How to Enable Intelligent Camera with People Recognition on Rally Bar/Rally Bar Mini for Microsoft Teams on Windows (Beta)

Overview

People Recognition enhances hybrid Teams meetings by automatically identifying and labeling in-room participants, highlighting active speakers, and providing live transcription with speaker recognition. Names appear directly on video feeds and in the call roster, helping both in-room and remote attendees follow the conversation accurately and creating a more inclusive meeting experience. This feature enhances Multi-Stream IntelliFrame, enabling name labels on individual video streams for participants who have enrolled their facial profile through Teams.

Features

Name Labels on In-Room Participants

Displays participant names directly on video feeds in real time for everyone physically in the room, making it easy for remote attendees to know who’s speaking.

In-Room Participants Listed in the Call Roster

Adds recognized participants as individual entries in the meeting roster, mirroring remote attendee listings and making it easier to track who is present in the room.

Live Transcription with Speaker Recognition

Generates real-time transcripts during meetings and attributes each statement to the appropriate in-room speaker using voice profiles and speech recognition, ensuring conversations are easy to follow even in large or hybrid sessions.
