Here’s more from the announcement:
Huddly helps overcome the challenges of small meeting rooms that experience difficulties with group video. Screens are usually too close to participants and not everyone can be seen, which leads to frustration and a loss of engagement. Huddly IQ’s 150° wide-angle lens and full HD video makes sure everyone is seen and feels part of the conversation, especially as they are socially distanced. USB-powered and compatible with any platform, the Huddly IQ is ideal for smaller rooms and ad-hoc collaboration. Its simple plug and play set up is an effortless integration into any conference suite.
In fact, with Huddly IQ being Zoom and Microsoft Teams certified, it integrates seamlessly with Shure conferencing products. The expanded range of Shure Microflex Advance products – with complementary software for design, management, and control – offers expanded possibilities for systems integrators to deploy Shure’s premium audio capabilities into more types of meeting and collaboration environments than ever before. The Microflex Advance products are all natively designed to work with each other and provide the market with a fast and efficient means to deploy premium audio, with IntelliMix DSP in either device-based or software formats. They are also designed to work with leading AV conferencing services such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
