Designing the Next Generation of Zoom Rooms
Over the past decade, Logitech and Zoom have worked together with a shared goal: to make hybrid collaboration as natural and effortless as possible. Our joint solutions are known for their simplicity, whether for setup, joining meetings, content sharing, participant framing, management, or support.
Looking ahead, we see two trends driving an evolution in meeting rooms: the need to deploy video in more types of spaces, and the increasing use of AI in how teams meet and communicate. Anticipating these trends, Logitech and Zoom are taking a major step forward to ensure our hardware and software work together seamlessly to enable smart yet simple meetings in all spacesâeven the really big ones!
At Logitechâs recent product launch, we introduced several new solutionsâincluding Rally Bar 2, Rally System 2 Pro, and Rally Speaker 2 Pro & Maxâengineered to bring Zoom AI capabilities into every space across the enterprise.
Delivering Zoom AI into Medium and Large Spaces with Rally Bar 2
The original Rally Bar has long been a favorite for Zoom Room deployments. With Rally Bar 2, we are bringing enhanced on-device processing power to medium and large rooms, enabling advanced Zoom AI features to run natively onboard the device without needing additional compute.
This built-in performance directly enhances the remote Zoom experience and enables AI workflows for post-meeting summaries and actions:
Zoom Smart Name Tags: Rally Bar 2 features Right Sound 3 to capture and deliver studio-quality audio to everyone in the room and on the call. You can extend cutting-edge audio processing and pickup to even more spaces with Mic Pod 2. Great audio not only leads to more engaging conversations but enables more accurate Zoom MyNotes summaries and speaker attribution âa critical requirement for Zoom AI to enhance the meeting experience.
Dynamic Gallery: Rally Bar 2 provides advanced optics with a 1â image sensor and AI-powered framing that is integrated with Zoom intelligent gallery views. These hardware capabilities enable Zoom to deliver clear, crisp visuals for more productive interactions.
Workspace Insights: With built-in environmental and occupancy sensors, Rally Bar 2 feeds room usage data directly into Zoom Workplace Dashboard or Logitech Sync. Facilities teams can then easily monitor space utilization and automate room bookings to eliminate empty or unused spaces.
Simplifying Complex and Divisible Rooms with Rally System 2 Pro
While Logitech and Zoom have always helped companies simplify small, medium, and large meeting rooms, our customers are now asking us to bring that same approach to their high-value and divisible meeting spaces. These spaces have traditionally been an AV challenge, requiring multi-vendor setups, complicated programming, and ongoing support. To solve this, we designed Rally System 2 Pro to bring the same simplicity Zoom users expect into much larger room environments.
Coming next summer, Rally System 2 Pro will support multi-camera setups to integrate natively with intelligent Zoom Rooms framing modes like intelligent director. Using AI-powered Right Sight 3, Rally System 2 Pro automatically manages participant framing and presenter tracking, keeping the focus on active speakers as they sit and move naturally around the room.
Precision Audio Meets Live Translation in the Boardroom
For those very large spaces, we have also been working on something truly special. Delivering clear, natural audio across expansive rooms has traditionally required expensive ceiling hardware and complex pro audio deployment. Coming next summer, the new Logitech Rally Speaker 2 Pro and Rally Speaker 2 Max will introduce breakthrough Sound Shape technology, which uses highly precise and focused acoustic beams to distribute audio evenly across spaces.
Earlier this year, Zoom launched Voice Translator for real-time AI speech translation during meetings. We are excited to bring this to the next level. We are working closely with Zoom to develop a personalized language experience so everyone in the Zoom Room can not only hear but also understand whatâs being spoken. Itâs a remarkable innovation that, honestly, you will need to hear to believe.
Moving Hybrid Collaboration Forward
Together, Logitech and Zoom remain committed to building simple and smart solutions that adapt to the way people actually work. From standard huddle spaces to large boardrooms, our combined solutions continue to make intelligent collaboration simpler and more inclusive. Visit logitech.com/zoom to learn more.
