rAVe Unified Communications Edition

Hi #AVtweeps! Are you ready for a fantastic weekend? I know I am. This is my favorite time of year. I love the chill in the air, a horror movie or 87 and pumpkin spiced everything I can get my hands on. But before we slam our laptops shut for the weekend, let’s take a walk down immersive video call lane.

There are two star players in the battle for the perfect immersive video call. One is Project Starline, the other is Logitech Ghost. There are some pluses and minuses to both, but which do you prefer? Read Gary Kayye’s latest article and don’t forget to answer the poll at the end!

Also, Clara Mello wrote a great wrap-up of the latest updates for Microsoft Copilot — FYI it supports 11 more languages now! Read more and get a full list of August 2024 updates here.
