TV Cart with Polycom Camera on top of the Screen


Some rooms on Campus have Polycom units on carts for remote learning. 

The camera works with a PC on the tray below the monitor. 


Make sure the power button has been pressed on the PC, and the TV monitor power has been turned on with the Samsung remote control.

* The power button on the remote is located at the top left and consists of a red, circular button.

  • After opening a Zoom Meeting, the Poly unit connects automatically. 
  • If not, go to Audio Settings in the lower left hand side of the screen and select "Echo Cancelling Speakerphone (Polycom Studio)".
    • We recommend doing a mic and speaker test via the Zoom settings.

    • The Triangular Extension mic can be moved to the most effective area in the room. 
    • If the middle light is red, it is muted. Pressing it will unmute the mic.
      • The middle light will turn green when unmuted.
