The Jabra PanaCast 40 VBS is an Android 13 all-in-one video bar designed for small meeting rooms and huddle spaces where a self-contained room system is preferred over BYOD. Running natively on Android, it hosts Microsoft Teams or Zoom Rooms without requiring a connected laptop — participants join meetings directly from the room controller.
The 4K AI camera delivers wide-angle coverage for rooms up to six people, with AI-powered features including Dynamic Composition, Virtual Director, Intelligent Zoom, and Intelligent Meeting Space providing automatic framing and speaker tracking. Built-in beamforming microphones and speakers handle audio without additional peripherals.
Built on the Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform (MDEP) for enterprise security, the PanaCast 40 VBS includes the Jabra Control IP touchscreen controller and wall mount for a complete room installation. From box to first meeting in under 12 minutes based on Jabra’s internal testing — relevant for IT teams deploying across multiple sites.
- Android 13 native room system — runs Microsoft Teams or Zoom Rooms natively without a connected laptop; participants join meetings directly from the Jabra Control IP touchscreen.
- 4K AI camera with intelligent framing — Dynamic Composition, Virtual Director, and Intelligent Zoom keep participants in frame and highlight active speakers automatically.
- Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform (MDEP) — enterprise-grade security framework ensures the device meets corporate security requirements and receives ongoing security updates.

One-touch meeting join via Control IP
The included Jabra Control IP touchscreen controller provides one-touch access to Teams and Zoom meetings, content sharing controls, and room status — without requiring a separate tablet or PC-based controller.
Box to meeting in under 12 minutes
Jabra’s internal testing confirms the PanaCast 40 VBS can be wall-mounted, cabled, and ready for its first meeting in under 12 minutes — a significant factor for IT teams managing large-scale rollouts across multiple sites.
