The original supported multiple video resolutions, from HD (720p) up to Ultra HD (4K, or 2160p), 120° field-of-view (FOV) without any fisheye lens distortion but with motorised pan/tilt, and three beamforming omnidirectional microphones with noise and echo cancellation built in. The new Logitech MeetUp 2 is similar in design to its predecessor in that it has a central lens flanked by speakers on either side. It comes with a 4K camera that provides 120-degree field of view (FoV), up to a 4X zoom, supports digital pan and tilt, and RightSight 2 (Logitech’s AI framing solution).

MeetUp 2 works with popular video conferencing platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet. When MeetUp 2 is not in use for a video meeting, the display in the room can be used to display digital signage like a company logo or any information that IT wants to share, as long as the company is using Logitech Sync.
