Zoom has partnered with HP and office pod firm ROOM to create a “turnkey video collaboration suite for modern offices and workspaces”.
Room for Zoom is a modular booth with a 27-inch HP Collaboration G6 touchscreen device and Logitech Brio Ultra HD PRO business webcam, preinstalled with Zoom Rooms software.
The booth features adaptive furniture, accessory rails for personal belongings, a whiteboard, connected power sources, ventilation, and two LED light strips with remote dimming. It is also soundproofed with recycled plastic.
A single booth costs £15,495.
Phil Perry, Head of UK & Ireland at Zoom, said: “Architecture and location can be a source of stress during video calls: lighting, background noise and the chance someone could walk into the room during a conversation.
“ROOM worked with us to put together a product that removes those pain points while helping people in workplaces in the UK work more closely together, regardless of their location”
“We’re excited by this collaboration, and we’re looking forward to seeing Room for Zoom roll out across the UK in the coming months.”
ROOM launched in 2018 and claims to have 5,000 customers, including Nike, J.P Morgan, Google and Salesforce.
The partnership between Zoom, HP and ROOM was first launched in the US last year.
ROOM Co-Founder Morten Meisner-Jensen said: “We’ve teamed up with Zoom and HP to create a solution that allows employees in the workplace to seamlessly connect with their remote-based colleague.
“Our aim is not just about changing spaces – we want to rethink and redesign our relationship with work. Improving life for employees at work is now on the radar of CEOs and CFOs globally.
“This is why we have designed a space in which employee-centric software and modular architecture complement each other. Modular architecture makes workspace design affordable and flexible because it can grow with a company. It’s something that’s right for today but can also be reconfigured to evolve with the changing needs of a business tomorrow.”
