Poly Room PC for Microsoft Teams Rooms – Lenovo ThinkSmart

Product Overview

The Poly Room PC for Microsoft Teams Rooms is a certified compute appliance that runs Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows and drives a room built from Poly cameras, microphones, and touch controllers. It is supplied as a compact, headless unit intended to mount under or behind the room display, so the only visible hardware in the space is the display, camera, and touch panel. This is the compute element only — camera, audio, and controller are specified separately to match the room. Choose it when the organization has standardized on Teams Rooms on Windows rather than an Android appliance such as the Poly Studio G62 modular codec.

Product Description

The choice between a Windows room PC and an Android room appliance is an IT decision more than an AV one. A Windows compute endpoint sits inside the same imaging, patching, Intune or MDM enrollment, and endpoint security tooling as the rest of the estate, and the Teams Rooms application behaves identically across every room regardless of which camera or microphone is attached. That consistency is why many organizations keep a room PC standard even in spaces where an all-in-one bar would physically suffice. This unit fills that role: Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows certified, delivering one-touch meeting join and calendar integration, with the room's AV components connected as peripherals.

Physically it is designed to disappear into the room. The compact, headless chassis mounts under a table, behind the display, or inside a credenza, and connects to the room through HDMI for display output, USB Type-A and Type-C for camera and audio peripherals, and Gigabit Ethernet for network and management. Power comes from an external AC adapter. For an integrator, that port set means the room can be cabled conventionally — HDMI to the display, USB to the camera and audio device, one network drop — without proprietary interconnects, and it means a failed unit can be swapped without recabling the room.

On the AV side it pairs with the Poly Studio E70 dual-lens 4K camera for large rooms, the Poly Studio E60 PTZ camera where optical zoom on a presenter is required, and Poly Studio R30, Studio P15, and EagleEye cameras in smaller or legacy spaces. Room control is handled by a Poly TC10 touch controller, and table pickup can be extended with a Poly Studio table microphone or Poly Trio C60 audio. Management runs through the Microsoft Teams Admin Center and standard MDM tooling, with HP Poly Lens covering the attached Poly peripherals. Because room PC hardware revisions change over the life of a listing, confirm the exact platform and configuration shipping against this part number with Creation Networks before finalizing a rollout standard — particularly where an image, driver set, or security baseline has to be certified in advance. Organizations wanting a current-generation Poly-branded Windows compute unit with published processor and memory specification should compare the Poly Mini IP Conference PC G9.

Key Features

• Teams Rooms on Windows Certified — Runs the certified Microsoft Teams Rooms application on Windows, giving one-touch join and calendar integration with the same behavior in every room.
• Standard IT Lifecycle — As a Windows endpoint it enrolls in existing imaging, patching, MDM, and endpoint security tooling rather than requiring a separate AV management workflow.
• Compact Headless Design — Mounts under a table, behind the room display, or inside a credenza so no compute hardware is visible in the meeting space.
• Conventional Room Cabling — HDMI output, USB Type-A and Type-C for peripherals, and Gigabit Ethernet mean the room is cabled with standard AV infrastructure and no proprietary interconnects.
• Broad Poly Peripheral Support — Works with Poly Studio E70, E60, R30, and P15 cameras, EagleEye cameras, Poly Trio C60 audio, and the Poly TC8 or TC10 touch controller.
• Display Agnostic — Pairs with any Teams Rooms-certified display, so an existing screen can often be retained during a room refresh.
• Swap-Friendly Deployment — A standard port set means a failed unit can be replaced without recabling the room or re-terminating structured cable.
• Dual Management Path — Microsoft Teams Admin Center and MDM handle the compute endpoint while HP Poly Lens covers the attached Poly AV peripherals.

Typical Applications

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this include a camera, microphone, or touch controller?
No. This is the compute appliance only. A complete Teams Room also needs a camera, room audio, and a touch controller — most commonly a Poly TC10 or TC8. Tell Creation Networks the room dimensions and seating count and we can quote the full configuration.

Why choose a room PC over an all-in-one video bar?
A Windows room PC keeps the room inside standard IT tooling for imaging, patching, MDM enrollment, and endpoint security, and it gives an identical Teams Rooms experience regardless of which camera and audio devices are attached. An Android appliance such as the Poly Studio G62 removes Windows management from the room entirely, which some organizations prefer. The decision usually follows IT policy rather than room size.

Is a Microsoft Teams Rooms license included?
No. The unit provides the certified hardware platform. Each room requires a Microsoft Teams Rooms Pro or Basic license purchased separately through Microsoft or your licensing partner.

Which Poly cameras and audio devices does it pair with?
Poly Studio E70, Studio E60, Studio R30, and Studio P15 cameras, EagleEye cameras, and Poly Trio C60 audio, with room control from a Poly TC8 or TC10 touch controller. Table pickup can be extended with a Poly Studio table microphone in longer rooms.

How is it mounted and cabled?
The compact headless chassis mounts under a table, behind the display, or inside a credenza. Cabling is conventional — HDMI to the display, USB Type-A or Type-C to the camera and audio device, one Gigabit Ethernet drop, and an external AC adapter for power. No proprietary interconnects are required.

Can we keep our existing room display?
Usually. The unit pairs with any Microsoft Teams Rooms-certified display over HDMI, so a room refresh can often retain the existing screen and mount and replace only the compute and peripherals.

How do we confirm the exact hardware configuration before ordering?
Room PC platforms are revised over the life of a listing. Request the current configuration sheet for this part number from Creation Networks before you certify an image, driver set, or security baseline, and before committing to a multi-room rollout standard.

What warranty and support are available?
The unit carries the manufacturer's standard limited warranty. Extended HP Poly+ coverage is available for the Poly AV peripherals in the room; contact Creation Networks to confirm current warranty terms for this part number and to align coverage across the full room build.
