Remote meetings are essential to how companies do business in this contemporary landscape. To compete, you need the ability to seamlessly conduct business remotely so your staff isn't limited by location. These remote meetings demand reliable, quality equipment that enhances communication while being convenient, reliable, and affordable.

Your choice of video equipment is vital to conducting successful meetings. Currently, two of the most popular are the Logitech Rally Bar Huddle and the Logitech Meet Up. Both have sophisticated features, but which one will work best for your company? You can compare these components using the below information.

Rally Bar Huddle

The Rally Bar Huddle is a popular choice for all sizes of businesses. It’s an all-in-one video bar that offers many advanced features. It can run Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms natively, so you do not need the use of a separate PC.

Versatility

Compatible with most communication platforms, the Rally Bar Huddle is convenient and versatile. You can quickly set it up and begin using it almost immediately. This video bar easily integrates with Tap IP by using CollabOS. Plus, you can mount it on a table, on your wall, or above a display, making it simple to use in even limited spaces.

The Rally Bar Huddle is perfect as a standalone device or as a component for a more extensive room solution — it works on multiple scales. This system contains advanced features, such as Speaker View and Grid View. This makes it easy to identify all meeting participants, reducing confusion and enhancing understanding. Also, this video bar is known for having a premium sound quality.

Eco-Friendly

The Rally Bar Huddle is constructed with up to 42% certified post-consumer recycled plastic to reduce its carbon footprint. Logitech has committed to following ecologically sound practices.

Cost

MeetUp Conference Cam

Another popular video product is Logitech’s MeetUp conference camera. Similar in function to the Rally Huddle Bar, it's a more affordable option with slightly different features. It does require the use of an external computer in order to join meeting platforms and applications.

Versatility

MeetUp is also simple to set up, allowing you to “plug and play.” It features an all-in-one design that includes Bluetooth connectivity, three microphones, an extensive field of view, and a custom-tuned speaker.

MeetUp is conveniently sized, which allows it to function well in tight spaces while still providing superior images and audio. You can mount it on the wall or place it on a desk or table. MeetUp works with the most popular internet platforms. It's also certified for Skype for Business, Windows, Mac, and Microsoft Cortana, and is compatible with Cisco Jabber.

Eco-Friendly

Meetup is another one of many Logitech products constructed using ecologically friendly processes and materials.

When space is very limited, this video bar may be just right for your business. Here's a list of Meetup specifications:

• Width: 400mm (15.75 in.)

• Depth: 85mm (3.27 in.)
• Security: Kensington anti-theft security slot

Your Company’s Choice

Both Logitech’s Rally Bar Huddle and MeetUp are quality systems that work well for remote meetings and limited spaces. However, the MeetUp is narrower, taking up five fewer inches in width than the Rally Bar Huddle. It's also significantly less expensive at nearly half the price of the Rally Bar Huddle.

The Rally Bar does offer some sophisticated features that the MeetUp doesn't. For example, it has a Speaker View, which displays the speaker while still showing the entire room. It also offers a Grid View that zooms in on each participant, giving them their own frame. The Rally Bar sound system is enhanced with six beamforming microphones, making it twice as loud as the MeetUp. Perhaps most importantly, it doesn't require the use of an external computer to use.

The right system for you depends on the dimensions of your meeting room, your desire for enhanced sound and view, and your budget. Both video bars are all-in-one systems that are excellent for small conference areas and simple to set up and use. They each boast Logitech quality and Hello Direct availability.
