Posted by Tom Brown on 28/03/2025
At AV Xpert, we specialise in the installation of video conferencing solutions for commercial meeting rooms and workspaces. In this blog, we will look at the Barco ClickShare Bar Pro, an all-in-one video bar designed to create engaging hybrid meetings, covering its key capabilities and how it can help small meeting rooms and huddle spaces run effective hybrid calls.
This device features advanced video and audio capabilities, providing high-quality communication to ensure both in-person and remote participants can collaborate effectively.
How the ClickShare Bar Pro Enables Hybrid Conferencing
The ClickShare Bar Pro is designed to enable engaging hybrid conferencing in small meeting rooms and huddle spaces via BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) connection. It works with Windows and Mac laptops and supports any video conferencing platform, giving you the flexibility to use your preferred software.
This state-of-the-art video conferencing bar comes with two ClickShare Buttons included. These elegant USB-C dongles allow users to connect from their laptops to the ClickShare Bar Pro quickly and easily, to run video conferencing calls and share content to the screen and video call.
The camera's 120-degree field of view is wide enough to capture everyone in a typical small meeting room without requiring manual adjustment, making setup straightforward for any user.
Advanced Video Capabilities
The ClickShare Bar Pro is equipped with an AI-powered 4K camera, delivering exceptional video quality throughout your meetings. With a wide 120-degree field of view (FOV), it captures the entire room, ensuring every participant is visible.
The intelligent camera system automatically tracks and frames the participants in the room, smoothly adjusting the focus as the meeting takes place. This ensures a more engaging and natural meeting experience, making remote attendees feel as if they are in the same room.
Multiple framing options are available, including group framing, speaker framing, and composition view, allowing users to adapt and find the best view to suit their meeting.
High-Quality Audio
Clear audio makes a real difference to meeting productivity, and the ClickShare Bar Pro delivers outstanding sound quality. Its integrated stereo speakers deliver rich, natural sound, making remote voices feel as if they are in the room. The device features six beamforming MEMS microphones, designed to capture in-room voices whilst minimising background noise and echo. This ensures that every in-room participant is heard with clarity by remote attendees. The combination of these microphones with the stereo speakers creates a balanced meeting experience where remote and in-room voices are equally present and clear.
Interactive Features for Enhanced Collaboration
Beyond its audio and video capabilities, the ClickShare Bar Pro offers a variety of interactive features designed to help with collaboration and engagement. Functions such as touchback, annotation, and blackboarding allow participants to interact directly with shared content, allowing for more dynamic meetings.
Barco ClickShare Bar Pro - Summary
The ClickShare Bar Pro is a comprehensive all-in-one video conferencing solution designed for small meeting rooms and huddle spaces. Its 4K camera with 120-degree field of view, six beamforming microphones, and intelligent framing create an immersive meeting experience where both in-person and remote participants can collaborate effectively.
As it does not support expansion microphones, if you are looking to accommodate larger meeting spaces, you would need a separate video conferencing setup and ClickShare Conference device to achieve the same results.
For organisations needing greater flexibility across multiple room sizes, Barco's modular ClickShare Hub offers a Microsoft Teams Rooms system where you select each peripheral to match your space.
