“Most room solutions are great and have made strides in becoming
easier to use, but it’s often difficult to join meetings with any
video service you want,” said Scott Wharton, vice president and
general manager of Logitech Video Collaboration. “For video to
become ubiquitous, joining video calls with different platforms
needs to become as easy as making a telephone call. With Swytch,
we’re taking it a step beyond ‘making every room a meeting room’
and enabling a native experience in conference rooms that anyone
can use and enjoy.”
Swytch, a compact, one-cable laptop link, enables you to use
your laptop to run meetings with any video conferencing platform,
webinar or streaming software. With Swytch, joining video services
is seamless, especially if you’re transitioning to modern platforms
like Zoom or Teams from legacy services. Just plug-in the Swytch
USB connector to your laptop to quickly get high quality, native
support of almost any external video meeting service, regardless of
what your room standard is. Once the meeting is finished, unplug
Swytch from the laptop to leave the room ready for the next video
meeting.
Swytch also offers a number of features that improve the video
conferencing experience, such as:
- Bring your own meeting (BYOM) to any room: Use Swytch in
a room with Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms to connect a laptop
to the room’s display, camera and audio devices for meetings hosted
on other services.
- One cable, one connection: Swytch consolidates HDMI and
USB into one cable to project your screen from a laptop on the
room’s display at resolutions up to 4K with crisp, clear audio. You
no longer need to rely on dongles, splitters, or HDMI
adaptors.
- Universal compatibility: Swytch works with laptops using
USB 3.0 or higher with Type A or Type C and DisplayLink drivers,
including Windows® 10 laptop, MacBook®, or Chromebook.
- Laptop charging: Never run out of battery power during a
video meeting. Swytch provides up to 60W of power for laptops that
charge via USB-C.
- Device management: Compatibility with Logitech Sync
makes it easy for IT to monitor and manage Swytch together with
other meeting room devices, including Logitech MeetUp, Rally, and
Tap. Plus, the Sync software is free.
- Clean Install: Swytch integrates beautifully with
existing meeting rooms via a magnetic mount, which keeps the
tabletop clean and organized, with no cords or extraneous
accessories exposed.
Pricing and Availability
Logitech Swytch will be available for purchase globally starting
later this month. Pricing starts at $999 and varies by country. For
