Logitech Solutions for Zoom Rooms support Alexa for Business with the Logitech Tap controller, Mini PC, and a Zoom Certified Logitech Rally or MeetUp conferencecam. IT admins can simply download the Alexa for Business client to their Mini PC, and with just a few clicks, they can enable Alexa for their meeting room. Once installed, the microphone on any Logitech Solution for Zoom Room can detect Alexa voice commands and perform the requested action. Use commands like, “Alexa, start the meeting,” to enable your conference camera and begin your Zoom meeting even faster. Once the wake word is detected, a tone will play and a blue bar will display on the TV, letting users know when Alexa is engaged in receiving or sending audio.
“We are delighted to collaborate with Logitech and Zoom to introduce hands-free voice control to their industry leading room solution,” said Collin Davis, General Manager for Alexa for Business, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “Customers love using Alexa for Business to voice enable meeting rooms, and by integrating directly with Zoom Rooms, Alexa for Business has never been easier to deploy. Together we are delivering an end to end solution that will enable enterprises to be voice-first.”
