Installing the Poly Studio X50 Video Bar and TC8 for Microsoft Teams Rooms

It is more important than ever to enable high-quality hybrid meeting experiences. Since March 2020, the average Teams user has increased their weekly time spent in meetings by 252% (Microsoft Work Trend Index). As a portion of your workforce returns to the office, it is vital that they have a consistent experience across all the devices they use. This includes their meeting technology.

The Poly Studio Series is a radically simple meeting room solution that is easy to set up and has rich connection for better collaboration. In this video, we will walk you through how to set up the Poly Studio X50 and TC8 Touch Controller as a Microsoft Teams Room System.

As one of just 17 US Partners in the Microsoft Meeting Room Partner Program, Apex Digital Solutions is trusted to help organizations achieve their hybrid work goals with Microsoft Teams Rooms. Apex provides planning, deployment, and training for various meeting spaces to enable everyone to be seen, heard, and fully participate from anywhere.

Salut,

c'est configurable et administrable avec POLYLENS / POLYCOMPANION ?

Thanks, great video! Question, when setting up in MTR Android, how does the near-end present content? And what if that room is used mostly for local presentations, would they need to always use the Poly as a conduit to the display (if they are connected to the hdmi input) or would you have a discrete input directly to the display for that purpose?

Thanks!

Do you need 2 PoE ports or just one? The video bar has a power supply so I wouldn't think PoE is required there.

I have a MacBook Pro (M1), a Cadyce (CA-CDPRO) docking station, a Dell Monitor (P2722HE) & Poly X30 (with TCA).

My goal is to have just one display (Dell as primary and Mac can be kept in flap down mode) & to use the X30. I do not have a dedicated PoE switch. However, I have one LAN Port on the Dock. How best to connect these systems to talk to each other? I guess the most important question is, the LAN Cable from the TCA - Where does that go to? I have Wi-FI (no router in the room I am trying to setup this Zoom room in).

Thank you!

I have an issue to login microsoft team. The tc8 doesnot detect .it shows "make sure the device you want to pair is signed in to the same teams account". How you solve that??

How is it possible to invite the room? When I invite persons to a meeting, they have to accept the invitation. Do I have to accept all meetings with my teams-room so that they are shown up on the screen? Or is is possible that the room accepts the invitations automaticlly?

Poly should provide step by step instructions for setting up the Microsoft Teams rooms account. Every video or document makes it look like this is easy and the user just needs to just log into a Teams room account and its easy but there are at least four steps involved and Microsoft does not offer complete instructions. Some Microsoft learn articles say the devices need to be added to intune, some say it just needs to be a resource account, some say they need a teams pro license some say a basic license in sufficient and some say the configuration is in Microsoft Team's admin center and some say the settings are all in PowerShell. It is very frustrating.

Can't sign in to teams for the life of me. Keeps asking to refresh for code but just does the same when you click it.
Ports are open and license is already assigned. These things suck for the cost.. They also unoair from the tc8 every day! Which they've acknowledged that they're working on patching it with their upcoming firmware updates.
Sending this trash back.

Does the Poly need to have its own Teams account?
