Video Bar

A video bar is the most common solution for Australian meeting rooms because it removes the complexity of a separate camera, speaker and microphone from the equation. One device, one cable to the display, one thing to manage and one thing to replace if something goes wrong. For most rooms of 1–10 people, a video bar is both the simplest and the most cost-effective path to a working video conferencing setup.

Video bars split broadly into three tiers by room size. Compact models handle small rooms and huddle spaces for 2–4 people with minimal fuss. Mid-range bars with auto-framing and AI director features suit medium rooms of 5–10 people well. Full room kits — a bar paired with a touch controller, expansion microphones and sometimes a separate compute module — cover larger spaces where the bar alone cannot reach every seat at the table.

Platform certification matters before you buy. Most video bars in this range carry Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms certification — but not always both, and not always at the same feature tier. A certified bar joins meetings with one touch, appears in your admin console and supports the management features your licence already pays for. An uncertified bar may connect to a call but behaves like a peripheral, not a room system. Filter by platform below or use the links to browse certified models directly.

BYOD video bars — USB models with no platform licence required — are the right answer when your team needs a simple plug-in solution that works from any laptop regardless of platform. They are the most flexible option for rooms that host guests, external meetings or teams that haven't standardised on a single platform. Filter for BYOD below if that describes your situation.
