May I know what is the difference between Room Kit and Room Kit Mini? Looking at the spec sheets, both seems to be very similar.

hi Maureen,

please have a look here: Cisco Video Endpoints overview and positioning 

If you are a partner then this is also a useful preso ''Cisco Webex Room Kit Mini TDM Presentation''

found in salesconnect.cisco.com.

In summary, top differences are:

a) room size (room kit mini is designed for smaller rooms 3-4 meters, room kit fits best in rooms up to 6-7 meters). This recommendation is related to points mentioned below. 

b) Room kit mini has embedded microphones and no option for table microphone.

    Room kit has embedded microphones but could also support table microphones.

c) Room kit mini has one HDMI output so you can have single display in the room.

    Room kit has two HDMI outputs so you could have 2 HDMI screen displays.

d) Room kit Mini has best overview feature but not speaketrack(don't really need speaker track in such small rooms). Room kit supports both Best overview and Speakertrack features.

e) One other difference that only Room kit mini has is USB port to use it with your laptop.

hope it helps
