How to set up the Logitech Rally Board 65, from unboxing to a working test. It works two ways: as an appliance that runs Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms or another platform on the device itself, or in USB mode connected to a laptop or room PC, so it works with any meeting app.

What you need
- Ports on the Rally Board 65: Interfaces: HDMI out and HDMI in up to 4K60, 3 x USB-A 3.1, USB-C with DP Alt Mode; Network: 10/100/1G Ethernet, Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax, Bluetooth LE.
- For appliance mode: a wired Ethernet drop, a wall mount or stand rated for its weight, and a Teams, Zoom or Google Meet account and license for the room. A second screen is optional (HDMI out).
- For USB mode: a laptop or room PC with a free USB port that matches the included cable. Plug directly into the computer rather than through a hub where possible.

Step by step
-
Pick the wall or stand position. Put the camera at roughly seated eye level, keep the farthest seat within the 23 ft (7 m) audio pickup, and avoid a window behind the board. See Rally Board 65 mounting and placement.
-
Connect power and cables. Connect the power cord. Then connect the cables your setup needs (Interfaces: HDMI out and HDMI in up to 4K60, 3 x USB-A 3.1, USB-C with DP Alt Mode; Network: 10/100/1G Ethernet). Use the cables in the box first; long runs may need the manufacturer's extender.
-
Set up appliance mode. Connect the device to Ethernet (recommended) and a display, power on and follow the out-of-box screen on the TV. Then sign in to the chosen service (Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms or Google Meet) on the controller and optionally add the device to Logitech Sync Portal.
-
Set up USB mode. Connect the Rally Board 65 to the computer by USB. In Teams, Zoom or Meet, open the device settings and select the Rally Board 65 as the camera, microphone and speaker.
-
Update the firmware. Devices attached by USB to a room PC are updated with the Logitech Sync app (select the device, install the available update, reboot the host). See Updating the firmware below.
-
Run a test call. Join a test meeting, check framing from every seat, speak from the far end of the table, and have the remote side confirm they hear you clearly with no echo.
Updating the firmware
Devices attached by USB to a room PC are updated with the Logitech Sync app (select the device, install the available update, reboot the host). Do not unplug power.
Tools:
-
Logitech Sync Portal (cloud): inventory, remote settings, firmware updates and Local Network Access toggling for room devices
-
Local Network Access (LNA): on-device HTTPS web UI for CollabOS devices (CollabOS 1.6+)
-
CollabOS on-device system settings: reachable from the touch controller, remote or hardware button in appliance mode
-
Don't unplug power or USB while an update runs.
-
Close Teams, Zoom and other apps that use the device before updating it from a computer.
-
Update one room first, test a call, then roll out to the rest.
