Best video I found on youtube about the logitech MEETUP and TAP kit, the manufacturer should pay you to promote her products

Looking at getting this system in our workplace, thank you so much for putting this demo together so I can look like an expert when I set one up for the first time!

Excellent video. Looking at building this setup in my home office now that I’m a full time work from home guy and looking to do consulting work and training.

Thanks for the video Josh, you provide a decent overview of the set up process: I would not have known about that 'secret compartment' access to the cable connection!

Thank you josh for Awesome explanation

Hello! Awesome series of Videos around Logitech devices and MTR. One questions: In this particular setup you are using a generic Intel NUC and not an OEM solution for the MTR computer like the ones you buy from Dell and Lenovo. How can we get the Windows IoT license and ISO to deploy the MTR on the NUC like you did? I don't see on any of your videos how to actually "build" the NUC. Thanks!

Great video for setup! My question in on application. I'm using Teams at work and I've got this all set up for that and it's working. What adjustment do I need to make now that my company has also started using WebEx and wants to use this equipment?

Another thing that's really important to point out. Is just how thin the USB-C cable is compared to previous solutions. Getting these routed through the floor/wall is MUCH easier than previous Surface based solutions. You can also wall mount the TAP panel. It will turn the logitech logo off so it doesn't look silly.

Hi, your explanation is great , I have a question once we connect the HDMI cable through the touch panel to share the desktop, the audio will also be there or only the display, because in my setup i am unable to receive the audio when i am playing the video., but if i connect direct HDMI cable direct to the rally bar there is a audio please advise

Hoping to get some help with our current deployment. We procured a Logitech Rally bar & Tap (non-ip). Do we have to purchase the NUC as well, or can the rally bar and tap work together without it?

Hi Josh, thank you for your time to create this video. I have two questions to ask if you don't mind. Does the NUC come with licensed Windows 10? Would you be able to create another short video clip on how to create Teams Room account? Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for the interesting video. i've got two question to this system: - If I want to share my laptop on the big screen without being in a Teams Conference Call. Can I use the HDMI Cable from the Tap as well or do I need to have a separate cable? - You just plugged everything and then just started up the NUC.

Great video, but I'm confused as to the benefits of such a system compared to what we have now. We currently have a large screen with a (cheap) webcam connected to a Dell Optiplex Micro. The user logs into the computer within the meeting room (which is running Ms Teams). They get their desktop and access to all their files (which they can share via the teams app if they wish). The meeting appears in their teams calendar and they click to join the meeting. That's basically it. Meetup seems to require a Laptop in addition to the NUC (plus an extra O365 license for the room).

Yeah, I'm confused as well. Soon as I saw him have to specify a user account when setting up the logitech tap alarm bells started ringing. Don't understand the system. Say your company has two meetings room, and 10 managers all who use teams....what then? It seems to me you need a dedicated pc in each meeting room, but everyone has their own laptops with all their documents and meetings setup in their outlook calendars. Which account sets up the meeting? The person hosting the meeting, or the accout signed into the tap? Very confusing.

Hi there Josh, thank you so much for the amazing content, I’m really convinced to buy the Meetup now, but I have couple of questions: 1- what is the benefit of the NUC? Cant i just connect the tap to the logitech meetup and have the meeting there since the account is already logged in in the tap? Or is it just like a hub to add more connectivity ? Doesn’t the tap has wifi already? 2- I’m planing to buy a Bluetooth mic , will that be able to connect to the tap? Your help is really appreciated Thank you so much,

Glad to hear about your interest in the Meetup and Tap, and glad this video was helpful! The Tap is not actually the "compute". The account is actually signed in the the Intel NUC, which is the compute in this scenario. The Tap is basic a center of room touch screen, optionally facilitating an HDMI ingest cable, but it does not actually sign into the Teams account; that is done on the NUC. I hope that helps clarify.

@@keptkozy hey man I found out. So good news is you can do it if you use the same hardware setup as before with the tap. To list it out for you. 1. Tap 2. NUC behind tv 3. Table hub (this is the unit under you conference room table and if you have microphones these hook into it (this is important) 4. Display hub goes behind the TV with your NUC and your NUC plugs into this device via hdmi and your rally or meet up camera plugs into this unit as well. So at the table side all you have to do is plug in a USB 3.0 Cable into your table hub and plug that into your laptop. This actually works better then the flex solution and you don't need the special hdmi adapter (which I was told they no longer make!) I got the rep to show this to me and it worked flawlessly. So much better then the dingle where in my experience you'd push the white button and sometimes it wouldn't pass all the devices through so the user would be impatient and push it again and again too quickly trying to get it to work.
