What Is Logitech Meeting Room & Is It Right for You?

Video conferencing solutions have taken leaps and bounds across the past few years to help create truly collaborative environments. Rather than outfit random meeting rooms with a camera and microphone, we can now create conference rooms designed for video conferencing from the ground up.

Now, you can connect everyone to work collaboratively wherever they are located. If you need to facilitate seamless conversations between those working in the office and those working from home or remotely, you need to create a video conferencing room packed with solutions and technology that help you do so.

Traditional meeting rooms often suffer from messy setups, incompatible equipment, and poor audio-visual quality, making it difficult for teams to connect and collaborate efficiently. Using the Logitech room solutions allows you to create a well-organised conference room for those in the office and a collaborative space for those who are joining via video calls from other offices or the comfort of their own homes.

Overview of Logitech meeting rooms

Logitech has been offering leading video conferencing solutions for years. They are one of the world’s leading computer manufacturers, producing IT products and gadgets such as keyboards, PC mice, headphones and headsets, and common video conferencing communication devices such as webcams and Bluetooth speakers.

In addition to the solutions they create for home purchasers, they provide commercial businesses with everything they need for their video conferencing room solutions. Logitech allows corporate spaces to assemble the ideal video conferencing room for their precise needs. As we will explore in this article, Logitech can accommodate any size or shape of meeting space and can provide multiple solutions to help make communication and collaboration easier than ever.

Logitech meeting room vs conventional meeting room

One of the major advantages of choosing Logitech solutions, over trying to assemble AV equipment yourself, is that you can easily purchase a full suite of video conferencing equipment in good faith that it will already work together seamlessly.

When outfitting a conventional meeting space, you might buy equipment from various sources and manufacturers. Maybe you choose to only buy new av equipment as you need it. This can mean that, while you have some great items in your collection, it is very difficult to get them to talk to one another, and video conferencing can become a bit disjointed.

Logitech products are designed to all work together as one. You aren’t just purchasing a video bar or a set of speakers — you are buying a full room solution that is intended to work together smoothly.

Logitech meeting room features

Logitech room solutions offer a mix of equipment to make video meetings as easy as possible to manage. Their rooms are packed full of features to literally place collaboration at your fingertips. Here is an overview of some of the features you might expect to find in these conference rooms.

Easy to use

If you have ever used a meeting space that has different switches and terminals for all the various tools and technology, you can rest assured that Logitech meeting rooms are much easier to use. Everything is controlled from one central location, and with Logitech Sync, you can monitor and manage equipment across multiple locations — great for bringing a hybrid team together.

90° field of view camera

The Logitech Rally conference camera is an excellent choice for meeting rooms. It offers a 90° field of view, Ultra-HD video, PTZ features, and includes the Logitech RightSense technologies. This includes RightSight for camera control and RightLight for video optimisation to help ensure that everyone who appears on screen is crystal clear.

The Logitech Rally camera also complements third-party hands-free systems. Auto framing and light optimisation will also help to keep your images front and centre, so everyone can see each other clearly.

Up to 7 microphones

Logitech’s technology allows for up to seven microphones within the room. These can be placed in optimal positions to ensure clear audio at every angle. Meeting participants don’t need to lean in and shout to make themselves heard; everyone can speak normally, and the microphones will deliver crisp and clear sounds to all other participants.

10.1″ Logitech Tap touch controller

So, how do we control everything? The Logitech Tap touch controller is a centralised touch-screen through which all operations are controlled. It is fanless, so you don’t have to worry about white noise disrupting audio. It also supports both wired and wireless content sharing.

The Logitech Tap can be installed centrally on a conference table. The meeting room computer is then conveniently stored in a cupboard and connected to the Tap touch controller through discrete wiring and cabling.

Flexible mounting options

A big advantage of Logitech room solutions is how flexible the mountings can be. The touch controller can be mounted on a desk at various angles using a riser mount or on a wall if preferred. The Logitech Rally mic pods can also be placed in various locations, with the mic pod mounts providing a hidden path for cabling and a clean installation on both tables and ceiling mounts.

Benefits of using Logitech meeting rooms

Logitech meeting rooms can bring together colleagues and clients no matter where they are located. They are designed and built to make communication as easy as possible, but they also carry several other benefits.

Designed for any room shape

Thanks to the easy setup of the Logitech Rally bar, rooms of any size can be transformed into a video conferencing suite. The flexible cabling and one-touch setup allow for a consistent experience to be delivered across all room sizes, from small gathering spaces to full boardrooms.

Clean installation and flexible cabling allow you to place control devices, cameras, and microphones anywhere in the room. This allows you to guarantee high-quality HD video conferencing no matter the room that you end up working with.

Easy integration with other software

Logitech meeting rooms are designed to integrate easily with other software and services, so you never have to worry about a program never wanting to run or something not showing up when it should. The Logitech rooms typically integrate with Microsoft Teams best, but they can also be configured to support Zoom and Google Meet too.

Share content easily

The flexibility and easy integration of Logitech meeting rooms make it incredibly easy to share content amongst meeting participants. The Logitech Swytch system allows you to connect both Windows laptops and Macs to the room’s AV system to help with presentations and meetings.

Calendar integration also allows you to manage and enable room booking with ease. The Rally Bar can detect when the meeting space is in use and can help other employees in the organisation know when the room is available.

Versatility and scalability

The Logitech Rally bar and Tap touch controller make it easy to scale your meeting rooms up or down without ever sacrificing video quality. Large conference rooms can be outfitted just as easily as small meeting rooms, all thanks to Logitech’s video solutions.

Cable retention and hidden wiring keep things neat and orderly. Even in a large conference room, all the technology can be neatly connected to provide high-quality video and sound. The modern workplace requires technology that is versatile and adaptable, and Logitech devices are designed to enable this as efficiently as possible.

Enhanced collaboration

Logitech’s meeting rooms allow for easy, enhanced collaboration. Whether working from home, in the office, or somewhere else entirely, Logitech Sync ensures that all members of a team are on the same page. They can even use the system to manage their workspace for times when they are all in the office together!
