Poly Studio V12 vs Poly Studio USB Video Bar: Is It Time to Upgrade?
The original Poly Studio USB Video Bar set the standard for high-quality video collaboration in mid-sized rooms. However, with the new Poly Studio V12 release, Poly has taken a giant leap forward in performance, design, and flexibility, especially for small meeting spaces and huddle rooms.
Whether you’re exploring a refresh cycle, supporting a return-to-office initiative, or simply looking for a more capable, compact USB video bar, the Poly Studio V12 is designed to impress.
The best part? It’s available now and already deployed in our Customer Experience Center in Cape Canaveral, FL, where you can schedule a demo to see it in action.
