Busylight UC Omega USB Busy Light – LED Status Indicator for Office & Home Working – Call, Meeting & Focus Light – Works with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Webex & More

It's not as big as the pictures make out. It's about 1.5 inches high. The downloads were tricky to find. Used scripting to add light features other than teams activities and it works great.

This little unit is a great visual to be able to quickly see if other colleagues are on the phone, in do not disturb mode or to see and hear from across the office that your phone is ringing. I liked this so much that I purchased one for home so people know if I'm in a call or not and to hear when I have an incoming call so I don't have to wear my headset all of the time. Love how many major systems this device works with and that the development is ongoing to take advantage of new features in these systems.

I bought this because, despite my office door being closed, I was constantly interrupted during meetings. I use earbuds, so it's not always obvious that I’m in a meeting. The red light has been effective in stopping people from peering into my office window when my door is closed to check if I’m busy. I also really like that it turns blue and gives me an audible notification when someone starts a Teams meeting - this has saved me a few times when I didn’t see the meeting reminder and might have ended up being late.

Ottima luminosità, interfaccia con teams buona, plug and play confermato

These are fantastic. I had some minor difficulty getting it set up - you have to install multiple pieces of software in a particular order and they all run at all times. You can adjust the light manually via one program, but I recommend never touching the manual setting as it will override all of the automatic stuff. The less you mess with it, the better it works. I kind of wish they would simplify it down to a single package. Also, it turns red anytime any software accesses the camera or microphone. I use things like OBS and video editors like Davinci Resolve and these packages turn the light red even when I am not recording. These have sounds that are enabled by default and can be quite loud. For example if a scheduled meeting is starting, they can ring loudly. We went for 5 years doign remote work without a light, but I got fed up with interruptions and bought several of these fo rthe household members who do remote work and it has made a dramatic difference in how we operate. No one needs to shout or signal that we're ina call anymore. We have one mounted outside a bedroom door (these have sticky foam included for this purpose) so no more knocking on doors during calls or peeking in. one of those things we never knew how badly we needed it until after we had it

El hardware en sí no es malo, lo único que se le puede criticar es que no tiene conectividad inalámbrica y no se puede reemplazar el cable USB A con el que viene si se llega a romper (de poder se puede, desoldándolo, pero no es fácilmente reemplazable por el usuario). El software es terriblemente malo. En vez de haber un solo programa con plugins para Teams, Slack, Zoom, etc. hay que descargar e instalar software individualmente para cada uno de esas plataformas. Además, exige permisos de administrador (lo que complica las cosas para los que no son administradores de la computadora). Por otro lado, al menos el software para Teams anda muy mal. No reconoce reuniones ad-hoc y a veces queda mostrando un estado incorrecto (por ejemplo, muestra el color verde cuando uno está en una llamada, o rojo cuando uno está libre).
