Overall Impression

Setup is straightforward for basic conference room use. One installer described putting a Scribe into a conference room and finding the setup nice and easy, calling the device simple to use straight away. Beyond this single account, most other feedback comes in the form of technical questions rather than completed experiences, covering calibration, whiteboard-detection triggers, and how the share button behaves when switching between camera and other shared content. This suggests that while initial installation can go smoothly, understanding the full workflow around sharing and calibration is not always obvious to new users.

Compatibility with Rally Bar and Teams Rooms is a recurring sticking point. A large share of the comments are questions about whether Scribe works with specific setups: Rally Bar, Rally Bar Mini, Rally Bar in appliance mode, third-party NUCs, POE switches, Yealink MVC systems, and both Zoom and Google Meet. One commenter states plainly that as of April 2024 the Scribe was still not supported on Rally Bar or Rally Bar Mini running in Teams appliance mode on Android, blaming Microsoft for lagging behind Zoom. This volume of unanswered compatibility questions points to real confusion among potential buyers.

Some users see it as pricey, glitchy, or already dated. One commenter called for a cheaper price aimed at teachers rather than just corporations, implying the current cost is a barrier outside enterprise budgets. Another reported that the share button simply doesn't work and worried the device could become another unused piece of hardware sitting in a room. A separate user found the response time slow and the image quality low, preferring a graphics tablet and second monitor instead. By January 2025, one reviewer went further, dismissing Scribe as an outdated analog gadget with no integration capabilities.

One user installed a Scribe in a conference room and described the setup as nice and easy, with the device simple to use right away. This suggests initial installation can be straightforward for basic conference room deployments.

@tedbarnett67

I just installed a scribe today in one of our conference rooms - nice easy set up and so easy to use. Question I have is once you've got your whiteboard shared into the meeting, is there a way to capture it digitally to add it to your meeting notes? Not sure if this is possible from the TAP or not - I assume I could join the meeting from a laptop and grab it with a screen grab, but was curious if there was a more native way of doing this. Thanks!

Frequently criticized

One commenter stated that as of April 2024, Scribe was still not supported on Logitech Rally Bar or Rally Bar Mini running in Teams appliance mode on Android, blaming Microsoft for lagging behind Zoom. Several other users separately ask whether Scribe can be used directly with a Rally Bar in appliance mode, indicating ongoing uncertainty about this integration.

@blueskunk9163

April 2024 this device (the Scribe) is still NOT supported on Logitech Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini running in appliance mode (on Android). Microsoft is lagging getting this feature supported on an Android OS appliance. This video should clarify that the bar in this demo is running on an Intel-based compute device. Logitech, please PUSH Microsoft to add this support to being Teams into parity with Zoom! I've got a Scribe sitting in a box waiting to be installed.

A commenter reported that the share button on the device doesn't work, and expressed concern the Scribe could end up as another unused piece of collaboration hardware sitting idle in a room.

@59kabb

There is a share button which doesn't work, guess you left that little bit out. Aside from that lets just hope it doesn't end up as another unused piece of h/w plastic collaboration tool in the corner of a room.

A commenter asked Logitech to make the product cheaper for teachers, arguing the company shouldn't focus only on corporate buyers, implying the current price is a barrier for education budgets.

@annakowalczyk5763

Make it cheaper for teachers! Don't think only about corporations, be noble-minded as well as profit oriented, come on, it's easy if you want to.

Generally negative

One commenter felt the idea was good but not very practical in use, citing slow response time and low quality, and said they preferred using a graphics tablet with a second monitor instead.

@mclovin.__.

A good idea, but it is still misused or at least it does not seem very practical. Especially since the response time is slow and the quality is low. I prefer to use a graphics tablet and a second monitor. So far it is the most practical thing I have to teach.

@CezarAzevedo

In January 2025, this device stands out as an outdated analog gadget with no integration capabilities—a remarkably uninspired product and perhaps one of the worst ever released.
