Teams collaboration bar hangs after some idle time
We are using a few Studio X type devices and are having the following issues with all of them.
We use all devices in Microsoft Teams Partner Mode and have the following problems with both firmwares the current one recommended by Microsoft in the Admin Center (3.2.3.280012) and the latest available one (3.3.1.284016) identically.
After some time (whether in standby or not) without interaction, a call can no longer be started from the device. If one clicks on "New meeting" and enters a name, it cannot be dialed. As soon as you are in this menu, clicking (via mouse or touchscreen) on "X" is also no longer possible. The device hangs in this state. Further functions can then only be called up again by plugging in a keyboard with "ESC" or by restarting.
In the same state it is also not possible to invite the device via Teams -> Add room. The device rings but the call cannot be accepted (the screen is missing). If you then wait and try again it works.
On a freshly launched device whithout any settings changed from reset (beside connection to O365 room) everything works, both dialing and adding the room via Teams. It only happens after some time in an idle state - 100% if it is idle over night.
All points are reproducible on all devices of type Poly Studio X (30/50) both in the corporate network and in the home office. We do not know if the functions ever worked properly but for sure the device is nearly unusable with this.
Anyone with the same? Any idea's?
JONNYBLUE Quick update, it seems that we have found a tentative root cause for this issue, but we need confirmation from Poly. It seems that the firmware changes DPI dynamically which causes Teams app to not respond correctly. You can see on the video you sent me that the size of the "New meeting" pop-up changes slightly. If we are right, a fix will come in the next update (late March). I'll update this thread as we learn more about this further.
Pavel Yurevich do you maybe have some idea about this? As I saw you have news here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/173714

JONNYBLUE thanks for mentioning me. I am the right person to take a look at this issue.
I am sorry that this is happening and I have not encountered this issue so far from customer conversations or from personal use. I have devices running 24 hours a day in my home office and every morning everything works. We also restart Teams app every 8 hours since inactivity to avoid some "stale" effects. Let's see what we can do to reproduce this on my end and get this resolved.
Can you tell me more about your setup? Here is what I would be interested in:
- Just to confirm, this issue happens in this order: (1) Factory reset your Poly Studio device, (2) wait some time, e.g., overnight, and (3) cannot use "Meet now" or add a room through proximity. Correct?
- Are you making any changes to the devices in Poly's WebUI? Have you tried disabling idle/standby settings?
- Are you making any changes to the config profiles in Teams Admin Center?
- Do you have a Teams account that is whitelisted for pre-production rings, like TAP? Reporting an issue from an account like that will give us more logs.
Thanks for your reply. First of all I am happy that this is not an issue on your side - so it is not a general issue what means there is possibly a solution 🙂
1. Correct but after reset I change to "Teams mode" and I connect to a Room with Teams Rooms Standard licence. To reproduce I just click on New meeting, enter some letters and double click on a username (mouse or touchscreen attached). After that, system is stuck in that screen. Can still navigate but nothing happens.
2. No, no other changes are made. It does not matter if I change or not
3. Yes, the devices have config but I also removed them without any difference
4. No, unfortunately not.
Could it be that Conditional Access makes trouble here? Especially "Report Only" policies? They are giving a hint on showing certificates on android / iOS - never saw one but might that be an issue? (already testing by myself...)
Sometimes I see a purple line on the top of the device going from left to right (a little like Knight Rider K.I.T.T.), do you know what this means if this comes? It's not always, but often.
