Tap vs. Remote controller capabilities with CollabOS
CollabOS offers multiple setup options for Logitech Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini devices. While the included remote controller can handle initial device setup, service providers require a Logitech Tap (USB, IP, or Cat5e) controller for full functionality.
Remote Controller Capabilities
Complete CollabOS initial setup
Adjust camera PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) during calls
Control volume and muting
Note: Devices in BYOD as a service provider can be set up and used with just a remote controller.
Tap Controller Necessity
A Logitech Tap controller (USB, IP, or Cat5e) is required by service providers like:
Microsoft Teams Rooms
Google Meet
Zoom Rooms
Tap Controller Benefits
One-touch meeting joins
Full in-meeting management (participants, content sharing, layouts)
Secure code-based login
In summary: While the remote helps with initial setup and basic adjustments, a Logitech Tap controller is mandatory for the complete meeting room experience with your chosen video conferencing platform.
