Why we install Neat
Neat designs conferencing devices that work as complete, self-contained systems: the camera, microphones, speakers and software are made to work together, with no room computer to maintain. The result is a clean installation, a consistent interface for users and straightforward fleet management. Neat is one of the two conferencing brands we standardize on, alongside Logitech.
The systems we use
| System | Typical room | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Neat Bar | Small to medium room | All-in-one video bar that sits below or above the display |
| Neat Board | Huddle to small room | All-in-one touchscreen that combines display, camera, microphones and speakers in one unit |
| Neat Pad | Any room | Touch controller for the table, or scheduling panel at the door |
Neat publishes room-size guidance for each product, and we check it against your actual room before we recommend a system.
Zoom Rooms and Microsoft Teams Rooms
Neat systems are built for the major meeting platforms. We configure each room for Zoom Rooms or Microsoft Teams Rooms, connect it to your calendar system and make sure one-touch join works before we leave.

Neat or Logitech?
Both are excellent, and for many rooms either will do the job. We compare them on camera behavior, audio pickup, how the room is laid out, the controller you prefer and what your IT team already manages. Our video bar guide lays out the comparison.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Neat Bar and Neat Board?
A Neat Bar is a video bar that works with a separate display, which suits small to medium conference rooms. A Neat Board combines the display and the conferencing hardware in one touchscreen, which suits huddle and small rooms where simplicity and a small footprint matter most.
Does Neat work with Zoom Rooms and Microsoft Teams Rooms?
Yes. Neat systems are available for both. We configure each room for the platform you use.
What is Neat Pad used for?
Neat Pad is a touch panel. In the room it works as the controller at the table. Outside the door it shows the room's schedule and lets people book it.
Can you mix Neat and Logitech rooms in one office?
Yes. Both run the same meeting platforms, so rooms feel the same to users. We generally recommend choosing one brand per room size to keep support simple.
