Logitech MeetUp vs GROUP: which to buy?
Logitech MeetUp vs Logitech GROUP: room size, platforms, camera, mics and price compared, plus which to buy.

Short answer: pick the MeetUp if you want the one that costs $415 less and is sized for smaller rooms, so you don't pay for range you won't use. Pick the GROUP if you want the one that covers bigger rooms (up to large rooms) and picks up voices farther away (20 ft vs 13 ft).

Both are Teams and Zoom certified USB devices; the difference is camera and audio.

Which should you buy?

  • Choose the MeetUp if you want the one that costs $415 less, is sized for smaller rooms, so you don't pay for range you won't use and has the wider field of view (113° vs 82° horizontal), better when people sit close to the screen. Best for huddle and small rooms, with Teams, Zoom and BYOD/USB. See the MeetUp
  • Choose the GROUP if you want the one that covers bigger rooms (up to large rooms) and picks up voices farther away (20 ft vs 13 ft). Best for medium and large rooms, with Teams, Zoom and BYOD/USB. See the GROUP
