Neat Bar and Board use ultrasound to detect movement/a change in its surroundings to wake up. For this, the Neat Bar and Neat Board do have an ultrasonic speaker and ultrasonic microphones. As the camera is not used and people are not captured in any way.

No, Neat Bar has one USB-C connection. This does work with a touch screen today, or will work as USB passthrough in the future. These two functions cannot be combined using a (3rd party) USB hub.

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.

In order to change meeting platforms, you will need to factory reset your Neat devices. Once you are at the end of the setup process, just select the platform you would like to run.

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.

Microsoft level camera controls are not currently available on Android-based devices. This is a known limitation in the Microsoft Teams Room on Android (MTRoA) software application.

You can still use Neat level camera controls from a swipe menu that is available during calls. To access this swipe menu, please do the following:

1. Swipe with one finger from the right side of the Pad towards the left
2. A slide out menu will appear with camera control options
3. Select between group auto framing, individual auto framing, or no auto framing

Note: You can only use this menu to alter your camera settings during an active meeting. Your preferences will not be saved if you are using the swipe menu outside of an active meeting.

You can also enable or disable Neat camera features outside of an active meeting through your Neat level system settings. To access these settings, please do the following:

1. Open Device Settings
2. Enter Admin settings
3. Open the Audio & video Menu
4. Select the toggle next “Auto framing” to enable/disable the feature
5. Select the preferred framing option (Group or Individual) when feature is enabled

If you are setting up a Neat device, you may be asked to enter the activation code or activation key when signing in to your Zoom Room.

An activation code is a 16 digit number that is generated after setting up the Zoom Room on the Zoom web portal. When it is generated, an email is sent out to the user who created the room and it is also viewable in the Zoom web portal. If you are not a Zoom administrator in your organization, you will have to ask for this code from your Zoom admin when you first set up a Neat Bar/Pad/Board.

The activation code is active for 10 days, after which a new activation code will need to be generated (you can use the ‘regenerate’ button).

For more information, please see the Zoom article: Signing into Zoom Room using an activation code

Often referred to as Neat Symmetry, Individual auto framing is an innovation that aims to restore visual balance between remote home workers and meeting-room participants.

With Individual auto framing, we can now dynamically frame individuals in the meeting room and join the frames together, eliminating the distance between them. The result is a single frame with multiple meeting participants, all roughly at the same size.

For more details, please read this article about Neat auto framing.

Yes, Neat devices support full Zoom digital signage functionality. Please see here for more info: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360000030683-Zoom-Rooms-digital-signage

The Zoom Rooms activation code is in your Zoom portal. If you’ve already added the meeting room to your Zoom account, scroll down to that room name in the Zoom Portal to find your activation code.

For more information on how to sign in to your Zoom Room, please see this article from Zoom: Signing in to Zoom Rooms

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

Yes, certificate based 802.1x connections are currently available as beta functionality in our devices. See here for more info: How to configure 802.1x on Neat Devices 

With Neat Board you have a choice of connecting to your network wirelessly or by Ethernet.

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.

Neat Bar can be connected to one or two screens. When connecting to only one TV screen, you must connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI 1 port of the Neat Bar. The HDMI 2 port should be used for the additional screen.

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.

The short answer is no. The Neat Board is a self-sufficient Zoom Room or Microsoft Teams room device with touch screen so all the setup can be done directly on your Neat Board, without the need of a Neat Pad. This is unlike a Neat Bar, which requires a Neat Pad to configure it.

However, you have the option to purchase additional Neat Pad(s) and set them up as a controller or scheduler for your room. For example, you may have a large meeting room and do not want to walk to the Neat Board every time you want to join/leave/mute the meeting and instead would like to have a Neat Pad on a desk closer to your participants. You can then buy a Neat Pad and choose the setup ‘Add a controller’ to use with the Neat Board. Similarly, you can use the Neat Pad as a Scheduler for your meeting room as well.

Turn on Neat Pad and choose ‘Add controller’ to configure Neat Pad as a controller for any Zoom Room. Our setup wizard visually guides you through the simple steps for setup. From Neat Pad, you can sign in to your Zoom account or pair using a Zoom Room activation code. Within minutes you’ll be completely set up and ready for action.

For a step-by-step guide, see the article Neat Pad as a Controller for non-Neat Zoom Rooms

Turn on Neat Pad and choose ‘Add Neat Pad for Room Availability’ to configure Neat Pad as a scheduler for any Zoom Room. Our setup wizard visually guides you through the simple steps for both setup and mounting. From Neat Pad, you can sign in to your Zoom account or pair using a Zoom activation code. Within minutes you’ll be completely set up and ready for action.

For a step-by-step guide, please see the article Using Neat Pad as a Scheduling Display for Zoom Rooms.
