Using the Poly TC10 as a Microsoft Teams Panel

Run the Microsoft Teams Panel app on a Poly TC10 device in standalone mode to easily manage a Microsoft Teams meeting space. When paired with a Microsoft Teams account in standalone mode, you can use the Poly TC10 mounted outside a Meeting Room to manage the room. The Poly TC10 displays the current status of the room and any upcoming scheduled meetings. It also provides options to reserve, check-in to, or release the meeting space.

Reserve an Ad Hoc Meeting on the Microsoft Teams Panel

You can reserve an ad hoc meeting directly on the Microsoft Teams Panel. If the option is enabled in the admin settings for the Microsoft Teams Room, users can reserve an immediate time slot on the Microsoft Teams Panel.

  1. On the Microsoft Teams Panel, select Reserve.
  2. Select an ending time for the meeting.
  3. Select Reserve.

A new Microsoft Teams meeting is added to the Microsoft Teams Panel.

Extend or Release a Teams Room Reservation

On the Microsoft Teams Panel, you can extend the length of a Teams Rooms meeting, or release a Teams Room if a meeting ends early. NOTE: The tasks outlined here can be enabled or disabled in the admin settings in Microsoft Teams Panel.

Before entering the Microsoft Teams Room space for a meeting, check-in to confirm that the meeting is going ahead. If you don't check in, the meeting is released after a period of time, as defined in the admin settings.

You can also extend a meeting that continues after the reserved time slot, or release a room if a meeting ends early, so that it shows as available for other users.

  • To check in to a room, select Check in ✔️.
  • To extend a meeting beyond its reserved slot, select Manage. Then select Extend room reservation. Choose a new ending time and choose Reserve.
  • To release a room early to make it available again, select Manage. Then select Check out and Check out again.

Chapter 5: Device Maintenance

You have several options to keep your device running properly.

Unpair the TC10 from a Video System

Unpair the TC10 if you no longer want to use it with a particular video system. Don't unpair devices if you plan to use them with the same system. For example, if you move your video-conferencing equipment to another room, just disconnect and reconnect the devices in the new location.

  1. In the system web interface, go to General Settings > Device Management.
  2. Under Connected Devices, find the device by its MAC address (for example, 00e0db4cf0be) and select Unpair.

The unpaired device moves from Connected Devices to Available Devices (which shows discovered devices you can pair with the system).

Restart the Poly TC10

If you have issues, you can try restarting the Poly TC10.

  1. For a wall- or glass-mounted device, dismount it and remove any wall mounting brackets. For a desk-mounted device, remove the TC10 stand. For more information, see the relevant Quick Start Guide.
  2. Disconnect the LAN cable from the Poly TC10 and reconnect it.
