AV Digest | Logitech Tap – Video Conferencing Made Easy

Video conferencing can be a complex and difficult road to navigate for many businesses. From lengthy set-up times, connectivity issues, microphone problems to contrasting technological literacy within the organization. The expansive and growing options relating to software can also be a challenge for many to make sense of, as well. The ability to communicate cohesively through video conferencing is often a lot more challenging than it should be for many organizations. Time wastage is highly prominent in this area, and as we all know, time is money. Our partners at Logitech saw these issues and worked towards creating a solution that would resolve common issues of contention for both small and large organizations. That result is the Logitech Tap, which streamlines and simplifies the deployment and use of video conferencing platforms. 

So, what is the Logitech Tap?

The Logitech Tap is the groundbreaking new meeting room solution unveiled earlier this year by our partners at Logitech! Designed from the ground up for Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, & Zoom Rooms, Tap leverages the extensive market experience garnered by Logitech to streamline & simplify the deployment & use of video conferencing in any meeting room size. 

The Logitech Tap device is a 10.1” USB-connected touch controller with HDMI input and a cable retention system. They offer optional table, riser and wall mounts to enable the sleek and convenient location of the device. It is designed with a simple and consistent user interface to promote ease of use for end users and to ultimately reduce internal IT calls within your company.

It connects to an Intel NUC small form factor PC via USB as an additional display, opening up new touch control possibilities for applications like team collaboration, digital signage, room automation, environmental control, and other workflows where touch control is desired.

Video Conferencing Software Integration

Logitech Tap offers seamless company-wide integration with multiple video conferencing software platforms including Google MeetMicrosoft Teams & Zoom. This is possible due to the presence of the Intel NUC which has the aforementioned systems built in. This allows the Logitech Tap to transform any space into a Video Room with one-touch join, both wireless (Direct Share) and wired (HDMI) content sharing, and center of room control.

Key Benefit

The key benefit of Logitech Tap is that a user can commence a video call with simply one ‘tap’. With this highly streamlined approach, businesses can effectively reduce time & arrangement costs that would be otherwise invariable with other video conferencing solutions. It also aids in the integration of the technology internally due to the overt ease of use. This allows organization-wide roll out of the Logitech Tap system to be streamlined considerably.

The Logitech Tap

As an integral component of Logitech Room Solutions, Tap couples the purpose-built utility and robust build quality of a meeting room touch control panel with the affordability and flexibility of a tablet. It delivers one-touch video calling and simplicity for users in an IT-friendly design ideal for deployment at scale.

Featuring a 10.1-inch touchscreen, HDMI input for content sharing, and robust cable retention, Logitech Tap is designed and engineered for reliable convenience in the meeting room. A range of table, riser and wall mounts offer tremendous placement flexibility, while in-wall rated cabling enables topologies and room layouts that please the eye as well as IT.
