Yes. You can share content with all Neat devices, whether in a remote meeting or with teammates right there in the meeting room. Of course, the easiest way is to use a direct share from your Zoom client, but you can also share content using an HDMI cable.

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 default volume can be set on Neat Pad: Go to ‘Settings’ – ‘Speaker’ – ‘Volume’.

Neat Pad natively runs Zoom Rooms, enabling you to connect to your Zoom meeting via several familiar ways. If someone has already reserved the meeting room, you only have to tap ‘Start meeting’. To find the person you want to meet with or invite someone to meet with you on the fly tap ‘Meet now’. You can even connect to your meeting by tapping ‘Join’, located on the left-hand side of the interface, then by typing in the meeting ID for the meeting you wish to join.

You can find more details about the meeting controls for the Zoom Rooms interface here.

To create a recording when using your Neat Bar, you can press the Record button on your Neat Pad. Note that you must be the host of a meeting in order to be able to record it, or have permission to do so from the meeting’s host. When you begin the recording, it will be uploaded to the cloud. Once the meeting is over, a link to your recording will be emailed to you.

No. Neat Pad connects to your calendaring system through Zoom so that you can reserve a meeting room directly from your calendaring system. However, with Neat Pad configured as a scheduling display, you can also book the room directly from Neat Pad without having to go through your desktop calendaring system.

Please go to the Zoom administrator page and navigate to ‘Rooms’. Once you have chosen your specific room to edit, you can find the option ‘Start HDMI content share manually on controller’. Enabling this setting will prevent automatic sharing of content in the meeting.

Neat Bar has an HDMI in port and supports sharing screen content with audio via an HDMI cable. Note that this only supports 1080p30 resolution for content sharing and therefore you should connect a laptop that is capable of supporting this resolution.

Additionally, you can use ‘direct sharing’ (no cables required) offered by Zoom. There are two options for direct sharing:

  • Ultrasound proximity sharing: you just bring your laptop running Zoom desktop client near the Neat Bar and press the ‘Share screen’ button your laptop.
  • If proximity detection doesn’t work, you can activate direct sharing by entering a Sharing Key or Meeting ID. Click on Neat Pad’s ‘Share content’ button and you will see a Sharing code/Meeting ID. Now on your Zoom desktop client -> Home -> click on ‘Share screen’ and you’ll be asked to enter either Sharing Key or Meeting ID.

You can change your video layout by clicking on the ‘Change View option shown on your Neat Pad Zoom Room Controller. The options are ‘Speaker’, ‘Gallery’ or ‘Thumbnail’. If you would like to see multiple participants, you can choose the Gallery view.

However, if this is not working as expected, it is possible you have your TV screen connected to the incorrect HDMI port of your Neat Bar. Please ensure that when using a single TV screen, you are connected to the HDMI 1 port of your Neat Bar to your TV monitor. If you have a second screen, you can use HDMI 2 port of your Neat Bar.
