Logitech introduces new gadgets that are intended to make remote working more efficient
After more than a year and a half of dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, it is safe to assume that remote working will be around for a while. The new normal workspace, wherever it may be, has prompted businesses to identify technological tools that will help employees manage their workloads more effectively.
Logitech strives to provide people with the tools they need to perform their jobs to the best of their abilities, no matter where they are. The company, which is focused on innovation and quality, creates products and experiences that have a place in people's everyday lives and are useful.
Theresa Relihan, Logitech Sub-Saharan Africa's Head of Marketing, says that:
"We recognize that deploying remote work solutions at scale are a new concept for many Nigerian businesses, and that it may take some time to perfect. We design each and every one of our products with the end user in mind. We are constantly concerned with how people connect and interact in the digital world, and we strive to provide an efficient, one-of-a-kind, and meaningful experience."
"Working long hours from home means that the products you use to support your workday must be productivity-efficient and produce high-quality results," she says in conclusion.
Here are some recommendations from Logitech, as well as supporting products, that will help you be more productive no matter where you are.
How to make a remote setup as effective as possible
In the case of webcams versus laptop cameras, the limitations of embedded cameras (in laptops) significantly reduce the benefits of video collaboration. Poor lighting, bad angles, and low resolution or clarity all contribute to the creation of problems. If the camera is not properly positioned, or if the user is in a dark room with a bright window behind them, or if there is a strong light on one side of the room, it may be difficult for other people to see them clearly.
It is critical that video technology be of high quality. If people have a negative experience when using video for meetings, they are more likely to either not attend or to be frustrated by the experience. If the visual and audio are clear, people can be seen easily, and the meeting feels like it is taking place in person, the meeting is considered successful.
A number of image-enhancing features will be included in a business-grade webcam to ensure that participants have a superior meeting experience. It is essential to be able to compensate for poor lighting conditions, which is one of the most important aspects.
Another advantage is the ability to adjust the field of view and position the camera at a more advantageous angle. When taking a picture, users can crop out distracting backgrounds, perfectly frame themselves, or even capture the entire scene if necessary. Integrations and certifications are two other considerations to take into account. Webcams that have been certified for use with video conferencing software help to ensure that meetings run smoothly.
In contrast to embedded cameras, which are subject to swings in quality (sometimes good, sometimes bad), professional webcams provide consistently excellent and highly predictable results.
Participating in meetings with a headset that is not optimized for business or using the built-in audio of a laptop can be problematic because laptop audio capabilities are often sub-par. Headsets are recommended for business meetings, while laptop audio capabilities are not. Noise-cancelling technology is often lacking in laptop audio, which makes it difficult for both the speaker and the listener to concentrate on what is being said.
For the second time, it has not been certified or optimized to work with video conferencing software from vendors such as Google, Microsoft, and Zoom, among others. Lastly, it does not include features such as a voice-level adjustment, which can assist users in appearing and sounding their best.
Noise-cancelling features to eliminate background noise and distractions, digital signal processing to make users' voices sound natural, and certifications with major video software platforms, as well as built-in functionality such as a mute button, are all common in headsets designed for the enterprise.
Wired vs wireless keyboards: A wired keyboard is preferable if the user does not want to deal with input lag, the possibility of interference, or battery life issues. A wireless keyboard, on the other hand, is the best option for users who want to be mobile and use their keyboard from a long distance.
