Zoom for Home - DTEN ME is the first device under the programme, offering a 27-inch device with three built-in wide-angle cameras for high-resolution video, an 8-microphone array for high-quality sound and a touch display for screen sharing and whiteboarding. It works with any Zoom Meeting licence and will ship from August for USD 599.   

Zoom for Home is also compatible with all Zoom Rooms Appliances, including other hardware from Neat and Poly. The new device is available to pre-order now.
