The all-in-one conference systems from Logitech

Since March 2020, many of us have been in our home offices. Thanks to modern webcams, conference cameras and video conferencing systems , countless online meetings and training sessions have taken place during this time. Along the way, manufacturers have worked diligently on innovations to make our work processes more pleasant and efficient. In the process, Logitech developed a solution that offers us a glimpse of how we will work in the future.
