Mini PCs for Video Conferencing
A mini PC for video conferencing is a small desktop computer that runs video calls, screen sharing and meeting software. For smooth video calls, the processor should handle video encoding and decoding, and the system should have enough memory to run the conferencing app with other programs open. Most Thinvent mini PCs in this range use Intel Core, Intel Celeron or AMD Ryzen processors with 8 GB to 16 GB of RAM, which is enough for multi-party calls, screen sharing and multitasking.

Choosing a Model for Video Calls
For multi-party video conferencing with screen sharing, choose an Intel Core i5 or i7 model, or an AMD Ryzen 5 model, with 16 GB of RAM. These processors have 6 to 12 cores and run conferencing software, browser tabs and office applications at the same time. For single-user calls and light meetings, the Intel Core i3-1215U with 8 GB of RAM is enough. The Intel N5095A and ARM Cortex A55 models suit basic calls and digital signage, but they have less processing power for HD video and screen sharing.
Connectivity and Ports
Choose a model with dual band WiFi if the device connects over wireless. Models listed with No WiFi need a wired Ethernet connection. Dual LAN models suit offices that need a separate network for conferencing and other traffic.
