These conference call innovations range from collaborative whiteboards to intelligent conference call speakers.
While conference calling has been around for decades, technology's rapid evolution has made engagement with co-workers, clients and other peers easier than ever. Whether spotlighting enhanced video chat capabilities or small space connectivity hubs, these trends celebrate the power of virtual connection.
Standouts include the GE Kitchen Hub -- a multi-functional unit that boasts a range hood with dual cameras, built-in Google Assistant support and an interactive 27-inch display screen specially designed for video calls. The pro-grade yet portable Jabra Speak 510 Bluetooth Speakerphone and the Katai BlueJay 360 camera are other notable examples that take traditional teleconferencing tech to new heights.
In particular, the Katai BlueJay 360 camera boasts a 48MP sensor for 4K video capabilities, making face-to-face communication seamless from anywhere in the world.
