People Recognition
recognises enrolled people in the room by their voice and face, and names them
Microsoft: "Teams Rooms support voice and face recognition to identify who is speaking or appearing on camera in meetings from within the meeting room." It names them in the transcript, the meeting recap and Copilot, using the voice and face profiles people create in Teams. Microsoft: "Voice and face recognition only works if end users have completed enrollment by creating their biometric profiles in Teams." Both are off by default on a room device.
IntelliFrame
an AI camera system that follows who is speaking and frames each person in the room for remote attendees
Microsoft: "Microsoft Teams Multi-Stream IntelliFrame certified devices, include a speaker, microphone, and an AI camera that can produce multiple video streams and AI-powered active speaker tracking by recognizing facial movements and gestures." A cloud version, Cloud IntelliFrame, does the same with ordinary room cameras by zooming into each person's face, and switches itself on in Teams Rooms on Windows with a supported camera. Microsoft: "Please install appropriate signage outside any meeting room, where you install an AI intelligent camera, advising people about the people recognition, face enrollment, and voice recognition features."
Facilitator in Teams Rooms
takes AI notes of in-person conversations in the room, with no meeting scheduled
Microsoft: "Facilitator is an AI-powered agent that is available in Microsoft Teams that is used to automatically take notes of the conversations that happen during a meeting." In a Teams Room it also works for unplanned, in-person conversations: someone in the room starts it by scanning a code on the room screen with their phone. It is in public preview.
Copilot in Microsoft Teams Rooms
answers questions about a meeting held from the room, and recaps it
People in a room meeting who have Copilot can ask it questions, catch up on what was said and get a recap. Microsoft: "With Copilot, Teams Rooms not only enhance the overall meeting experience with Intelligent Speaker, it enables better support for collaboration and works together by adding meeting summaries and Intelligent Recap."
