Windows 10: Dell and Logitech Meeting Space Solutions for Microsoft Teams Rooms

Brink · Oct 16, 2020

In the not so distant future, businesses may need to reconfigure their meeting spaces to better support onsite employees who collaborate with colleagues working from home.

Dell and Logitechâs newest Meeting Space Solutions for Microsoft Teams Rooms offers a complete group collaboration ecosystem led by Dellâs smallest commercial desktop, the OptiPlex 7080 Micro â running Teams Room Experience for Windows, and pre-bundled with Dell Large Format Monitors and Logitech audio and video peripherals, such as the Logitech Tap Touch Controller and a Logitech MeetUp ConferenceCam, depending on the room configuration. The Dell and Logitech solution combines IntelPro technology with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise.

Options vary for different room sizes (small, medium and large) with accompanying display sizes: 55-inch, 75-inch and 86-inch. These interactive touch monitors enable multiple users to write, edit, annotate or erase notes simultaneously â with up to 20 touch points. Start meetings on time with the touch of a button. Schedule meetings with Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Teams and invite your conference rooms to a meeting as easily as you invite people.

Dell engineers tested and validated this bundled solution that helps users instantly project content in the room and to virtual participants. It is expected to be available on Oct. 15 worldwide.

IDC research reveals 81% of employees believe monitors with higher resolution, better ergonomics and color improve the overall working experience. Dellâs expanded UltraSharp portfolio aims to hit all these marks with mini-LEDs, a built-in colorimeter and low blue light reduction screens.

Design professionals working in film, special effects and animation rely on color accurate displays to produce their creative masterpieces. The Dell UltraSharp 32 HDR PremierColor Monitor (UP3221Q) is the worldâs first 31.5-inch professional monitor with a built-in Calman Powered colorimeter*, which gives creators the flexibility of on-demand or scheduled calibration with or without the PC attached. It also has 4K resolution and VESA DisplayHDR 1000 to enable precise and uniform color reproduction of film and video content. It is expected to be available worldwide on Nov. 5 starting at $4,999.99.

For professionals who frequently work with spreadsheets and data-driven tasks, the Dell UltraSharp 24 USB-C Hub Monitor (U2421E) is Dellâs first monitor with ComfortView Plus â a built-in, TÃV Rheinland-certified Hardware Low Blue Light solution that maintains color accuracy on the screen and minimizes blue light emission to optimize eye comfort. The 16:10 aspect ratio in this 24-inch InfinityEdge display provides more on-screen real estate, with an extended vertical height to reduce the amount of scrolling required to view content. It is available now worldwide starting at $449.99.

The Dell UltraSharp 34 Curved USB-C Hub Monitor (U3421WE) features WQHD resolution and 95% DCI-P3 color coverage, and delivers an immersive audiovisual experience with three-sided ultra-thin borders and built-in dual speakers. It is expected to be available worldwide on Dec. 1 starting at $1,199.99.

Introducing new Microsoft Teams certified devices

It has been an interesting and unprecedented time for all, getting to grips on this new way of remote working, socializing, and connecting with our customers. Working with our device partners we continue to bring new Teams certified devices to market. Our new range of certified personal devices are aimed to support our customers working remotely. For our meeting room experience, we continue to expand our portfolio of certified room devices to ensure Teams Rooms can scale to meet the needs of any size space.

As a recap, the Microsoft device Certification Program is designed to offer Microsoft customers confidence that third party devices will provide a compatible, high-quality experience when used with Microsoft Teams.

Certification highlights for headset and speakerphones

All the headsets listed below deliver the longstanding benefits of certification, such as great audio and integrated call control. We’d like to highlight two additional important benefits offered by many of the devices below:

Teams button
Available on all Teams certified headsets and speakerphones, you will have deeper integration with Teams from your device. Simply click the button to bring Teams to the forefront of your pc screen, quickly join a meeting that has started, or check your missed calls and voicemail.

Premium microphone for open office
Many of the headsets listed below offer a premium microphone optimized for use in an open office. This enhanced requirement for headsets offers the best possible performance for use in noisy environments or open offices where nearby sounds or voices are present.

Today we are pleased to announce a range of new Teams certified devices across our categories.

Teams headsets

One of the most discussed topics currently is “remote working” and how users are having to adjust to the new way of work. One critical need is a reliable and comfortable personal device to use while in calls and meetings. Detailed below are the newest additions to our range of certified peripherals from our device partners.

EPOS - Part of Demant Group, has announced that its range of wired IMPACT headsets, which were previously certified for Skype for Business, now offer a firmware upgrade to be certified for Microsoft Teams. This upgrade brings richer Teams integration, with the call answer button and LED now acting like a Teams button. Users can now receive alerts and engage with Teams by pressing the button to quickly join meetings or check missed calls.

Jabra - introduces Evolve2, the new standard of professional headsets. A dedicated Microsoft Teams button alerts users of notifications and allows them to take quick actions. The certification for premium microphone for open office provides confidence that you will be heard clearly. With a more visible busy light and an advanced digital chipset, concentration and communication is better than ever.

Logitech - Zone Wireless and Zone Wired headsets are designed for busy workspaces and are certified for Microsoft Teams. Launch or join a Teams meeting with a single touch. Both deliver premium audio and reliable call clarity. In addition, Zone Wired meets Microsoft's premium microphone for open office requirement.

Poly – A selection of headsets with different wearing styles, including corded and Bluetooth wireless, are now available with a dedicated Teams button. Some of these models have also met Microsoft's premium microphone for open office requirement. For some existing Skype for Business certified devices, customers can expect a firmware upgrade to enable Teams integration using the hook switch.

Teams phones

It's exciting to see the growth in the Teams phones category and as demand continues to grow, providing options for our customers is critical. We are excited to welcome Lenovo to the Teams phone category with their ThinkSmart View Teams phone.

Lenovo - ThinkSmart View features an 8" HD display and high-quality microphone and speaker. Upgrade any personal or common area space with a dedicated Teams device designed to consolidate the meeting and calling experience. ThinkSmart View reduces downtime in meetings with one-touch join, supports face to face interaction in portrait or landscape layout, and assures conversation privacy with a camera shutter and a microphone mute switch.

Teams rooms and room accessories

With Microsoft Teams Rooms and certified meeting room accessories, organizations can transform any space to a Teams meeting place. Working with our partners, we continue to expand our portfolio of certified devices to ensure Teams Rooms can scale to meet the needs of any size room.

Yealink – The Yealink MVC900 Room System delivers a native Microsoft Teams Rooms meeting experience. Designed for extra-large meeting rooms and training spaces, the Yealink MVC900 Room System is a complete solution and includes a touch control console, content sharing unit, audio and video peripherals, and mini-PC.

Bose and Sennheiser – Clear the table of microphones and speakers, for better collaboration. The Bose ES1 Ceiling Audio Solution combines the premium performance of the Bose EdgeMax in-ceiling loudspeaker and Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling 2 microphone — along with a Bose amplifier and DSP — to deliver a seamless meeting experience that empowers productivity while removing clutter from the conference room table.

Logitech – Logitech has introduced the Logitech Room Solution powered by Lenovo ThinkSmart Edition Tiny, for Microsoft Teams Rooms. Available in small, medium, and large configurations, these pre-configured systems also include a Logitech conferencecam with RightSense™ technologies, a PC mount with cable retention, and the Logitech Tap touch controller.

Poly – Introducing the Poly Trio C60, the newest and best Trio of the Trio conference phone family, delivers a powerful Teams audio experience. Poly audio ensures every inflection is heard, without the distracting background noise.

Shure – With versatile mounting options, the Microflex® Advance™ MXA910 ceiling array microphone delivers speech that is naturally intelligible. With no mics or cables in the way, you’re free to speak, and clear to connect. Deliver natural voice quality with the Microflex Advance MXA910 ceiling array microphone and the IntelliMix® P300 audio conferencing proces....

Microsoft Teams Devices at ISE 2019

The Microsoft Team is back in snowy Seattle after an amazing week at Integrated Systems Europe in Amsterdam last week!

This was the first presence for Microsoft Teams Devices along with the Surface team at the ISE conference. Jointly, we showcased Microsoft’s broad portfolio of conferencing and collaboration devices across personal and shared spaces for Microsoft Teams.

Our booth staff was very busy over the course of the week delivering hundreds of demos of Microsoft Teams, Office 365, and Surface, providing guided booth tours of our different spaces which included Huddle Space, Meeting Room, Executive Office, and our Devices Bar, and meetings with our key customers and channel partners.

Windows Collaboration Displays

Microsoft showcased the first two WCDs from Sharp and Avocor that will be available for customers to enhance their meeting experience with high-resolution multi-touch & pen displays that include integrated stereo speakers, as well as Microsoft, certified far-field microphones and camera, so customers can easily use the best of Microsoft 365 collaboration tools – from Windows and Office to Microsoft Whiteboard and Microsoft Teams – at room scale, and all backed by the intelligent cloud. A simple, one-cable connections make all your apps and content available on the Windows Collaboration Display and even charges your PC. In addition to being teamwork devices, Windows collaboration displays include built-in sensors, such as presence detection, that connect to Azure IoT, so users can find available collaboration spaces and facility managers can utilize the data they collect to make real-time decisions.

Microsoft Surface

It was great to have the Surface family including Surface Hub integrated into our booth presence with our other Microsoft Teams devices last week. Surface Hub is a powerful, pen and touch-enabled large-screen collaboration device with integrated Windows 10 computer, so it runs applications (Microsoft and third-party) natively. In addition to wireless Miracast support and wired projection capabilities, you can also sign-in to the Surface Hub directly to access your cloud content, making it super easy to view and edit your files. Surface Hub is also a great platform for remote meetings. Last summer, Microsoft Teams was introduced on Surface Hub and customers are loving the experience of one-touch meeting join and large-screen remote participant view. Surface Hub empowers teams to collaborate and brainstorm and is great for collaboration spaces like the huddle and open spaces.

Excitement continues to build for Surface Hub 2S, which will start shipping in select markets next quarter!

New! Logitech Tap for Microsoft Teams Rooms

Logitech announced Logitech TAP for Microsoft Teams Room which has a new modular design and allows for flexible mounting. This was displayed in our Meeting Room Showcase.

About the Logitech TAP

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.
