Small meetings should be simple. Yet, in many workplaces, they’re anything but a cramped room. A camera that only captures half the team. Voices that echo or fade out. Add tangled cables and mismatched gear, and even a quick catch-up becomes hard work.
These issues are common in small rooms and desk-based setups. Unfortunately, they often leave remote participants feeling disconnected. Over time, that frustration affects engagement, decision-making, and productivity.
At Bluechip IT, we work closely with resellers supporting organisations that are rethinking how they meet and collaborate. As a distributor of Neat solutions, we see firsthand how the right workplace technology can remove friction rather than add to it.
This article explores five practical ways Neat Board 32 improves collaboration for small teams, huddle rooms, and personal workspaces. More importantly, it explains why this device fits naturally into today’s modern workspace and why partners are increasingly recommending it.
Why Small-Space Collaboration Needs a Rethink
Hybrid work is no longer an experiment. It’s the norm. According to Microsoft’s 2023 Work Trend Index, 73% of employees want flexible remote work options, while 85% of leaders say hybrid work makes collaboration harder.
This tension shows up most clearly in small spaces. Large boardrooms often receive the best technology. Meanwhile, focus rooms, phone booths, and shared desks are left with basic webcams and poor audio.
As a result, small teams struggle to collaborate effectively. Meetings feel unbalanced. Remote staff miss visual cues. In-room participants repeat themselves. Over time, teams disengage.
That’s where purpose-built solutions matter. Neat Board 32 was designed specifically for these environments, rather than scaled down from large-room hardware.
Clear Visibility, Even in Tight Spaces
In small rooms, visibility is everything. If people can’t be seen properly, they can’t participate fully.
Neat Board 32 features a 32-inch 4K anti-glare touchscreen, which is ideal for close-up viewing. Unlike smaller displays, it allows shared content, faces, and annotations to remain clear without crowding around the screen.
Just as importantly, the 140-degree wide-angle camera captures everyone in the room. Even when participants sit off to the side, they remain visible. There’s no need to shuffle chairs or squeeze together.
The device also uses intelligent auto-framing. This keeps participants naturally centred as they move. As a result, meetings feel more balanced and less staged.
For resellers, this is an easy win. Customers upgrading from basic webcams immediately notice the difference.
Audio That Sounds Natural, Not Mechanical
Poor audio is one of the fastest ways to derail a meeting. In small spaces, echoes and background noise are common.
Neat Board 32 includes four beamforming microphones designed specifically for compact environments. These microphones focus on voices while reducing surrounding noise.
That means fewer interruptions. Fewer “Can you repeat that?” moments. And fewer distractions for remote attendees.
Because the microphones are built in, there’s no need for extra hardware. This simplifies setup and reduces clutter, which is often a major concern in small rooms.
For partners offering neat conferencing solutions, audio quality is often the deciding factor. When meetings sound natural, people stay engaged.
Visual Collaboration That Feels Effortless
Not every meeting is about conversation alone. Many teams need to sketch ideas, review documents, or brainstorm together.
Neat Board 32 supports direct, touch-based annotation. Team members can draw, write, and mark up content in real time. Remote participants see these changes instantly.
This encourages more interactive meetings. Instead of one person sharing a screen, everyone can contribute visually.
Design reviews, planning sessions, and agile stand-ups become more dynamic. At the same time, teams rely less on external whiteboards or separate tools.
As a result, collaboration feels more inclusive. Everyone stays involved, regardless of location.

Simple SetupWithMinimal IT Involvement
Complex meeting rooms often fail because they’re hard to use. Small teams rarely have time for troubleshooting.
Neat Board 32 avoids this problem through an all-in-one design. Camera, microphones, speakers, and a display are built into one device.
Setup is straightforward. Users can connect via USB-C and start working immediately. This makes it ideal for BYOD environments and hot desks.
Because there are fewer components, there are fewer points of failure. IT teams spend less time supporting meetings. End users feel more confident using the technology.
For distributors and resellers, this simplicity shortens deployment time and reduces ongoing support demands.
Designed for Modern Workspace Flexibility
Workspaces no longer follow a single layout. Teams move between desks, focus rooms, and shared areas throughout the day.
Neat Board 32 adapts easily. It works well in:
- Small meeting rooms
- Phone booths
- Hot-desking zones
- Personal offices
It can also function as a personal 4K monitor and docking display, which adds value beyond meetings alone.
Multiple mounting options allow it to fit different workspace designs. This flexibility aligns well with modern workspace ideas that prioritise adaptability and space efficiency.
As organisations rethink how space is used, devices like Neat Board 32 become long-term investments rather than short-term fixes.
Why Channel Partners Are Paying Attention
From a partner perspective, Neat Board 32 fills an important gap. It complements larger, neat video conferencing systems without competing with them.
Demand for compact collaboration tools continues to grow. Customers want solutions that work straight away and scale easily.
Neat’s centralised device management also helps. IT teams can monitor and update devices remotely, which improves long-term reliability.
For resellers, this means selling a complete workplace technology solution, not just a screen or camera.
Small Teams Deserve Better Tools
Small spaces shouldn’t limit collaboration. Yet, too often, they do.
Neat Board 32 removes common pain points by improving visibility, audio clarity, and interaction. It simplifies setup while supporting flexible ways of working. Most importantly, it helps teams collaborate naturally, even in tight environments.
For organisations modernising their workplace, it’s a practical and effective solution. For partners, it’s an opportunity to deliver real value where it’s needed most.
