Pre-deployment checklist

This checklist summarizes all technical and environmental requirements that must be met before deploying Mago Pro in a meeting room. It ensures that the room hardware, operating system, network, authentication services and user accounts are correctly prepared. Completing this checklist before installation reduces setup time, prevents configuration issues and guarantees full supportability. All items apply to new installations, upgrades and large-scale rollouts, whether you are using certified Mago hardware or customer-provided Windows devices.
