Poly X HDMI Video and Audio Sharing (No Active Teams Meeting)

I ran into a situation where HDMI from a Windows laptop to mirror the display on the Poly X would only show video on the screen. Audio would not pass through. 

 

I came across a post from 2021 called Poly x50 HDMI Ingest for Teams 3.4.0-292042 that noted:

 

The MTRoA does not support Audio via HDMI, unlike the MTRoW. Please work with our Partner Microsoft if you require this feature!

 

Is this limitation still in place for MTRoA? 


My Poly X details: 

Teams Admin Agent
1.0.0.202205230848.product
Up to date
 
Firmware
3.14.1.374010
Up to date
 
Company Portal App
5.0.5484.0
Up to date
 
OEM Agent App
3.11-1008016
Up to date
 
Teams App
1449/1.0.96.2022120503
Up to date


Is my only option to add a USB cable into the mix and enable Device Mode to allow the laptop to mirror the desktop via HDMI and then use the camera and speakers over USB for the presentation through the Poly X over the display?

Hello @SR_MCSE  

 

welcome back to the Poly community

 

to my own personal knowledge, this seems this is not yet a feature on MTRoA and only on MTRoW

 

Our hardware is capable as other modes show.

 

Please work with our Partner Microsoft on this

 

Best Regards

Appreciate the reply. 

 

I will give Device Mode a try. Seems that this is now enabled by default in the current releases.
