What is Polycom Centro?

Real Presence Centro changes the way we meet and collaborate so that the technology is no longer a distraction to engagement and interaction but rather an enabler for seamless, empowering experiences that defy distance. We believe it’s time that technology fades into the background and not our teammates on the screen.

Designed for work groups, classrooms and teams that want more engaged collaboration, RealPresence Centro embraces natural human instincts and advanced technology to draw people together into a powerful, collaborative circle, giving everyone equality of contribution regardless of where they are located. It serves as a collaboration and content sharing hub.
