And some are setup to auto-answer incoming calls by default.  If the TV
monitor were off and the VC equipment were on, it could be possible for
someone to listen in on a meeting undetected.

I wouldn't assume that the devices are properly taking care of
authentication, encryption, and other security requirements.  Several
popular videoconferencing devices ship with default passwords, only
support cleartext protocols for management, and may not enable
encryption
by default.
