Microsoft Teams Devices at ISE 2019

The Microsoft Team is back in snowy Seattle after an amazing week at Integrated Systems Europe in Amsterdam last week!


 

This was the first presence for Microsoft Teams Devices along with the Surface team at the ISE conference.  Jointly, we showcased Microsoft’s broad portfolio of conferencing and collaboration devices across personal and shared spaces for Microsoft Teams.

 

Our booth staff was very busy over the course of the week delivering hundreds of demos of Microsoft Teams, Office 365, and Surface, providing guided booth tours of our different spaces which included Huddle Space, Meeting Room, Executive Office, and our Devices Bar, and meetings with our key customers and channel partners.

 

 

 

Windows Collaboration Displays

Microsoft showcased the first two WCDs from Sharp and Avocor that will be available for customers to enhance their meeting experience with high-resolution multi-touch & pen displays that include integrated stereo speakers, as well as Microsoft, certified far-field microphones and camera, so customers can easily use the best of Microsoft 365 collaboration tools – from Windows and Office to Microsoft Whiteboard and Microsoft Teams – at room scale, and all backed by the intelligent cloud. A simple, one-cable connections make all your apps and content available on the Windows Collaboration Display and even charges your PC. In addition to being teamwork devices, Windows collaboration displays include built-in sensors, such as presence detection, that connect to Azure IoT, so users can find available collaboration spaces and facility managers can utilize the data they collect to make real-time decisions.

 

 

Microsoft Surface

It was great to have the Surface family including Surface Hub integrated into our booth presence with our other Microsoft Teams devices last week. Surface Hub is a powerful, pen and touch-enabled large-screen collaboration device with integrated Windows 10 computer, so it runs applications (Microsoft and third-party) natively. In addition to wireless Miracast support and wired projection capabilities, you can also sign-in to the Surface Hub directly to access your cloud content, making it super easy to view and edit your files. Surface Hub is also a great platform for remote meetings. Last summer, Microsoft Teams was introduced on Surface Hub and customers are loving the experience of one-touch meeting join and large-screen remote participant view. Surface Hub empowers teams to collaborate and brainstorm and is great for collaboration spaces like the huddle and open spaces.

 

Excitement continues to build for Surface Hub 2S, which will start shipping in select markets next quarter! 

 

New! Logitech Tap for Microsoft Teams Rooms

Logitech announced Logitech TAP for Microsoft Teams Room which has a new modular design and allows for flexible mounting.  This was displayed in our Meeting Room Showcase.

    if you have a MTR it is possible to have dual display with video feed on one screen and content on the other display. 

    All MTRs have that feature. But Poly X50, is to my understanding a Collabbar that does not support dual display 

     

    if not in a call, and sharing content local in the meeting room, you will default have content on both displays.

    With Microsoft Teams Rooms, is it possible to run dual (2) screens from any vendor such that we can view a presentation on one screen and the meeting room participant "heads" in a grid full-screen on the 2nd screen?  It seems that the Poly X50 just mirrors the same content on both connected screens.  The image of the Logitech Tap above shows 2 screens with different images on them, but there also appears to be a Surface laptop connected, so I'm unsure if this is a live VC with content being shared on the left screen?  There is a tiny PiP in bottom RH corner of right screen which I assume is one party's video feed, and then what might be full-screen of what the Rally camera above the middle of the 2 screens is showing, and yet the Teams desktop looking content on the left screen isn't even full-screen as there are black bars down either side?

    When running Teams on a Surface Hub, how should I invite to collaborate on the Microsoft whiteboard. Seems like there is no chat function...

     - even the pop-up screen during a Teams call is saying:

    1. copy link

    2. share via Skype

    Also is it really true, that in a Teams calls you are not able to have auto switching cameras? Seems like you have to choose Left or Right.

     

    Thanks
