The Surface Hub is an all-in-one collaboration device designed for teamwork, brainstorming, presentations, and video conferencing. It combines, a large interactive touch display, digital inking with Surface Pen, built-in camera and microphones and Microsoft Teams integration. The audio output can be adjusted using the longer button under the screen, on the bottom right.
