Logitech Democratizes Meeting Room Control
Logitech Tap Brings One-touch Video to the World’s Leading Collaboration Platforms
Logitech introduced
Logitech Tap, a touch control display that makes collaboration rooms easy to deploy and use. Tap is part of pre-configured room
solutions for major collaboration platform providers such as Google Hangouts Meet Hardware, Microsoft Teams Rooms (formerly Skype
Room Systems), and Zoom Rooms. Like other Logitech conferencing equipment, Tap is built on open standards, enabling a broader set
of integrations, for example with interactive whiteboards, room control functions, and more.
The tech challenges in meeting rooms, for example starting video calls and managing the remote control, have continued to plague
workers despite advancements in conferencing technologies. With the addition of Tap, Logitech Room Solutions simplify the
deployment and use of video conferencing in any meeting room. Coupled with intuitive software from leading collaboration service
providers, it’s easier than ever before to deliver functions like one-touch start, calendaring, and seamless content sharing.

“Over the past five years, we’ve changed the video conferencing market by bringing simple, high-quality, video devices to the
masses. With Tap, we are extending our approach to meeting control,” said Scott Wharton, vice president and general manager of
Logitech Video Collaboration. “In addition to enabling one-touch video with the world’s leading collaboration providers, Tap
challenges the complex and costly status quo of touch controllers by delivering an affordable, premium solution that can be used
for a variety of applications well beyond video conferencing.”
“Legacy meeting room control interfaces are far from ideal. Handheld remotes have too many buttons and are hard to use. AV
controllers can be expensive and typically require custom programming. Generic tablets are more affordable, but need charging, rely
on Wi-Fi, and often walk away,” explained Ira M. Weinstein, managing partner at analyst firm
Recon Research. “With Tap, Logitech is tackling the meeting room UI problem head on by offering a low-profile, enterprise-ready
universal controller that works with any compute platform and collaboration app, yet is cost-effective enough to fit almost any
budget.”
As an integral component of Logitech Room Solutions, Tap couples the purpose-built utility and robust build quality of a meeting
room touch control panel with the affordability and flexibility of a tablet. It delivers one-touch video calling simplicity for
users in an IT-friendly design ideal for mass deployments. Logitech Room Solutions with Tap include all necessary components in one
package: the Logitech Tap touch controller, a small form factor computer with room-optimized video conferencing software from
Google, Microsoft or Zoom, and a Logitech conferencecam.
Featuring a 10.1-inch touchscreen, HDMI input for content sharing, and robust cable retention, Logitech Tap is designed and
engineered for reliable convenience in the meeting room. A range of table, riser and wall mounts offer tremendous placement
flexibility, while in-wall rated cabling enables topologies and room layouts that please the eye as well as IT.
Logitech Tap is on display this week in Amsterdam at
ISE 2019, the world’s largest AV and systems integration show. Visit Logitech in booths 11-C110 and 15-C255. You can also
