• Neat Focus lets you define specific camera pickup zones with Neat Center, spotlighting the speakers in those areas, so the focus stays where it’s needed most. 

• Speaker Framing intelligently highlights the active speaker, and/or previous speaker, so participants can easily follow the flow of conversation, even in busy or crowded meeting spaces.  

• Dual Neat Center support – The ability to pair two Neat Centers, expanding audio and video coverage for larger meeting spaces.  

• Individual framing across multiple devices, where all participants are dynamically captured from the best angle (coming 25.4)

Neat Focus lets you define a specific camera pickup zone, so the focus stays where it’s needed most. Whether spotlighting a teacher at the front of a classroom or an executive at the head of the table, Neat Focus prioritizes key participants instead of constantly reframing everyone in the room. This gives you more control and clarity for your meetings. This will be available in the 25.3 NeatOS update. 

Speaker Framing intelligently highlights the active speaker, and if two are speaking at the same time, they are both framed. This helps so far end can easily follow the flow of conversation, even in busy or crowded meeting spaces. This works with the main Neat device in front of the room and with Neat Center. This will be available in the Neat OS 25.3 update.

Each Neat Center has six audio beams and continuously chooses which beam has the optimal audio pickup. In addition, we correlate with the video stream where there are participants in the room. This combination ensures optimal framing of the speaker from the camera that has the best angle. 

What you hear:

• Beamforming on each Neat Center (6 beams on each) selects the best beam on each Neat Center, and is sent to the main device in front of the room. The main device selects the best beam from each of the devices. All devices run their audio processing, that also includes deep noise suppression. The main device only selects the best beam.

What you see at far end?

• Voice tracking – the main Neat device and Neat Center find the person speaking and the next best person speaking if two people are speaking. Microphones are used to detect which direction the voice is coming from. Our technology searches in directions where there are faces. This helps reduce errors and prevents selecting voice reflections. Using information from both the cameras and microphones to develop a robust and accurate solution.

Based on this information from microphones, the video intelligence makes the decision on which video view to show.

What to expect with short delays with switching involved with Speaker Framing: How much is the delay and why is it so fast?

• For a new speaker: minimum 3 seconds. This is to avoid false changes and maximize accuracy. The best view of the current speaker change is immediate.

Speaker Framing will highlight the active speaker in the room about 3 seconds after they start talking. It will take 3 seconds before moving to a new speaker in the room, but if no one speaks then after 11 seconds, it will default back to the main room view (whichever camera mode it was set on to begin with).  

If there are two current speakers – then both can be displayed side by side in the same stream.

We will support up to two Neat Centers, working in conjunction with the main Neat device, which is expected to be available in 2H 2025.

Pair an additional Neat Center to extend audio and video coverage to accommodate larger meeting spaces. By having two Neat Centers active within a single room system, you expand clear audio pickup and intelligent framing for a cohesive room experience, no matter where participants are seated.

• Audio: For audio performance, each Neat Center will cover 5 meters of audio pickup. So they should be placed accordingly to maximize coverage of the meeting space. Environmental factors like walls and walls will factor into the experience.  

• Video: Ideally the Neat Center(s) should be spread out so that each person is not too far from one of the Centers. To optimize the video quality of a specific person in the space with Neat Center, adjust the Neat Center so that one of the Center cameras is set in line with that person, as the image quality is better at the center of the camera view compared to the side.

For optimal performance, there should be close to zero packet loss and low latency. Bandwidth is not a primary factor as long as there is a network connection with 10 mbps (or more) available.

Known issues on Neat devices are kept up to date in our latest release notes.

To find our latest known issues, navigate to https://support.neat.no/c/manage/updates/, select the most recent release notes, then navigate to the known issues section of the article.

After completing Neat-level pairing with a Neat Board that’s running App Hub, the connected Neat Pad may sometimes get stuck on a screen showing only a settings icon—rather than displaying the expected App Hub interface. This can occur even though the Neat Pad successfully enters App Hub mode and completes the pairing process.

The issue tends to occur when the Neat Board is enrolled in Neat Pulse and configured with multiple apps (such as YouTube, Miro, or Appspace). In some cases, Neat Pad will eventually recover and load the correct screen on its own, but the delay can create a confusing and inconsistent experience for users.

To improve this experience, we’ve disabled the ability to add a Neat Pad to a Neat Board while App Hub is active. If you already have a Neat Pad connected, it will remain paired, but you now have the option to remove it. This is a temporary change while we work on enhancing the communication and behavior between Neat Pad and Neat Board in this setup.

For shared accounts:

• You can sign out from both devices using the Teams Admin Center if you have the security to do so.
• You can sign out from both devices in your Neat system settings. From the Settings menu on the Neat Pad, access Device Settings, then navigate to Teams page and select “Teams sign out” (this is password protected). This will sign out both Neat Bar and Neat Pad at the same time.

For both shared and personal accounts:

• You can connect a USB-C mouse to sign out on your Neat Bar using Microsoft Teams level settings. After connecting the mouse using a USB-C cable, navigate to the Settings menu and select the “Sign out” option.
• You can sign out from both devices by performing a factory reset on Neat Bar and Neat Pad.

Note: Selecting the option to sign out using Microsoft Teams level settings on Neat Pad will only sign out Neat Pad from your Microsoft Teams account. Your Neat Bar will remain signed on to your account.

All Neat devices run Neat OS, a hardened and secure firmware locked to work with Zoom Rooms and Microsoft Teams.

Discovery for wireless content sharing is via Bluetooth in Microsoft Teams.

Neat Pad uses the same resource account as the MTRoA device in the room. Neat Pad can be used with any Microsoft Teams Room as a Teams Panel device outside of the room. Note: Additional Pads will only be paired at the Microsoft level and will not be able to adjust Neat device settings.

For more information on the pairing process, visit our Understanding Neat and Microsoft Pairing on Neat devices article.

You can just have Group Framing enabled rather than Individual Framing. This is done in our Neat Device Settings under Audio & Video.

For more info, visit our article on Microsoft Teams Settings.

Resetting pairing through the Device Pairing menu only affects Microsoft level pairing. In order to fully pair you Pad to another device at the Neat level, you will need to do a full Factory Reset of the Pad and then pair it with the other Neat Device.

This will also update the device paring listed in Microsoft Teams.

Neat Pad is a simple and elegant touch screen you can configure as a controller inside any meeting room or use as a scheduling display outside any meeting room. Neat Pad is included with Neat Bar but can be paired with any Zoom Rooms or Microsoft Teams Room system, eliminating the need for an iPad, or other consumer-grade tablets. Thanks to just one Power over Ethernet cable, Neat Pad never runs out of battery either. It’s always on, ready for you to leap into action.

Detailed specifications for Neat Pad can be found on our website on Neat Pad Specifications.

You can also find more information through the Explore the technology interactive menu.

Neat Pad includes a wall-mount and side mount, so it’s easy for anyone to install and set up. Use the wall mount to fix Neat Pad to the wall as a controller in your meeting room or scheduling display outside your meeting room. Apply the side mount to attach Neat Pad to your doorframe or mullion.

Yes. The Neat Bar ships with a Neat Pad and both will need to be paired together to operate as a complete Zoom Room device.

When installing a Neat Bar with its dedicated Neat Pad, choose the setup: ‘Set up Neat Bar with controller’.

You can also buy additional Neat Pads to work as either extra Zoom Room Controller or Zoom Room Schedular (however, these do not need to be paired with a Neat Bar at the Neat level). If you are using the Neat Pad as an extra controller either for a Neat Bar/Neat Board or a 3rd party Zoom Room system, choose the setup ‘Add a controller’. To use Neat Pad as a Schedular, choose the ‘Add a schedular’ option.

Neat Bar and Neat Pad need to be on the same subnet to be able to find each other and pair together. In most cases, pairing problems occur because the Bar and Pad are not connected to the same subnet (and are unable to send/receive multicast packets between each other). For example, if you have connected your Bar to wired network, but Pad on Wi-Fi network, it is possible they are on two different networks in your company.

Please see Neat’s network and firewall requirements guide for further understanding of this topic.

A quick way to find out if you are in the same network is by finding the IP address and subnet mask of both Neat Pad (through the Pad settings) and Neat Bar (press the reset button once at the back of the Bar). If you are not familiar with IP addressing, please reach out to your Network administrator for confirmation, or email Neat’s technical support team at support@neat.no.

All Neat devices run Neat OS, a hardened and secure firmware that is locked to the Zoom Room and Microsoft Teams Room software.

Yes! All Neat devices support Wi-Fi and are compatible with both 2.4 and 5 Ghz networks. Users can choose the Wi-Fi option during the setup process. For more information, please see the article Wi-Fi support on Neat devices.

All Neat devices support Wi-Fi, and are compatible with both 2.4 and 5 Ghz networks. Users can choose the Wi-Fi option during the setup process. For Neat Bar and Neat Pad, the Wi-Fi configuration is done through the Neat Pad during the initial setup and pairing process. For a step-by-step guide on how to configure Wi-Fi on a Bar and Pad, please see the article: How to connect Neat Bar and Neat Pad over Wi-Fi

No. To ensure that it’s always ready for you to jump into meetings or share content, Neat Pad has been purpose-built as a reliable always-on device. This means that it relies on either PoE (Power over Ethernet) where available or a AC injector (supplied in the box) for power. However, it is able to join both Wi-Fi or wired networks.

You can clean the screen of a Neat Board, Neat Frame or a Neat Pad with any cleaning agent that is meant for PC screens. The panel consists of glass, so any alcoholic cleaner like isopropyl sanitiser should do the job. For the rest of the product, a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild detergent should work.

Yes. Kensington lock can be added to Neat Pad by attaching the wall adaptor to Neat Pad to secure.

This is likely due to an issue with your Microsoft mailbox processing rules. For more information please see the Microsoft Support link below outlining how to enable Teams Rooms devices to join third-party meetings:

Neat is quickly becoming a distinctive player as we continue to lead the market in delivering critical innovations that are driving the future of video collaboration. For several months, we’ve continued to field requests from Microsoft customers for Neat devices that support Teams. Neat’s broad portfolio of devices, unique feature set and proven track record for ground breaking innovations makes Neat an important addition to the existing ecosystem of Microsoft Teams devices to support hybrid work. Together, Microsoft and Neat intend to further drive innovation across meeting spaces.

From the start, Neat has focused on solving challenges in the meeting space through delightful experiences. The use of video collaboration across businesses of all sizes has exploded over the past 15 months. It’s now accessible to the masses, with hybrid work set to become the new normal. Zoom and Microsoft have emerged as the dominant platform leaders. Although some businesses have chosen one platform over the other, many companies want the option to deploy both Teams and Zoom across their organization. Supporting Teams and Zoom enables Neat to deliver our unique experiences across a broader market to more businesses globally.

Neat designs simple and elegant video devices that make virtual meetings feel almost as real as meeting face-to-face. They bring rich and meaningful experiences to people’s work, interactions and lives across any meeting space and have crystal-clear audio and video, plus advanced capabilities that support an enhanced, engaging and safer hybrid working and learning environment. A wide range of Zoom customers of all sizes and across all industries have enjoyed these exceptional experiences. These same advanced capabilities and experiences will now be available for Microsoft Teams customers as well.

Yes. Neat fully intends to make all of our rich experiences available to Microsoft Teams customers. Together with Microsoft, our R&D teams are hard at work developing the plan to ensure customers experience robust Neat Teams spaces that take advantage of features including:

• Neat Symmetry, which restores the balance between people in a meeting room and those who are remote by individually auto framing each in-room participant and instinctively following them as if they have their own camera person. That way, everyone’s always seen and heard, and people get the most natural feeling yet of being physically all in the same room together.
• Neat Sense, pending Microsoft support, monitors noise, light, people presence and the number of people in a room. Also, environmental factors, including air quality, humidity, CO2 and VOCs (organic chemicals, odors, scents, etc.). All of which ensure the safest and healthiest room environment possible.
• Neat Audio, which enables fluid conversations without any interruptions or double talk issues, where a participant’s audio is cut off if two people speak at the same time.
• The simple and delightful Neat out-of-the-box experience that allows people to equip any room with video in no time at all, thanks to Neat’s quick and easy-to-understand online set-up and installation guides.
• Fast and secure worldwide shipping with full before and after-sales customer support.

No. Neat devices will natively run Microsoft Teams. All customers have to do when they get their device is plug it in. Then they can jump right into a Teams call.

Neat has always made it super easy for customers to purchase Neat devices in a way that’s most convenient for them. That includes buying directly from Neat via neat.no or through our ecosystem of value-added resellers. Please contact hello@neat.no for more information.
