Polycom X50 w7 TC8 and Eagleeye issue

[Jmmfm]

I have a Polycom X50 device with a tc8 tablet in a conference room, which was booting Zoom until now, no problema at all. The device has the native camera and an external one, the Eagleeye.

 In Zoom mode both cameras are detected and i can swith from one to the other.

 Now i need so set the device to boot in Teams mode, and here start the problems...

 In this mode i can only use the native camera, which has lower resolution and mobility. The external one, even though is detected, simply doesn´t display any image. The only image displayed is from the native camera.

Does anybody know anything related to this issue? Any kind on incompatibility regarding Teams with the eagle eye camera? 

Thank you!

What is Poly Studio X50 software version and Teams Room version?

Regarding Teams version i had to set the device to boot in Zoom again, so that it is usable, we´re only testing Teams for now, but i installed all the updates available.

The controller Version is 5.13.5 (1760).

Thanks!

Hello @Jmmfm ,

welcome to the HP Poly community.

As stated by @Syl73 it is always important to post the full software version used and any partner Application Version on top as many features may depend on this. For example, the Zoom Room version you shared is outdated and has been replace by 5.15.5.

Our Partner Microsoft, up until Teams Version 1449/1.0.96.2023060802 only supported a single camera for the Studio X30, Studio X50, and Studio X70, aka the built-in camera when running PolyOS 4.0.2 or older.

Since Microsoft Teams Version 1449/1.0.96.2023062301 Microsoft started to support multiple cameras.

To my own personal knowledge, this is support from their end and not tested by HP Poly. Depending on the provider you are using aka Zoom,  LogMeIn, Google, etc. some applications have multi-camera support and others do not.

You may find Zoom working OK with a Poly Eagle Eye IV USB but not Microsoft as the apps are different. In addition, a Poly Eagle Eye IV USB may never have been a supported accessory (as an example) for a Studio X device.

The best place to check is always the release notes as this should note what we, HP Poly have tested and therefore support in order to avoid disappointment when switching providers assuming something should work or upgrading to later releases.

Hello Steffen!

 Hopefully this new release will solve my problem.

 To be honest i could´t find any information about any kind of incompatibily between TeamsRooms and the EagleEye. The camera is even detected and i can control it, but no image at all.

 I will see if the latest release notes have any info regarding this subject.

Thank you very much Steffen!

Hi. The Teams App does support external USB cameras with the latest  version 1449/1.0.96.2023062301.

Please note that, even though Microsoft has now implemented this feature, we as HP Poly don´t support this yet.

Hi!

Thanks a lot for all the info, extremely helpful!

We are looking for a free slot in the conference room in order to get the suggested update and make some stability tests.
