ClickShare: Simplifying BYOD and Enhancing Remote Participation

Barco's ClickShare enables streamlined collaboration by automatically selecting the room's camera and audio, allowing in-room participants to utilize the meeting room's equipment for an optimized view and sound. The system's speaker recognition helps track who is speaking, making it easy to follow along with meeting discussions. The optimized shared display shows the team's meeting window on the in-room display, allowing all remote or in-person participants to follow without disruption. Additionally, voice isolation ensures that only in-room participants' voices are heard clearly, eliminating background noise and enhancing communication. These features make ClickShare an ideal solution for hybrid teams, creating a frictionless experience for all participants.

SmartFocus: Maximizing Meeting Engagement

Barco's SmartFocus technology is revolutionizing hybrid meetings by ensuring all participants, regardless of location, have equal visibility and access to content. SmartFocus intelligently adapts content to each participant's device and position, creating an engaging experience in the office or remotely. By dynamically adjusting the view based on the conversation flow, it automatically switches between the room camera and the speaker's laptop camera, ensuring remote participants get the most relevant view. For example, if the conversation shifts, SmartFocus will smoothly transition to a more focused view of the active speaker or the group, allowing remote participants to capture essential details such as facial expressions and body language. This adaptability helps remote participants feel as involved as those in the room, enhancing meeting engagement. By continuously adapting to the needs of each meeting, SmartFocus makes remote collaboration just as effective as in-person, ensuring that all participants stay engaged and informed throughout the meeting.

Unified Experience for Hybrid Work

Integrating ClickShare, The Neat Bar 2, and Neat Bar Pro with SmartFocus creates an ideal solution for modern hybrid workplaces. With wireless sharing, premium video conferencing, and optimized content visibility, these tools ensure every participant can collaborate effectively, remotely or in the room.
