San Francisco: To support business professionals who work remotely, Zoom on Wednesday unveiled an all-in-one device under its new Zoom for the Home category, designed to enhance the video conferencing experience.
The first Zoom for Home device is called DTEN ME produced by partner DTEN to create an immersive and productive workspace.
Priced at $ 599, the device has a 27-inch screen. Other features include three built-in wide-angle cameras for high-resolution video; a set of 8 microphones for crystal-clear audio in meetings and phone calls; and a touch screen for interactive screen sharing, whiteboard, annotation, and ideation.
“After experiencing remote work ourselves for the past few months, it was clear that we needed to innovate a new category dedicated to remote workers,” said Eric S. Yuan, CEO of Zoom, in a statement.
“I am very proud of the team for continuing to think outside the box and demonstrate why Zoom is the best-unified communications platform that can meet the needs of all types of users.”
“Zoom for Home – DTEN ME” works immediately and connects seamlessly to anyone with a Zoom Meeting license, the company said.
Zoom for Home is also compatible with all Zoom Rooms devices, including other Neat and Poly hardware solutions, allowing users to select the hardware they need to create the perfect communication experience for working from home in spaces such as rooms seating and screens mounted, he added.
Zoom for home devices can be configured to be managed by IT remotely through the Administration Portal or self-managed by the end-user.
Currently available for pre-order, the first Zoom for Home device is expected to ship in August.
