Huddly Crew ushers in a new era of AI in AV
With numerous live demonstrations scheduled at Enterprise Connect, Huddly Crew is expected to make a big impact at the event, sparking interest in AI-directed multi-camera technology. For the first time, Huddly also has a booth on the show floor, where they will showcase their intelligent camera innovations.
Daniel Johansson, Huddly's Chief Commercial Officer, said, "We're thrilled to showcase Huddly Crew in Orlando and witness the excitement from our US customers and partners firsthand. The product has already received tremendous feedback for its ability to bring the production values of TV to everyday video meetings, underscoring its transformative potential in the collaboration industry."
Having made collaboration a cornerstone of their success strategy, Huddly have forged long-lasting partnerships with leading companies such as Shure. At Enterprise Connect, the powerful combination of Huddly's Crew and Shure's Stem bundle is showcased in action, demonstrating their seamless integration and exceptional performance.

Huddly Crew is designed to empower collaboration for businesses wanting to excel in a hybrid workplace. Its embedded AI director ensures compatibility with popular collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet. The flexible hardware adapts to different spaces, while upgradable software meets the changing needs of the modern workplace.
New four-pane Gallery View and Huddly ONE room kit boost meeting equity
In further news, Huddly announced a major software update to their Huddly IQ camera, enabling smart framing with Gallery View for up to four people. Gallery View is one of Huddly's smart framing experiences for small and medium spaces. It employs a split-screen layout, allocating individual panes to each participant to ensure equal representation, with the camera dynamically adjusting zoom levels and framing. The update is available via free download for all Huddly IQ users.
Lastly, Huddly introduced a new room kit for Huddly ONE, replacing the now end-of-life Huddly GO. Perfect for small meeting spaces, Huddly ONE ensures everyone is seen with a 4K wide-angle lens, smart lighting adjustment, and USB plug-and-play functionality. It is certified for both Microsoft Teams and compatible with all collaboration platforms, offering an affordable option for Full-HD video conferencing.
"At Huddly, our goal is to deliver sustainable video technology that enhances meeting equity without the need for frequent changes to your AV setup," said Johansson. "These latest upgrades are proof of our commitment to sustainable innovation with a focus on which benefits both new and existing users of our cameras."
A core of innovation and collaboration
Their sustained commitment to collaboration and innovation has powered Huddly's success in the AV market. This accomplishment was recently confirmed by the Financial Times FT1000 list, which ranked Huddly as number eight among the media and telecoms category of Europe's fastest-growing companies.
"Our presence here on the floor at Enterprise Connect really confirms the fact that Huddly has grown into a player to be reckoned with, and we expect to meet new partners and secure new alliances in the next couple of days," Johansson said.
