Updated at May 24th, 2024

Procedure


Consult your network administrator and the Microsoft Teams Deployment Overview (provided by Microsoft) for details on getting your Microsoft Teams Room compute device running.

The Q-SYS Control for MTR.exe installer is included with the Q-SYS Designer download bundle. Or, you can download separately from the Q-SYS Software and Firmware website. Follow this procedure to install the application on the Microsoft Teams Room compute.

Requirements

Physical Components

  • Windows Based Microsoft Teams Room Compute and Controller
  • Q-SYS Core processor connected to the same network as the Microsoft Teams Room Compute and Controller device.

Software Components

  • Q-SYS Designer Software v9.0.0 or higher
  • Q-SYS Software Feature License for Microsoft Teams Rooms
    • The Q-SYS Software Feature License for Microsoft Teams Rooms is a single SKU that enables two software features on the Q-SYS Core processor:
      • Q-SYS Scripting Engine
      • Q-SYS UCI Deployment
  • Q-SYS Control for Microsoft Teams Rooms
    • Q-SYS Control for MTR is an application, installed on the Microsoft Teams Room compute via .exe installer, that allows the Teams Room console to display any Q-SYS UCI deployed on the Core – typically for room control. An icon appears on the Teams Room touch panel to switch over to Room Control mode to view the Q-SYS UCI. You can then switch back to the native Teams Room console display when ready.
    • The Q-SYS Control for MTR .exe installer is included with the Q-SYS Designer Software download and also available separately from the Q-SYS Software and Firmware website
