Organizations are increasingly adopting Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) or Bring Your Own Meeting (BYOM) solutions to accommodate hybrid work needs and ensure flexibility in meeting spaces. Logitech offers three innovative solutions—Logitech Extend, Logitech Swytch, and the Logitech Active USB Cable—to streamline BYOD experiences in rooms of all sizes. Here’s a detailed look at their key features, primary use cases, and how they enable seamless integration with dedicated Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms.
Logitech Extend
Primary Use Case: Logitech Extend is designed to convert dedicated Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms on Android into BYOD spaces, allowing users to bypass the pre-configured video provider and use their preferred platform.
How It Works: With a single USB-C cable, users can connect their laptops or mobile devices to Logitech conference cameras, such as the Rally Bar family or MeetUp, and instantly launch meetings using their preferred video platform.
Two Use Cases, One Solution:BYOD Passthrough: Works seamlessly in Android-based rooms, enabling users to bypass pre-configured platforms like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or Google Meet. BYOD Extension: Offers plug-and-play simplicity in BYOD rooms with Logitech conference cameras in BYOD mode.
Logitech Extend provides a scalable solution with extended cable reach (up to 328 ft using Cat6a cables) and optional power delivery of up to 100W for connected devices. This makes it ideal for larger meeting rooms where flexibility is key.
Logitech Swytch
Primary Use Case: Logitech Swytch is optimized for converting PC-based dedicated Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, or Google Meet setups into BYOD spaces.

Key Features: Compatible with various platforms, including Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS. Includes DisplayLink technology for high-quality video (up to 4K/60fps) and smooth device connectivity.
Logitech Swytch simplifies meeting room flexibility, enabling organizations to accommodate different conferencing software without compromising on quality.

In today’s hybrid work environment, having the right webcam is essential for clear communication and professional video quality. Logitech, a leader in webcam technology, offers two excellent options for users seeking high-quality, budget-friendly webcams: the Logitech Brio 100 and Brio 105. While these webcams share many similarities, they cater to different needs and audiences. Below, we compare their features to help you make an informed decision.
This blog was inspired by a question from one of our YouTube viewers, who asked about the differences between the Brio 100 and Brio 105. It’s a great question, as it can be confusing for those who are not aware of the distinction between Logitech’s consumer products and their Logitech for Business solutions.
Resolution and Video Performance
Both the Brio 100 and Brio 105 support Full HD 1080p at 30fps and HD 720p at 30fps, ensuring clear and smooth video for virtual meetings and content creation. They also feature a diagonal field of view of 58°, making them ideal for one-on-one calls or focused presentations. Neither webcam supports digital zoom or autofocus, maintaining simplicity for users who don’t require advanced customization.
Light Correction
Both webcams feature Logitech’s RightLight 2 technology, which automatically balances brightness, adjusts contrast, and compensates for challenging light environments to create a natural presentation.
Audio Capabilities
The Brio 100 and Brio 105 feature a single built-in, omnidirectional microphone with a range of up to 1 meter. This ensures clear audio quality for virtual meetings and calls.
Eco-Friendliness
Both the Brio 100 (Graphite Part Number: 960-001580) and Brio 105 (Graphite Part Number: 960-001579) color models are made from 77% post-consumer recycled plastic (excluding electronic components, cables, and packaging). The Brio 100 also offers an Off-White color model (Part Number: 960-001616), which contains 34% post-consumer recycled plastic (excluding electronic components, cables, and packaging). While both use FSC™-certified paper packaging and are certified carbon neutral, their packaging designs differ. The Brio 100 packaging is designed for retail and includes a slot for hanging on shelves, while the Brio 105 packaging is a simple brown box designed for mass deployments without retail shelf slots. For environmentally conscious users or organizations with sustainability goals, the Brio 105 is the more responsible choice.
Privacy and Connectivity
Both webcams feature an integrated privacy shutter, offering peace of mind when the camera is not in use. Both the Brio 100 and Brio 105 have an attached cable that is 5 ft (1.5 m) in length, providing flexibility for different setups. Both models connect via USB-A and offer plug-and-play simplicity.
Software and Certifications
The Brio 105 supports Logi Tune and Logitech Sync software, enabling users to customize image settings and manage deployments remotely. It is also certified for Google Meet and Works With Chromebook, making it ideal for professional environments. The Brio 100, while functional, does not have these certifications or advanced software capabilities.
Target Audience
Logitech Brio 100: This webcam is designed for general users who need a reliable webcam for casual meetings, remote learning, or basic video communication.
Logitech Brio 105: Tailored for business professionals and organizations that prioritize certifications, eco-friendliness, and advanced software support for remote management.

Effective communication requires crystal-clear audio in a hybrid work environment. Microsoft Teams Voice Isolation and Zoom Personalized Audio Isolation are advanced features designed to suppress background noise and enhance voice clarity during meetings. Here’s how you can activate these features and maximize their effectiveness, especially when using a professional-grade headset.
Microsoft Teams: Voice Isolation
Microsoft Teams offers two primary noise suppression settings:
Voice isolation: Focuses on isolating your voice from both background noise and other voices, ensuring only your voice is heard.
Note: A voice profile is required to use Voice Isolation without a headset.
Steps to Enable Voice Isolation in Microsoft Teams
Join a Meeting or Call: Open Microsoft Teams and start or join a meeting.
Access Audio Settings: During the meeting, click the More options (three dots) menu in the toolbar.
Select Device Settings: Locate the audio settings.
Choose Noise Suppression: Under the microphone settings, select one of the following: Background noise only Voice isolation (recommended for the clearest audio).
Using a headset offers several key advantages when leveraging Microsoft Teams Voice Isolation and Zoom Personalized Audio Isolation:
Superior Voice Isolation: Headsets with noise-canceling microphones ensure your voice is clearly captured, minimizing background distractions.
Practicality in Public Spaces: Whether you’re in an airport terminal, hotel lobby, or coffee shop, a headset allows you to stay focused on your call, reducing the impact of environmental noise.
Enhanced Listening Experience: Headsets provide better audio clarity, especially in noisy environments. For the best results, use a headset with ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) speakers to block out distractions and focus on the conversation.
Conclusion
Microsoft Teams Voice Isolation and Zoom Personalized Audio Isolation are powerful tools for improving audio quality in virtual meetings. Their performance is greatly enhanced with the use of professional-grade headsets.

The Poly Studio R30 video bar, designed for small meeting spaces, offers a variety of tracking modes via Poly Lens to adapt to different meeting scenarios. These modes automatically adjust the camera’s framing, ensuring that your participants are always shown in the best possible view. From Speaker Framing to People Framing, the Poly Studio R30 gives you control over how your meeting is presented.

Tracking Modes Available in Poly Lens for Poly Studio R30
Here’s a breakdown of the different tracking modes available through Poly Lens:

Speaker Framing: Automatically focuses on the active speaker, zooming in on them to keep them at the center of attention. Speaker Framing is perfect for presentations and one-on-one meetings, ensuring the speaker is always the primary focus.
Group Framing: In Group Framing, the camera adjusts to include all participants in the room. It dynamically zooms in or out based on the number of people in the room, making it suitable for team meetings where everyone should be visible.
Presenter Mode: This mode is designed for situations where a single presenter moves around the room. The camera tracks the presenter’s movements, ensuring they remain in frame as they speak and interact with others. It’s a great choice for training sessions and workshops.
Conversation Mode: In small group discussions, Conversation Mode follows participants who are actively speaking. This mode is particularly useful for capturing the natural flow of conversation, ensuring that everyone who contributes is visible.
People Framing: People Framing captures each individual participant in their own frame, making it ideal for interviews or panel discussions. This mode ensures that every participant’s expression and reaction is clearly visible, providing a more engaging meeting experience.

In the era of remote work and digital collaboration, a reliable video conferencing setup is more critical than ever. Jabra offers two cutting-edge solutions: the PanaCast and PanaCast 20. While both are engineered to enhance your video calls, they cater to different use cases. Let’s dive into the specifics to help you choose the perfect device for your needs.
Design and Build
Jabra PanaCast is billed as the world’s first intelligent 180° Panoramic-4K plug-and-play video solution. It’s designed for professional environments and can be flexibly mounted on various surfaces for optimal coverage.
Jabra PanaCast 20 offers personal, AI-enabled video conferencing with a portable design and integrated privacy cover. This device is tailored for individual users who need high-quality video on the go.
Video Quality and Field of View
The original PanaCast boasts an impressive 180° field of view in Panoramic-4K resolution, ensuring everyone in the meeting room is visible. The auto light correction and electronic Pan-Tilt-Zoom (ePTZ) maintain video quality in varying light conditions.
Conversely, the PanaCast 20 features a narrower 90° field of view, but with the same 4K resolution. Its Intelligent Zoom, and Intelligent Lighting Optimization are designed to keep the focus on the individual, adjusting the frame and lighting in real time.
The PanaCast 20 has three built-in MEMS microphones, providing an optimal range of up to 2.5 meters (8 feet) and ensuring crisp audio pickup directly out of the box. Get excellent audio by pairing with Jabra’s extensive professional-grade headsets and speakerphones.
Connectivity and Compatibility
Both devices connect via USB 3.0, ensuring fast and reliable video data transfer. However, the PanaCast offers additional compatibility with a USB 2.0 through the Jabra USB hub, making it more versatile for different setups.
Innovative Features
Jabra’s PanaCast includes Intelligent Zoom and Whiteboard, which are ideal for team settings. It can automatically capture and enhance a whiteboard’s content in real time.
PanaCast 20 shines with personalization features such as Picture-in-Picture and On-device Background Effects, catering to personal users who need to control their video presentation intricately.
Use Cases
Choose Jabra PanaCast if you are outfitting a meeting room and need to capture every participant or if your focus is on collaborative, interactive sessions involving whiteboards or large group discussions. I carry the Jabra PanaCast Meet Anywhere Bundle everywhere I go. I have used it several times when people couldn’t join an in-person meeting, and there was no AV equipment in the room. The Jabra Meet Anywhere and Meet Anywhere+ bundles have everything you need to transform any space into a meeting place. A compact travel pouch keeps the intelligent Jabra PanaCast and premium Speak 750 in one easily portable place, so you can enjoy simple plug-and-play communication whenever needed. Check out this video! Jabra PanaCast Meet Anywhere Bundles | Unboxing and Overview
Opt for the PanaCast 20 if you are a remote professional or educator seeking high-quality video and audio for one-on-one interactions or if you frequently move between workspaces and require a portable, personal solution. The Jabra PanaCast 20 has become my default webcam for video meetings and filming YouTube videos! Check out this video! Jabra PanaCast 20 Unboxing, Overview, Intelligent Zoom and PIP Demo
Price Point
Considering the budget, PanaCast is priced at $550, reflecting its enterprise-focused features. The PanaCast 20, at $199, is more accessible for individual users or those needing a high-quality video solution without the breadth of a full room capture.
Conclusion
The Jabra PanaCast and PanaCast 20 cater to different environments but share the same commitment to quality. For expansive room coverage and interactive sessions, the PanaCast is unmatched. For personal use with intelligent framing and lighting, the PanaCast 20 excels.
Evaluate your space, audience, and type of communication to make the best choice for your video conferencing needs. It’s best to contact an Authorized Jabra Reseller like Call One, Inc. to help guide your decision.
