Webex Board Pro is an all-in-one device that provides everything you need for hybrid teamwork: it brings your local and remote teams together to collaborate in a connected digital workspace. Recognized in the 2022 Red Dot Design Awards as “Best of the Best” in product design, and in the 2022 UC Awards as “Best Meeting Room Product” of the year, Board Pro is a purpose-built solution combining premium visual collaboration, video conferencing, ideation, and co-creation, allowing your teams to join video-first meetings, digitally whiteboard, wirelessly present, and share content.
Better still, it allows you to seamlessly connect with any third-party meeting service and use your go-to productivity tools to let your teams brainstorm, collaborate, and share ideas in one integrated and fluid workflow. Featuring stunning video, built-in AI, a capacitive touch screen and spatial audio, the Webex Board Pro is designed for collaboration spaces of all sizes, including boardrooms, classrooms, open studios, huddle spaces, and conference rooms.
Content sharing in a video meeting using the wall-mount Board Pro 55
In the hybrid workplace, teams need to work together both in the physical workplace and virtually, just as if everyone were in the same room. Webex Board Pro was designed to enable the future of work by giving your workforce the power to communicate, create, collaborate, and capture ideas with a connected collaboration device that extends beyond the boundaries of the meeting room. Board Pro revolutionizes the way we work by combining key requirements for team collaboration and conferencing and connecting it to the cloud for frictionless meeting experiences and workflows. It’s a digital canvas, a video-first conferencing system, and a wireless presentation screen that allows your teams to draw, annotate, share, meet, and ideate, all in a single, beautifully designed device.

Available in 55-inch and 75-inch models, the Webex Board Pro helps your teams collaborate in a variety of meeting spaces and connect with remote members to become more productive. The Board Pro draws its power from the Webex platform, runs on RoomOS, and is fully optimized for Webex for the best collaboration experience.
At the same time, the Board Pro brings you optionality by seamlessly working together with your most common third-party meeting apps and productivity tools without the need to switch between devices and solutions. It can securely work with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and other external meeting solutions with the same best-of-breed experience via one-button-to-push web apps powered by unparalleled interoperability behind the scenes to take the stress out of getting connected. More exclusively, it allows you to effortlessly pair your laptop with Webex Board Pro, extending your portable device into a large studio and bringing your go-to applications to life on an intuitive touchscreen display while leveraging advanced room, camera, and collaboration intelligence.
The solution securely connects to your virtual teams through the Webex cloud service, via your Webex App or Webex App-enabled devices, so you can create a truly integrated and seamless collaboration environment. Register the touch board, either on your premises or to the Webex cloud service to store everything created on the Board Pro directly in the cloud. You can then associate it to a virtual Webex App space so your team can stay connected and get work done anywhere.

Webex Board Pro features and benefits
The Webex Board Pro is a fully self-contained system on a high-resolution 4K LED screen. With built-in, dual 4K cameras, embedded microphone array, and a capacitive touch interface, the board brings intelligence, style, and usability to small-to-large meeting rooms.
Webex Board Pro was built to power hybrid teamwork: high-quality, AI-powered meetings, consistent experiences, open integrations, and unified management were added to transform meeting spaces of all sizes in a simple way. With the Board Pro, your team can experience smart meetings, best-of-breed visual collaboration, and robust room, device, and software integrations. This level of feature innovation and premium experience can now be brought to every room and every team with a single, integrated unit. It is a purpose-built device that seamlessly supports:
● Real-time video collaboration – Unlike other collaboration displays, the Board Pro is designed to deliver a face-to-face experience that rivals in-person meetings. With high-quality video and audio, it turns your sessions into premium video conferencing to build connection and digital proximity among dispersed teams.
● Visual collaboration – Empower your teams to generate ideas or problem-solve. The digital whiteboard lets teams brainstorm, draw, use stickies, and annotate in a freeform fashion on an infinite canvas. Use two dedicated stylus and touch-based pinch and zoom for details and precision.
● Continuous collaboration - Every session is stored in a Webex space so you never lose an idea. Work can continue across time zones and teams can add to it any time. Share ideas and collaborate across distances without the fear of losing your work.
● Local collaboration – Pair the device with your laptop, share wirelessly, and annotate on any content. Go from ideate, to create, to iterate—using one capacitive touchscreen.
● Agile workflows - Agile teams can quickly access their preferred project management apps and collaboration tools through integrated web apps and draw, annotate, or share ideas seamlessly.
● Hybrid education – Teachers can instruct in-room and remote students with the digital whiteboard, where files are saved and can be shared with the entire class after the session. Bring in experts from around the world to share their knowledge with students.
● Digital signage – Webex Board Pro allows you to show custom content with the aim to provide information that is important to the workforce and guests, including upcoming town hall dates, company calendars, safety guidelines, and critical alerts in open spaces, hallways, and lobby areas.

Microphone and loudspeaker system
|
● 12-element beamforming microphone array for crystal clear speech pickup and speaker tracking
Note: The internal microphone array is optimized for a distance of up to 6 meters (20 ft) from the device in small and medium-sized meeting rooms and collaboration spaces. In mid-sized meeting rooms beyond the aforementioned range from the device, we recommend to extend audio pickup by adding external table or ceiling microphones to ensure the best audio experience. Please note that room acoustics and background noise level also impact the speech pickup distance and quality in the meeting space. Consult Cisco Project Workplace for guidance on best practices.
● Multi-channel loudspeaker system with high-quality full-range drivers and separate force-cancelling woofers
● Loudspeaker system frequency response: 75 Hz to 20 kHz [+/- 3dB]
● Max Output Sound Pressure Level: 94dB
|
Speaker tracking
|
Built-in microphone array for sophisticated speaker tracking
● Best overview functionality auto-detects people in the room and frames them for the best group view. When someone starts to talk, the system uses audio triangulation to detect the active speaker and selects the best framing to show an optimized, prominent view of the speaker
● For an optimal speaker tracking experience for people joining remotely, it is recommended that the furthest in-room participant is located within less than 6 meters from the video device. Please note that the best overview (automatic group framing) camera mode is able to support an extended distance from the Board Pro.
