Key features and benefits

Seamless connection

The EXPAND Capture 5 works seamlessly with any MTR system on Windows, whether that’s HP, Dell, Logitech, or otherwise.

Advanced voice recognition

With the capability to recognise 10 distinct voices in small to medium sized meeting rooms, the handy speaker makes online calls completely effortless. This is achieved through Microsoft Teams Client which can determine who said what with easy voice recognition set-up. So, everybody can see the name, location, and photo of the speaker during a call.

Cortana voice assistance

For next-level ease of use, this futuristic speaker was designed with Cortana in mind. The clever voice assistant enables meeting attendees to start and end the meeting and add participants completely handsfree. This undeniably results in greater productivity.

LED indicators

Confusing call experiences can lead to unnecessary disruption which not only looks unprofessional but could tarnish an organisation’s reputation. Luckily, the EXPAND Capture 5 has clear LED indicators to distinguish between mute and active calls and indicate when Cortana is live.

Easy implementation

The speaker is extremely simple to operate for both IT managers and users. So, the device can quickly and easily be implemented into any working environment with zero hassle.
