What is the Desk?
The Cisco Desk is a 24" 1080p touch device for Webex calling and meetings at a personal desk. It has a built-in 8 MP camera with privacy shutter, a four-mic array and a center speaker.
Plug in a laptop over USB-C and it becomes the laptop's monitor, camera and speakerphone for any meeting app. On its own it runs Cisco RoomOS with Webex.
Choose the Desk Pro G2 instead if you need native Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom, a 4K screen or a better camera.
Who the Desk is for
- Good fit: focus rooms; rooms that standardize on Webex and want one-touch join without a PC.
- Skip it for: rooms bigger than focus: look at the Board 32; choose the Desk Pro G2 instead if you need native Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom, a 4K screen or a better camera.
