It&#8217;s no longer defined by a specific location. Work happens wherever people happen to be &#8211; at home, in the office, or on the go. This hybrid way of working has put a spotlight on the importance of meeting equity. Remote and in-office workers don\u2019t always have an equal seat at the table, especially when meeting rooms are involved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are working to solve that challenge with Zoom Rooms Smart Gallery and Logitech video collaboration solutions, so that all participants can feel included in meetings, wherever they are.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zoom Rooms Smart Gallery Experience<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When every participant in a video meeting is remote (as has often been the case since early 2020), everyone has an equal experience. However, as some people return to the office and begin gathering in meeting rooms, those who join those meetings remotely are often at a disadvantage compared to their in-room counterparts. Remote participants may not always have a clear view of who is speaking, and often miss subtle expressions, body language, and other clues that are meaningful to communication and collaboration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zoom Rooms Smart Gallery is a new innovative experience that aims to create effective collaboration among remote attendees and Zoom Rooms participants, with a familiar and easy-to-use, face-to-face meeting experience. Users of Logitech conference cameras and room solutions for Windows, Mac, and appliance-based Zoom Rooms can now experience what Smart Gallery has to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zoom Rooms Smart Gallery with Logitech Appliances<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, Logitech Zoom Rooms Appliances like Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini, support Multi-Stream, part of the Zoom Rooms Smart Gallery experience. <\/span><strong>Multi-Stream<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a camera control mode option that allows a Zoom Rooms system to send multiple video streams from a single device.\u00a0 RightSight 2 enabled appliances can use Zoom\u2019s Smart Gallery: Multi-Stream technology to provide a close-up view of the active speaker with a separate contextual view of the meeting space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This beta feature can be enabled on supported Logitech Zoom Rooms Appliances running CollabOS 1.5 or later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe title=\"RightSight2 With Zoom Rooms Smart Gallery\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/onBfj0Qxb1I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RightSight 2 with Zoom Rooms Smart Gallery: Multi-Stream<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Zoom and Logitech continue to innovate together, the Smart Gallery experience on Logitech Zoom Rooms Appliances will continuously evolve to bring additional features, such as using multiple cameras and adding additional simultaneous video streams, to create more effective and immersive meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zoom Rooms Smart Gallery with Logitech Conference Cameras Using a PC or Mac<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smart Gallery also works with all Zoom-certified Logitech conference cameras with computers running Zoom Rooms 5.9 software or later.\u00a0 With a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/support.zoom.us\/hc\/articles\/4403190845069-Getting-started-with-Smart-Gallery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">compatible computer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Zoom\u2019s AI-driven <\/span><strong>Multi-Focus<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> experience, and the powerful optics from Logitech\u2019s cameras, remote attendees can see close-up views of in-room participants, with a separate overall room view, for a more inclusive meeting experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 900px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-28957-1\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logitech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ezgif.com-gif-maker.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.logitech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ezgif.com-gif-maker.mp4\">https:\/\/www.logitech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ezgif.com-gif-maker.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zoom Rooms Smart Gallery: Multi-Stream with Zoom AI<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those with more than one Logitech conference camera, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/support.zoom.us\/hc\/articles\/4423188231053-Using-Multi-Camera-mode-in-Zoom-Rooms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zoom Rooms <\/span><strong>Multi-Camera<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mode<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is also available for you to display up to three separate camera feeds from a single Zoom Rooms system simultaneously.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-28958\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logitech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Picture3-300x119.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"688\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.logitech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Picture3-300x119.png 300w, https:\/\/www.logitech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Picture3-768x305.png 768w, https:\/\/www.logitech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Picture3.png 936w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 688px) 100vw, 688px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Classroom\/Training Room with Multiple Cameras<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each Zoom Room can currently produce up to three individual video feeds.
