Meeting people is easy Midwich now stocks Barco’s ClickShare Hub Core with Logitech MeetUp 2 wireless room system bundle, which is certified for Microsoft Teams, making it easier than ever for users to share content and bring everyone into the conversation.

For people convening meetings with colleagues in the room as well as those joining online, simplicity is key. For those who might not have technical expertise – especially in small- to medium-sized businesses – any solution that is simple and intuitive to use is welcomed. Barco has recognised this with its ClickShare Hub Core with Logitech MeetUp 2 bundle, which is now certified for Microsoft Teams. The bundle delivers a simple, secure Microsoft Teams Rooms experience for small meeting rooms – backed by the reliability and manageability IT requires thanks to the expertise of Barco and Logitech. For users, it means they can just get on with their meeting and collaborate with the effectiveness and efficiency that they need – including sharing content – without having to worry about the technical side. It means everyone can concentrate on contributing fully to the meeting, ensuring that it will result in the best outcomes. Included in the bundle is the ClickShare Hub Core, Barco’s new modular wireless video conferencing room system. With this, users can start a meeting from the ClickShare Control Panel and share in 4K with a single click and share content with another click. Also included it’s the Logitech MeetUp 2 video bar, which delivers AI-enhanced audio and video

optimised for small rooms. Also, as users expect, security is also at the forefront. ClickShare Hub Core is built on Microsoft’s Device Ecosystem Platform and follows a security-by- design approach with layered protection and management tools. As part of a Microsoft Teams Rooms solution, the bundle supports standardised integration, reliability, and compliance. Another key concern for many customers is sustainability, and this is baked into the product by Barco and Logitech right from the initial design, through energy efficiency, packaging and what happens at end-of-life. “Together, we are bringing a room system bundle that delivers a simple, smart and secure hybrid collaboration experience, while making more responsible sustainability choices at every step, from hardware design and energy efficiency to packaging and end-of-life,” says Sudeep Trivedi, head of alliances and strategy at Logitech for Business. Jan van Houtte, executive vice president meeting experiences at Barco, says that achieving Certified for Microsoft Teams status together marks a significant milestone in the company’s strategy to expand ClickShare from a best-in-class BYOD solution into fully integrated room systems. n
