rooms, is now certified for
Microsoft Teams. The Poly Studio USB video bar features room-filling audio, a
4K HD camera with built-in speaker tracking and framing, as well as support for
remote cloud management for ongoing updates and configuration. The Poly Studio
is currently available worldwide.

“Whenever and
wherever people connect with Microsoft Teams, we will be there to provide the
best-in-class audio, video and voice endpoints to make the experience that much
better,” said Joe Burton, president and CEO at Poly. “We deliver everything you
need on the journey to transition to Teams.”

with Poly on a range of Microsoft Teams solutions — from video conferencing, to
headsets, to desk and conference phones, to services. Poly is a one-stop-shop

anyone.”

“The
Poly Studio X Series devices take simplicity to the next level,” said Ira M.
Weinstein, managing partner at analyst firm Recon Research. “These sleek,
all-in-one devices include mics, speakers, and camera, and come pre-loaded with
the Microsoft Teams application. No software to load. From the box to a
