Article: Fix Hybrid Meetings with Sight

Hybrid Meetings are Simply not Equitable

Remote workers are simply at a disadvantage compared to their in-office counterparts, and these issues have a measurable impact on inclusiveness and productivity. According to Frost & Sullivan, 26% of IT decision makers list “lack of meeting equity” among the top challenges their end users face when working remotely.¹  In addition, Microsoft’s 2022 Work Trends Index found that 43% of remote employees and 44% of hybrid employees report not feeling included during meetings. The company’s 2022 Work Trends Index found that inefficient virtual meetings are the top disruptor of productivity.

To address concerns with meeting equity, many of you turned to solutions like Logitech Rally Bar or Rally Bar Mini, which gave you integrated audio, video, and microphone as well as AI features like RightSight 2 auto-framing technology, Grid View, Speaker View, and Group View to give remote users more control over how they view the conference room feed. 

But what if we could extend the power of the Rally Bar solutions to help remote users feel like they’re truly in the room and at the center of the conversation?

The Value of Sight for IT Teams

IT departments are increasingly tasked with scaling up their organizations’ video conferencing capabilities, so solutions that are easy to deploy, manage, and use will provide tremendous value to their organization and their end users. Not to mention, IT would score a huge win with their organization’s end users if they could help solve a major pain point of hybrid meetings — keeping remote workers engaged, thus boosting meeting productivity. Sight checks all those boxes.

Installation is simple, as Sight only requires two CAT cables, one that plugs into a PoE+ port or PoE injector for power and one with a dongle that plugs into Rally Bar or Rally Bar Mini.
