Abstract

A video conference endpoint determines a position of a best audio pick-up region for placement of a sound source relative to a microphone having a receive pattern configured to capture sound signals from the best region. The endpoint captures an image of a scene that encompasses the best region and displays the image of the scene. The endpoint generates an image representative of the best region and displays the generated image representative of the best region as an overlay of the scene image.
