Choosing between the Logitech GROUP and the Logitech Rally Plus? Here's how they differ on room size, platforms, camera, audio and price, and which one fits your room.
Short answer: pick the GROUP if you want the one that costs $1,895 less and is sized for smaller rooms, so you don't pay for range you won't use. Pick the Rally Plus if you want the one that covers bigger rooms (up to boardrooms).
Both are Teams and Zoom certified USB room kits; the difference is camera and audio.
