Video conferencing technology specialists AVer Information announced that it is expanding its portfolio of solutions to include the new AVer VB342 soundbar. The integrated design is an all-in-one USB camera/audio solution, combining all audio and video signals suited for meeting/huddle spaces with up to seven attendees. The soundbar format is viewed as an ideal approach to modern huddle rooms, so why not integrating also the camera in a single system?
