Glossary

Field of view usually refers to the horizontal field of view of the camera on a video conferencing system. Field of view is the viewing angle the camera will provide - the larger the viewing angle the more you will see from the room/location you are capturing with the camera. This translates to the amount of people that will be visible at once during a meeting.

A reasonable value for horizontal field of view for a room system is 70° or more. For a personal video system a good angle could be 60° or more.
