Poly and Microsoft Teams Rooms Studio Kits Bring Equity and Ease to Hybrid Work for Any Room Size

SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Nov. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Poly (NYSE: POLY), a global communications company that powers meaningful human connection and collaboration, today unveiled its updated Poly Room Solutions for Microsoft Teams Rooms. This new lineup of Poly Studio Kits, offer premium audio and video for focus, small, medium, and large rooms, and feature Poly DirectorAI technology.

Poly Studio Kits for Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows are simple to buy and deploy right out-of-the-box. With an optimized room view as well as speaker tracking and framing technology, Poly Studio Kits for Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows deliver an equitable and dynamic meeting experience for everyone. Poly's Microsoft Teams Rooms solutions on Windows can be paired with  new Dell or Lenovo conferencing PCs.

"Meetings are happening everywhere - from conference rooms to personal workspaces and everything in between.  People crave equitable and consistent video meeting experiences no matter where they are," said Laura Marx, Vice President, Global Alliance And Product Marketing, Poly. "Poly DirectorAI technology intelligently frames in-conference room meeting participants so anyone not in the room can easily track the conversation."

"Today's workplace needs have changed, and Microsoft Teams Rooms is introducing inclusive collaboration experiences through concepts like front row," says Albert Kooiman, Senior Director of Microsoft Teams Devices Partner Engineering and Certification at Microsoft Corporation. "The new lineup of Poly Room Solutions for Teams Rooms brings users to the forefront of the future of meetings with optimized room views, plus speaker tracking and framing for a more equitable and dynamic meeting experience."

Oftentimes conference room participants either appear small and are difficult to hear, or the person close to the camera looks fine while the person sitting at the far end of the table looks too small. This leads to other meeting participants finding the experience to be inequitable, uninviting or dis-engaging. Poly's DirectorAI technology overcomes this disparity and delivers a high-performing meeting experience in any size space.
