Simple One-Touch Join for Video Conference Meetings
Rating: 10 out of 10
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
The Dolby Conference Phone (Dolby Voice) units, or flying saucers, as we call them, have been used across the whole of our division from the UK and Ireland all the way down to Australia and New Zealand. Some sites have a number of these depending on how many meeting rooms they have on site (we try to provide the unit for every meeting room within the divison). We also have some VIP users who have the unit set up in their office due to a large number of vIdeo conferences that they do throughout the day.

- Supports laptop screens on two TV screens without joining a video conference
- Reduces mess of cables In the room
- Dolby audio sound quality
- Speaker and microphone within the same unit on the table
- Supports wide range of cameras, including their own cameras
- Easy to clean
- Robust
Cons
- Support of three TV screens would be nice In some rooms
Likelihood to Recommend
Implementing these units within our business reduced the number of support requests to our internal IT support desk. This was simply because these units are so simple to use. The user books a video conference meeting within Outlook and includes the meeting room they wish to hold the video conference in. Within five minutes, their meeting is recognized on the Dolby Conference Phone (Dolby Voice). Their meeting is also shown on the TV screen within the meeting room so that other people can see who will be using the room. On entering the room, the user simply touches the Join button next to their meeting on the Dolby Conference Phone (Dolby Voice), normally in the middle of the table, and within a few seconds, the meeting room has joined the video conference meeting.
