Has anyone tried the Logitech RoomMate yet?  I just got one in to test.

At first I was under the impression that it would only work with Logi devices, but that doesn't seem to be true.  I got it to work with a Neat Tablet and also a VCGear tablet, and I also plugged in both a Jabra Speak 810 and a Logi Meetup.  Everything worked.

I will first get one bad thing out of the way--the remote that comes with it kind of sucks.  It seems to have trouble connecting sometimes and the buttons are kinda mushy.  I wish the quality were comparable to the MeetUp's amazing remote.  Although it is impressive that this remote can be used to control cameras plugged into the RoomMate.

Besides that, it seems pretty great.  It's only $1000, and then you also need to purchase a controller tablet and a camera/mic/speaker.  If you get the VCGear tablet and a Logi Meetup, that's only $2000 altogether, for a pretty high quality system.  Considering that companies like Neat, Yealink, Poly, and DTEN have just raised the prices on most of their Zoom Rooms offerings (eg Neat Bar is now $3000, Yealink A30 is now $2700), this seems a pretty great deal.

I would greatly prefer something like the Neat Bar where there's only two moving parts and no need for external USB devices.  But since the Neat Bar is $500 more expensive now, I've already had two of my office directors decline to get one since apparently it's too rich for their blood.  So I'm considering offering the RoomMate, MeetUp, and VCGear tablet as a cheaper, yet nearly equal in quality, alternative.

We recently hosted a global event, some participants were in parts of the world where connections were a problem. Repeatedly we have participants in open break out rooms then lose connection and have to log back in. How can I send them back to the breakout room from the main room while rooms are open? I have been moving their name from one room to another and back to get the invite to pop up for them upon re-entry.... I have to believe there is a better way than bombarding them with invites? Help! I have googled endlessly and no one else has listed this issue or provided insight. TYIA!

Does anyone know if you can broadcast from the Main session into all breakout rooms at once?  During our healthcare simulation sessions we need to give timing updates to four breakout rooms.  Currently I have to join each separate room to impart info to participants.  Sure would like to just send an audio message that all paerticipants would receive.

We would like to have a "room like" which will be active all day where employees can join and work together without the need to create a meeting that takes a single user account since if this user has another meeting in parallel to act as a host, it is impossible for him.
What would be the best solution? Zoom room license? or Zoom event?
