What you need for a web conference

Advantage 1

■Join a meeting with just one tap!
It can read your Outlook calendar and display Zoom, Team, and Webex meeting schedules. If you stay logged in to Zoom, you can join a web conference with one tap.

Also, if you are using it in a stationary location such as a conference room, you can create a dedicated Outlook account and send your web conference schedule in advance to make things smoother.

Review the actual machine

This time I was able to borrow the actual product from the manufacturer, so I would like to write a review.

I usually hold Zoom meetings on my computer, but how much more convenient is MeePet compared to a computer?

First, a review of the product's appearance

MeePet outer box

Let's start with the box. It's not too big compared to the device itself, and is quite compact.

MeePet Accessories

The contents of the box are extremely simple: just the device, a power supply, and various documents.

The content is designed to help you eliminate waste thoroughly without hesitation and get started right away.
The start guide is very simple and doesn't contain any complicated information.

They are confident that anyone can set it up easily.

MeePet has a microphone on the top of the device.

There is a microphone on the top of the main unit.

MeePet has speakers on both sides

Speakers are installed on both sides of the main unit.

MeePet

The display is a touch panel and there are no buttons whatsoever.

All operations can be completed via the touch panel.

MeePet rear terminal

There are terminals on the back. From the left

  • headphone jack
  • LAN cable terminal
  • External output HDMI terminal
  • USB 2.0 port x 2
  • power terminal

"MeePet" can connect via Wi-Fi, but if you want a more stable connection, a LAN connection will provide more stable communication.

In addition, you can connect a mouse and keyboard to the USB ports. If you are not good at touch operations, I think it is a good idea to use this method to input data.

My first impression of the drone was that it was extremely compact and light! What's more, it has a built-in battery, so you can easily set it up wherever you want.

The aircraft itself has a high level of design and blends in well with the interior.

And the fact that there are no buttons and everything can be done through the screen is an easy-to-understand design.
I think it's a well-made product.

Actual usability

MeePet startup screen

Let's actually take a look at how to set it up and join a meeting.

First, connect the AC power and the SourceNext opening screen will appear.

MeePet connection method selection screen

A screen will appear asking you to select either Wi-Fi or LAN connection.
Here I selected the Wi-Fi connection and set it up.

MeePet

This completes the basic setup. It's very simple. Unlike a PC, there is no OS setup, so you can start using it right away on the day you buy it.

Now, let's try joining a web conference. This time, tap "Join".

Choose from three options: Zoom, Teams, and Webex

Three applications are installed: Zoom, Teams, and Webex, allowing you to connect to your preferred web conferencing application.

Here, select "Zoom."

ID and passcode entry screen

You will be asked to enter the meeting room ID and passcode, so enter them and tap "Join."

Video/No Video Selection Screen

You can choose whether or not to include video, so select with video.

Easy to connect

I was able to join the meeting without any problems. I had no trouble with the operations up to this point, and I was really impressed with how easy it was to join a web conference.

If holding meetings is this easy, it's easy to agree with the selling point that there's no need to go to the trouble of buying and setting up a PC.

Other overall evaluations

The touch panel also responded well, and it didn't have to be pressed hard to respond, as is often the case with cheap devices, but instead responded smoothly and satisfactorily to my fingers.

It is extremely easy to carry around, and I feel that the high level of mobility that is not possible with a stationary PC is a major advantage of MeePet.

There are no particular issues with the image quality, frame rate, or sound quality. You can hold meetings with the same quality as a regular web conference on a PC.

As long as the connection isn't a drag, you can have a comfortable web conference.

The LCD panel itself is of high quality. It is quite bright, clear and easy to see, and has a wide viewing angle, so you can hold meetings in a high-quality environment.

If the microphone settings of the other device are poor, the sound may seem quiet. As a countermeasure, I think it would be more comfortable to connect headphones.

Below, we connected with editorial staff member M via Zoom to record what it was like.

Summary

It's so compact, yet packed with features, simple to use, lightweight and beautifully designed.

It blends in with the decor of your room, so if you keep one on your desk, you can hold a web conference more easily than turning on your computer.

"KAIGIO MeePet" is an all-in-one web conferencing system that can be recommended to anyone, whether they are working remotely and mainly use web conferences every day, or if they want to try building a web conferencing environment.

Recommended for those who want to hold web conferences quickly and easily!
