Jabra has announced the launch of the PanaCast 40 VBS, the only Android-powered video bar designed specifically for small meeting rooms. With a 180° field of view (FoV), advanced audio capabilities, and an intuitive design, the PanaCast 40 VBS brings enterprise-grade video collaboration to spaces that have often been overlooked.
As organizations continue transitioning to hybrid work, the demand for effective small-room video solutions has surged. Many of these huddle spaces and phone booths are either unequipped or ill-suited for seamless collaboration, leaving them underutilized.
Traditional solutions often fail to capture participants seated closer to the screen, creating unbalanced experiences that exclude voices and faces.
The PanaCast 40 VBS addresses these challenges with an all-in-one solution that transforms small spaces into high-performing collaboration hubs.
Its dual-camera system delivers a seamless 180° FoV through advanced stitching technology, ensuring full coverage of every participant.
The device’s audio performance is powered by GN Group’s unique sound processing expertise, offering:
- Six adaptive beamforming microphones
- Intelligent audio algorithms for crystal-clear pickup
- A high-quality speaker delivering natural and engaging sound
The result is a more inclusive meeting experience, ensuring both in-room and remote participants are equally seen and heard.
- The PanaCast 40 VBS is built with flexibility in mind, offering:
- Compatibility with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and BYOD setups
- MDEP (Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform) foundation for strengthened security
- Optional accessories such as a touch controller and detachable faceplate for easy cleaning
- Intelligent Meeting Space features to define virtual meeting boundaries, perfect for open-plan or glass-walled offices
It is also fully integrated with Jabra+ software for continuous updates and is backed by Jabra Warranty+, ensuring long-term reliability.
Rayson Seow, Country Manager, Enterprise, Singapore, noted:
Small rooms, phone booths and huddle spaces are a cornerstone of today’s modern workplace, yet they’ve often been overlooked by traditional video solutions.
With the PanaCast 40 VBS, we’re addressing this gap by delivering a flexible, intuitive, and future-proof Android solution that empowers teams to collaborate seamlessly, regardless of room size or platform preference.
The Jabra PanaCast 40 VBS will be available from August 2025 in the following configurations:
PanaCast 40 VBS Bar Only – MSRP: SGD 2,206

With the launch of the PanaCast 40 VBS, Jabra is redefining what’s possible in small meeting rooms, ensuring these spaces are no longer left behind in the hybrid workplace revolution.
