KORTRIJK, Belgium, February 11, 2020 — Barco, global leader in professional meeting room visualization and collaboration solutions, today announced its partnership with Logitech to combine ClickShare Conference, its wireless conferencing solution, with Logitech Video Collaboration products. The new all-in-one solutions provide organizations with outstanding conferencing experiences in any workspace – from huddle rooms to large meeting rooms.

ClickShare Conference is the latest product range in Barco’s highly appreciated ClickShare family for wireless collaboration experiences. ClickShare Conference is all about wireless conferencing and BYOM (Bring Your Own Meeting), as it allows you to join any type of video conference from your own device, whether in huddle, a meeting room or a board room. ClickShare Conference works seamlessly with your video conferencing software, your camera brand, your laptop, and most importantly, makes remote meetings as intuitive as having a face-to-face meeting. Launched in 2012, ClickShare is the industry’s leading wireless presentation solution, equipped in more than 700,000 meeting rooms worldwide at the end of 2019. Users love the collaborative solution for the freedom it offers by ensuring a seamless setup and unprecedented ease of use. Building on the success of ClickShare, ClickShare Conference enables intuitive wireless conferencing.

Plug-and-play simplicity

The Logitech Room Solutions for Barco ClickShare Conference are all-in-one packages pairing ClickShare Conference with Logitech MeetUp or Rally conference cameras and contain all the components needed for video conferencing. It’s as easy to set up as it is to use – just open the box, connect and get started. Logitech Room Solutions for Barco ClickShare Conference come in three variants, depending on the size of the meeting room: from huddle rooms to large meeting rooms.

All-in-one video conferencing tool

“By integrating the functionality of the camera and audio in the meeting room, ClickShare Conference meets the market need for agnostic unified communication and collaboration (UCC),” says David Fitzgerald, VP Global Alliances for Barco. “The key to the ease of use offered by ClickShare is the high-quality and reliability of our solutions. We are pleased to team up with Logitech, a market leader in video collaboration solutions, and offer organizations an all-in-one package that ensures absolute peace of mind.”

Offering a better user experience
