Poly G40-T Microsoft Teams Rooms System - Overview, Setup, and Demo

[@SecondFoundation]

Stuff like this helps so much, I've never touched one of these but needed to know if it supported two displays. Poly makes it clear as mud, as usual. Your video helped me.

[@adamjacobs227]

Great video overview Josh! Two things worth mentioning. 1. There's an additional Philips-head screw that can be tightened to ensure that nobody can remove the cable management access panel. 2. The remote for the Poly Studio is optional, by default this camera can utilize automatic speaker tracking or enabled for group framing.

[@ExpertOfThings]

Awesome adds! Thanks for jumping in, Adam!

thank u for this video I recently become the 2nd local IT in a society and the other local IT doesnt want to share this type of knowledge and one day they had an issue with this system and the other guy wasnt onsite so they call me to check just 3 min before the meeting it was so embarrassing cuz i had no clue how it work I end up connecting a normal computer to the tv

[@joelrubio1972]

Great video! Thanks, Josh. Question -- an attendee in a Teams Room, how do they present (share their screen/present) without plugging into the HDMI cable? Do they just join the meeting from their laptop, then share from there? In a Zoom Room, for example, the attendee will just click the Share Screen button in their Zoom app, and the proximity signal is picked up automatically by the Zoom Room they're in without their laptop fully joining the meeting. Thanks in advance!

Hi, you need to buy the Levono/Dell to get the teams app on the touch screen? many thanks

[@HansTester]

Have you the room system in domain join or is that a optional setting?

[@voodooturbo]

Your lamp is dope. Please tell me that the red spigot actually turns it on and off.

[@ExpertOfThings]

Thanks! And unfortunately, no. Got it at Hobby Lobby...

[@voodooturbo]

@@ExpertOfThings Dang. Sounds like a an easy enough fix though haha.

[@ExpertOfThings]

@@voodooturbo that might be a video in and of itself!

Hi Josh Currently i have 2 monitor connected to this polycom. During team meeting it only show 1 screen of camera view and another side are just black off. Dual screen turned on, the only button i can press is switch monitor in the touch panel. Do you have any idea to show 2 monitor at the same time ? 1 monitor is viewing myself and another monitor is showing my client face.

I have an important question about the instalation. I need to buy some license from microsoft teams for use the G40-T? (Microsoft teams rooms pro or basic). I ask because I can't connect teams on my device. It is not showing up in teams admin panel either.

[@ExpertOfThings]

Yes, you need one of those two licenses. Assuming all other requirements for account creation and the network are in place, you should be able to log in, and then the device will show up in the Admin Center after a short delay.

Hi Mate, can you show how we can mount the camera above or below the TV

[@ExpertOfThings]

Actually, I no longer have that equipment, so I cannot. BUT, I CAN show you you to TV mount and Wall mount Logitech VC bars, if interested?

[@vijaydanu7286]

Hello this is vijay from India I need your help to fix a issue on my poly tc8 we was trying to update the software of poly x30 with tc8 but my camera got updated but tc8 still on old version so is there any way to update the software for poly tc8

[@pawanarya3927]

Can we schedule a future from this device using touch panel

[@ExpertOfThings]

Unfortunately, no, you cannot schedule future meetings on the touch panel.

[@pawanarya3927]

@@ExpertOfThings thank you Namestey

[@iboudia9240]

Hi Josh, thanks for the video. accessing the GC8 settings requires a password but i cannot find the information anywhere. I have tried entering the lenovo serial number but it doesnt seem to be it. Any idea ?

[@cgroves]

Try: sfb

[@johnraymonmarte6572]

how did you remove the screw?

[@ExpertOfThings]

Sorry, which screw?

[@prof.hawthorne3133]

There's a single screw that holds the bottom panel in and prevents it from sliding open. I had to remove the plastic cover to unscrew it all the way. Surely there's a more elegant way to access this post assembly?

[@balcoaustralia7444]

@@prof.hawthorne3133 Yep, we spent half an hour trying to remove the panel before we discovered the hidden screw under the cross shaped hole. Rest of the video great though.

[@Clarkeness]

Thank you for this!

[@ExpertOfThings]

Thanks for watching!

[@ricardoduarte9927]

Hi. How laggy is the HDMI Presentation mode?

[@technomyke]

super annoying how the MTRs consistently pick the wrong audio devices when being setup the first time. you would think the MTR be coded to pick certified devices as default over onboard mic/sound cards. And volume up right next to the hang up button, whoops

[@Yinyemez]

Can I use the Zoom platform on this device?

[@ExpertOfThings]

This particular sku is for Teams. You would need to visit Poly's site for further supportability on this system.

[@amsterdamn4829]

Polycom are the masters of confusion. The TC8 needs PoE... but the GC8 comes with a power supply?! Doesn't make sense and isn't very clear in terms of trying to get hold of this information.

[@DougGilpin]

The back cover removal is SO STUPID, once you have all the wires in, it becomes to tight to depress and you can't get the cover off again without breaking it. They have to fix that!
