Description

So, all of our Laptops and Phones are _perfectly capable_ of doing video conferencing.

Google has a _range_ of "_packages_" with all the hardware required for video conferencing with Google Hangouts: https://enterprise.google.com/chrome/video-conferencing/ the [_cheapest_ package](https://chromebusinessdevices.withgoogle.com/products/1706/asus-chromebox2-g015u-iron-grey) includes an [Asus Chromebox with i7 Processor]() (_with remote_), Logitech 1080p Webcam and Jabra Microphone/Speaker.

An **i7 processor** for running video chat seems like "_overkill_", but the rest of the components are good.

Assuming you have an _existing_ ("_spare_") Monitor or TV available, the minimum hardwaxre required for Hangouts or [WebRTC](https://talky.io) audio+video communications is:
- Chromebit: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01937CN64
- Logitech C920 1080p Webcam: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006A2Q81M
- Jabra Speak 410: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004ELA7TA
- Powered USB Hub: https://www.amazon.co.uk/D-Link-DUB-H7-Port-USB-External/dp/B0002AFZVM
- DVI to HDMI adapter (so we can use existing monitor): https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00ZMVGTA2
