it and Teams meetings will run in the desktop client. When configuring MS Teams desktop client, please apply the correct settings as described here: Installing MS Teams Desktop client (Option)
