All-in-one video devices with 4K cameras, microphone arrays, and touch whiteboarding - built for hybrid teams and certified for both Zoom Rooms and Microsoft Teams Rooms.
In 2015, an engineer named Wei Liu kept watching the same small failure repeat itself: people walking into a conference room and losing the first five minutes of a meeting to cables, remotes, and the question of which input to select. Conference-room technology was unreliable, overly complex, and disconnected from the collaboration tools people actually used. His fix was not more software. It was a single piece of glass.
DTEN, the San Jose company he founded that year, builds all-in-one video conferencing and collaboration devices - large touchscreens with the camera, microphones, speakers, and whiteboarding built in - that aim to make joining a meeting as simple as touching the screen. Working closely with Zoom from the start, DTEN shipped its first product, the D5, in 2017, then went on to define an entire category of hardware for the way people meet now.
A traditional meeting room is an assembly project: a display, a separate camera, a soundbar, a mic pod, a mini-PC or codec, a tangle of cables, and a control tablet - each from a different vendor, each a potential point of failure. DTEN's premise is that all of it belongs in one appliance that ships ready to run.
The company's flagship D7X folds a 4K camera, a 15-microphone array, stereo speakers, and a responsive touchscreen into a single unit. Walk up, tap once, and you are in a call. Draw on the screen and you have a whiteboard the remote participants can see and save. There is no separate box to configure and, ideally, no reason to file an IT ticket.
That simplicity solves a real and expensive problem. Rooms that are hard to use get avoided; meetings that start late waste the most costly resource in any company - people's time. And in a hybrid world, the person who is not in the room is the one who suffers most when the camera can't find the speaker or the whiteboard is a smudge on a webcam. DTEN designs for that remote participant as much as for the people around the table.
For the IT teams that own hundreds of these rooms, DTEN pairs the hardware with cloud-based device management: remote monitoring, health checks, diagnostics, and updates across an entire fleet. The buyer of a meeting device is rarely the person who sits in the meeting - and DTEN builds for the admin as deliberately as for the user.

Most buyers are torn between Zoom and Microsoft Teams. DTEN's answer is to ship one device certified for both Zoom Rooms and Microsoft Teams Rooms, letting IT choose - and change its mind later. Optionality is the feature.
Rivals like Neat, Poly, Logitech, Cisco, and Yealink compete across cameras, bars, and boards. DTEN's distinct bet is the fully integrated touchscreen appliance - camera, mics, speakers, compute, and whiteboard in one plug-and-play unit.
DTEN sits in the video-collaboration hardware market alongside the biggest names in unified communications - but reaches beyond the corporate boardroom. The same appliance that runs a Fortune 500 meeting shows up in K-12 and higher-education classrooms and in healthcare and telehealth settings, three very different worlds that share one problem: people who need to collaborate across distance.
Enterprises and Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, schools and universities, and healthcare and telehealth providers - deployed globally across North America, LATAM, EMEA, and APAC.
DTEN sells hardware to businesses - direct and through channel partners and distributors such as CDW and Europe's DEKOM. Device sales across room sizes are complemented by management software, support and warranty services, and deep certification partnerships with Zoom and Microsoft.

DTEN designs all-in-one video conferencing and collaboration hardware - touchscreen appliances with built-in 4K cameras, microphone arrays, speakers, and whiteboarding - for meeting rooms of every size.
DTEN was founded in 2015 by Wei Liu, who serves as CEO. It is headquartered in San Jose, California.
Both. Devices like the D7X and DTEN Bar are certified for Zoom Rooms and Microsoft Teams Rooms, so customers can choose their platform.
DTEN has partnered closely with Zoom since its founding, and Zoom made a strategic investment in DTEN in October 2021 - though DTEN remains an independent company.
Enterprises, government agencies, K-12 and higher-education institutions, and healthcare and telehealth providers deploy DTEN devices globally for hybrid meetings.
