Using Device Mode
Topics:
▪ Computer and Cable Requirements
▪ Access Device Mode
▪ Use Your System as a Computer Accessory
▪ Adjust the System Audio and Camera Settings
▪ Managing Incoming Calls When in Device Mode
▪ Exit Device Mode and Disconnect Your Computer
Poly Device Mode enables you to use the system’s camera, speaker, microphone, and connected
monitors from your computer.
Once you connect the system to your computer with a USB cable, you can control the video system’s
camera and audio features using your computer’s third-party conferencing application. For example,
instead of using your computer’s camera for Zoom Rooms calls, connect the Studio X30 and use its 4K
camera to automatically follow the conversation in the room. You also gain a Poly echo-cancelling
microphone and speaker technology during calls.
Note: Studio X70 doesn't support Device Mode.
