CollabOS 1.5 Update Also Adds Convenience and Control for IT as Well as a New Certification for Tap Scheduler<\/span><\/h3>\n

With so many people continuing to work remotely and organizations adapting to a long-term hybrid environment, employers are prioritizing meeting equity\u2014the idea that everyone can participate equally in video meetings regardless of location. The problem employers want to solve is that meetings involving a combination of in-person and remote attendees often create a subpar experience for the remote participants.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remote attendees struggle to see the people speaking or hear the conversations going on in the room. They may also have fewer opportunities to contribute to collaboration, and as a result they can often feel left out.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the release of CollabOS 1.5, a free software update, we are taking steps to solve these concerns and create a more immersive and inclusive meeting experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This release also includes new features that customers have requested, including the ability to 1) access device settings in a web browser over a secure connection, 2)\u00a0customize the image or message shown on room monitors, and 3) deploy Tap Scheduler to meeting rooms as a Microsoft Teams panel. See details below.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaker View uses audio intelligence and the two-camera system in <\/span>Rally Bar<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Rally Bar Mini<\/span><\/a> to detect and show the active speaker, while also showing the entire room. By default, the room view is shown as a smaller picture-in-picture inset within the main view of the person speaking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Showing the two views together gives remote meeting participants both a close up of the active speaker and situational context of what\u2019s happening in the room. A clear view of the person speaking also allows remote attendees to see body language, facial gestures, and other non-verbal cues that are vital to communication and collaboration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaker View is now available on cloud conferencing partner platforms, including:<\/span><\/p>\n
