Video conferencing meeting room solutions

Dave Mitchell helps you navigate your meeting room options and puts our VC solutions to the test

- 

Remote and flexible working has been such a driving force for videoconferencing (VC) that it's now become an integral part of most modern working environments. The benefits are undeniable: VC can deliver huge cost savings by eliminating unnecessary business travel, while reduced commuting helps staff to be more productive, engaged - and financially better off.

Increased demand in the VC market is pushing manufacturers to become ever more innovative, with many now delivering an impressive range of sophisticated meeting room solutions. Even better, intense competition in this rapidly expanding market has pushed prices down, bringing professional huddle, meeting- and conference-room solutions within the budgets of SMBs.

They aren’t challenging to install either, with the latest VC bars offering a complete audiovisual solution in a single unit that can be easily deployed in meeting rooms with minimum effort. Features keep on getting better, too, with many now offering advanced AI-powered video and audio enhancement along with sophisticated dynamic speaker tracking and framing.

This month, we review four all-in-one business meeting room systems from Biamp, Insta360, Logitech and Owl Labs. We've selected a range of solutions suited to different environments and tested them in the lab to help you make the right choice.
