The Most Integrated Video Window Experience Yet: Meet Neat
Neat’s beautifully designed, all-in-one video devices are the deepest hardware integration Video Window has ever offered — and the simplest way to deploy an always-on portal.
Video Window is the world’s first always-on video conferencing portal — a persistent, live connection between office locations that stays open throughout the working day. No logins, no meeting links, no scheduling. Teams in different offices simply walk up to their screen and tap to join the audio, making distributed work feel genuinely connected rather than transactional.
The experience has always worked with a wide range of hardware: any Windows or Mac computer paired with a touchscreen and USB webcam will do the job. But in September 2024, Video Window took a significant step forward, announcing a formal integration with Neat — and the result is the most streamlined deployment the platform has ever offered.
Who Is Neat?
Founded in Oslo, Norway, Neat is a video device company built around a deceptively simple idea: that technology for human connection should itself be beautifully designed, easy to use, and completely reliable. Their portfolio — the Neat Board, Neat Board 50, Neat Bar, Neat Bar Pro, Neat Board Pro, and Neat Frame — combines high-quality cameras, microphone arrays, speakers, and onboard compute into elegant all-in-one devices. There are no separate computers to procure, no tangled peripherals to manage.
Neat is trusted by some of the world’s most demanding organisations. Oracle Red Bull Racing chose Neat as its exclusive video conferencing hardware and innovation partner from the 2025 Formula One season, using Neat devices throughout the organisation — a testament to the standard of engineering the company brings.
The Integration: What It Means in Practice
Video Window is now available on the Neat App Hub, enabling seamless functionality with the Neat Board, Neat Board 50, and Neat Frame. Neat’s all-in-one hardware — camera, microphone, speakers, and compute — provides a streamlined setup that requires no additional computers, with everything fully managed via the Neat Pulse platform.
For IT teams, this is a significant simplification. Rather than sourcing a display, a PC, a webcam, and a microphone separately — and managing software updates across all of them — a Neat device running Video Window through the App Hub is a single, managed unit. Neat Pulse handles remote monitoring, updates, and configuration centrally, across as many devices and sites as needed.
Video Window’s CEO, Daryl Hutchings, put it plainly at the time of the announcement: “Neat devices make our solution even more robust, offering clients a streamlined experience for managing hybrid work environments without the need for complex hardware setups. The combination of Neat’s beautiful design and our always-on video conferencing portal software is a game-changer for hybrid teams.”
The Right Device for the Right Space
The integration covers several Neat devices, each suited to a different use case.
The Neat Board and Neat Board 50 are the natural choices for office common areas — the corridors, kitchens, and open-plan spaces where Video Window lives. Their all-in-one form factor, combined with Neat’s wheeled mobile stands, means they can be positioned anywhere in a space without routing cables through walls. Moving a Video Window portal from one location to another is as simple as wheeling the stand.
The Neat Frame opens up a different set of possibilities. Its portrait orientation makes it particularly suited to virtual reception desks, IT helpdesk kiosks, and connecting remote employees to office common areas via Video Window Remote. A Neat Frame at a remote employee’s home or desk creates a persistent, always-on window back to the office — making hybrid working feel less like logging into a call and more like genuinely sharing a space.
A Natural Partnership
Neat and Video Window share a design philosophy: that the technology enabling human connection should get out of the way and let the connection happen. Neat devices are known for their minimalist aesthetic and their insistence on simplicity. Video Window is built on the premise that hybrid work should feel ambient and natural, not scheduled and managed.
Together, they represent the simplest, most polished way to deploy an always-on portal between offices — and the most integrated Video Window experience available on any hardware today.
