Product Overview
The Bose Videobar VB1 is an all-in-one USB conferencing device that brings premium audio and video to small meeting areas — from huddle spaces to medium-sized rooms. Be seen clearly. Be heard and understood fully. Six beam-steering microphones automatically focus on voices in the room and reject noise. A 4K ultra-HD camera with autoframing delivers crystal-clear video, helping remote participants feel like they’re in the room. Proprietary Bose sound supports multimedia presentations, plays Bluetooth® audio, and ensures voices on the call sound natural. Single-cable connectivity means there’s no need for separate audio and video cables at the table, reducing clutter. Whether it’s a quick morning check-in or a fullafternoon workshop, the Bose Videobar VB1 helps you huddle up, see more, hear more, and work better.
