Helping remote participants follow the people, interactions, and context that shape the conversation, Intelligent Framing™ brings a more natural, dynamic view to large hybrid meeting rooms.

Large meeting rooms have long been one of the hardest environments for hybrid collaboration. Remote participants often face a trade-off: see everyone in a grid of tiny faces and struggle to follow who matters in the moment, or focus on the active speaker and lose sight of the wider room. Either way, the subtle human cues that make conversations easy to follow can get lost.

How Intelligent Framing works

For years, meeting room layouts have been largely static. The industry has introduced new grids, active-speaker views, and different ways of arranging people on screen, but the fundamental approach has remained the same: choose a layout and make the meeting fit within it. Intelligent Framing turns that model around.

Rather than relying on a predetermined layout, Neat uses AI to dynamically compose the view around who matters as the meeting unfolds. The layout no longer dictates the experience. The meeting shapes the layout.

Powered by Neat’s unique distributed AI architecture and built on Neat Symmetry™, Intelligent Framing adapts in real time to the flow of interaction across the room. It brings participants forward based on who’s speaking, who’s recently spoken, and who’s most active in the conversation. The result is a more natural view of large-room conversations that brings people closer without losing sight of what’s happening around them.

This is only the beginning. Intelligent Framing is built to evolve, allowing Neat to introduce more cues for the AI to interpret over time. As that intelligence grows, the system becomes increasingly attuned to what’s happening in the room and how the conversation unfolds.

A view that adapts to the conversation

Different conversations call for different perspectives. Intelligent Framing gives you three ways to frame the room, all available under Auto framing: Individuals in the Neat slide-out menu. Highlights and Highlights + Room are available in Beta with NeatOS 26.5.0, while Equal remains the default.

Equal

Keeps everyone equally visible, giving remote participants a consistent view of everyone in the room.

Highlights

Dynamically brings the most relevant participants forward in larger, clearer tiles while keeping everyone else visible in smaller tiles alongside them. This helps keep conversations focused without losing sight of the rest of the room.

Highlights + Room

Combines highlighted participants with a full-room perspective, preserving the wider context of the conversation while keeping the most relevant people in focus.

Where framing starts to feel human

Much of the friction in remote meetings comes from having to constantly decode the room: Who reacted to that? Who just started speaking? Why did the camera move? Who is even there?

Intelligent Framing reduces that friction, making the experience feel more instinctive and human. Remote participants spend less effort decoding the room and more time engaging with each other.

Importantly, it doesn’t force organizations into a dramatic workflow change. Intelligent Framing is optional and configurable either directly on the device or centrally through Neat Pulse, giving organizations the flexibility to tailor the experience to their spaces and preferences. Equal framing can be selected at any time.

The best meeting technology doesn’t perform for attention. It disappears into the experience and quietly improves the interaction. That’s what makes Intelligent Framing compelling. It’s not trying to turn meetings into a production. It’s helping restore social clarity to hybrid collaboration.

More intelligence, less complexity

Intelligent Framing reflects a broader shift in how Neat approaches the meeting room: making greater intelligence feel effortless. Instead of people adapting to the technology, the technology increasingly adapts to what people are doing.

The sophistication is in the technology, not the experience. For users, the meeting simply feels more natural.

Intelligent Framing is available now, with Highlights and Highlights + Room in Beta with NeatOS 26.5.0.
