What's New

Now Studio USB is supported in Poly Lens. This new support enables seamless management of inventory and device configurations right alongside our newest voice and video endpoints. You can remotely monitor, change settings, configure policies, and deploy software updates to your Studio USB devices, all from the Poly Lens portal.

To get started, enable provisioning in the Poly Lens portal by visiting your account settings in the Admin menu (under your profile avatar) > Manage Accounts > select the account you wish to onboard devices to > Device Provisioning.

Once provisioning is enabled, you can start to onboard your Studio USB devices. To onboard a Studio USB, use the Poly Companion app to connect the devices to a wireless network, then enter the provisioning credentials created from your Poly Lens portal in the provisioning section of the Companion app. Once configured, your Studio USB devices will be onboarded to your Poly Lens account where you can now manage your device inventory and tailor your device settings and software updates to your organization’s needs.

Today, Poly Lens has launched support for roles and permissions. These three new roles allow you to tailor your permissions and access across your organization, increasing both security and flexibility. To get started, Poly Lens admins can invite new account members (users) and adjust their roles by visiting the account settings in the Admin menu under your profile avatar (Admin menu > Manage Accounts > select the account you wish to configure roles for > Account Members).

Admin: Full Access, including the ability to invite and adjust roles of other account members.
Device Manager: Full access to all device management-based features, including device settings, device actions, device software updates, device policies, and site management.
Guest: Read-only access to general areas, including inventory and insights.

Note: With this update, Users are now called “Account Members” and have moved to a new location called “Manage Accounts” under the Admin menu in the top-right corner.

Now you can onboard your Poly G7500, Studio X30, and Studio X50 devices in bulk. Use DHCP to automatically register your video devices to a provisioning server, before initial system setup during unpacking and out of boxing, or after a system reset. This makes onboarding fleets of devices and managing at scale a breeze.

This feature requires Poly VideoOS version 3.2.1 or newer. For more detailed information on how to get started, visit our Poly Lens help documentation at https://info.lens.poly.com/docs/onboard/provisioning-video.

Now the VVX and CCX Series of desk phones are supported in Poly Lens. You can onboard, provision with settings configurations, remotely manage, and view insights.

You can add VVX and CCX Series desk phones to your Poly Lens account either individually or using a DHCP service for bulk onboarding. Intelligence built into Poly Lens will automatically update the devices to a Lens capable software version and automatically add them to your account inventory. To get started, enable the new provisioning functionality by visiting the account section within Poly Lens. Once provisioning is enabled, you can start to onboard your desk phones using those provisioning credentials.

Management tools for the VVX and CCX Series include both individual and policy-based bulk management capabilities, for both settings and software management. On top of that, the settings interface couldn’t be simpler. Poly Lens auto-parses thousands of settings into user-friendly categories making searching endlessly for the setting you want, a thing of the past.

When editing multiple settings across several different categories, a simple blue indicator will now inform you of any settings that have been changed, but not yet applied. This makes keeping track of multiple setting changes in one session a snap and limits the worry about applying any changes you didn’t mean to.

Also, on the main device details page, you can now reset the device back to factory default settings. This will restart your device, end active calls, and the device will be offline for several minutes during this process.

Introducing a way to now manage your Poly video devices in bulk. You can now onboard, remotely manage, and provision settings and software configuration on a single device or in bulk using policies. To get started, enable Device Provisioning by visiting the account section within Poly Lens.

Once provisioning is enabled, you can start to onboard new devices or add those provisioning credentials to your existing supported Poly video devices that you may already have onboarded to Poly Lens.

These new management tools for supported Poly video models include both individual and policy-based bulk management capabilities for both settings and software management. On top of that, the settings interface couldn’t be simpler. Poly Lens auto-parses thousands of settings into user-friendly categories making searching endlessly for the setting you want a thing of the past.

Supported on G7500, Studio X30, Studio X50. Requires software version 3.2+. Provisioning using DHCP coming soon.

You can now track where a policy is coming from using the new Inheritance field. In the settings of an individual device, you can now see where each setting is getting its controlling policy. Lens currently supports model-level and device-level policy. Settings without any Inheritance shown are still in the factory default configuration. This feature is supported on all devices that support provisioning-based management.

We spent a fair amount of time making things shiny and fixing things that we broke.

Here are some of the more notable items:

• Added tooltips to various device settings to help provide more context
• Fixed an error when the provisioning account hasn’t synced yet
• Made the device registration form even easier to use and fixed a few related bugs
• Corrected the counter when you remove a user
• Made sure the advanced XML editor isn’t blank when you return to it
• Adjusted the colors of the secondary button on provisioning page
• Added friendly names for device time zones
• Fixed a few errors on the user invite tool
• Adjusted the setting section on device settings for Poly Trios
• Fixed several bugs related to adding named rooms to sites
• Plus dozens more that are important, but not as exciting.

Manage your sites and rooms with expanded capabilities, including the ability to delete sites and rooms that aren’t needed anymore. Overall, enhancements include:

• Ability to remove sites and rooms one by one or as group
• Optimized page caching on device counts
• Capability to add and remove rooms directly from the Site viewer
• “Unassigned” field in Sites and Rooms will now only appear when devices are not assigned to a room or site

The address tool has been improved with real time address lookup, international formatting support, and flexible address inputs. Just start by typing in any address on the device registration or the site manager pages, and the lookup feature will return formatted results based what you have entered. Delivering the results, and behind the scenes, are two separate address look up services for flexibility and redundancy. The address field is also more flexible and allows everything from countries, cities, street address and everything in between to be set in the address field.
