How To Choose The Right Video Bar

All-in-one Video & Soundbars are quickly becoming a go-to solution for organizations looking to outfit their conference rooms with simple all-in-one systems that deliver high-quality audio and video conferencing. Many organizations are also looking for the device that plays best with all the collaboration platforms they use (i.e. Microsoft Teams, Zoom, GoTo, RingCentral, etc.). Several of the top video conferencing hardware manufacturers like Poly and Logitech offer great lines of Video Bar solutions that deliver these benefits. What you may be thinking is how do I choose? So what we at 323.tv have done is created a guide for finding the Video Bar device that is right for you.

Consider Your Collaboration Space

How many participants typically use this space for meetings? What is the farthest away from the Video Bar a participant will be? Do you have dual monitors in the space? Background noise? Bad lighting? Which conferencing platforms do you use? These are the questions you should consider when choosing a video bar solution. Each brand has multiple models that are based on camera, display, and audio coverage. Logitech and Yealink have separate parts for Microsoft Teams and Zoom Room Kits, while Poly’s Studio X Series can be easily switched to either platform’s mode.
