Using Poly Studio R30

Once you plug in the power cable, you can start using the Poly Studio R30 device.

Connect the Poly Studio R30 device to your laptop or computer with the USB cable. Additionally, you can also connect it to 

your Bluetooth host devices.

Set Poly Studio R30 as the Default Audio and Video Device

If you use the Poly Studio R30 device with a supported application for video calls, you may need to set Poly Studio R30 as 

the default audio and video device for your application.

For a better experience, Poly recommends that you use your Poly device as both the audio and video device for your 
meetings. Mixed video and audio sources may impact the performance of certain features. Possible scenarios include:

• If you don’t use the device’s speaker, Audio Echo Cancellation (AEC) may not work and the camera may have issues 

tracking the speaker in the room.

• If you don’t use the device’s microphone, the LED indicator can’t show the audio mute status of your meeting.

The following is a general procedure that you can refer to. Your application may use different terms or categories. 

Task

1 Go to your conferencing application’s Settings.
2 Find Audio Device and Video Device.
3 Choose Poly Studio R30 as the device for each category, then select Save.

Important: 

Make sure you use the same Poly Studio R30 audio source. For better audio quality, if you connect the 

Poly Studio R30 device to a computer over USB and Bluetooth at the same time, make sure you use the USB option for 
both audio input and output of your meeting.

Note: 

Some video conferencing applications mirror your video automatically, which may invert the video parameters 

on your video. Turn off the mirroring option to correct the inverted display.
