Introduction
The Lenovo View is an all-in-one (compute + microphones + camera + speaker +
display) device purpose-built for personal meetings and collaboration. Its
design features an 8” touch panel with a unique design capable of rotating
from landscape to portrait. No other hardware is needed to operate a
ThinkSmart View.
Microphones are integrated into the top of the device and a speaker is located
on the left-hand side of the display (in landscape orientation). The
microphone array on the ThinkSmart View is tuned to clearly capture voice
audio and filter out ambient noise. The camera and privacy shutter are on the
right-hand side. This enables audio, video, and content sharing capabilities
from a desk or tabletop.
Target Use Cases
ThinkSmart View can be used in many different use cases in the modern workplace. Out of the box, it is ideal for a desk or office. The device can also be used in huddle rooms and phone booths. The view is best used as a personal device for calls and meetings.

All meeting content, such as videos from remote participants and desktop or slide sharing content will be seen on display.

Using ThinkSmart View as a Common Area Phone
Your View can be set up as a Common Area Phone (CAP). CAP devices are
typically placed in an area like a lobby, huddle room, phone booth, or another
area that is available for many people to make a call.
Types of Common Area Phone Licenses:
CAP account| You have call capability. You also have the searching capability
if your system administrator enables it on the Microsoft Teams Admin Center
---|---
Resource account| You have calls capability and can join a scheduled meeting
CAP Account
You have access to certain features for the common area phones:
- CAP account: You have calls capability. You also have the searching capability if your system administrator enables it on Microsoft Teams & Skype for Business Admin Center.
- Meeting account: You have call capability and can join the scheduled meeting.
Device Management
ThinkSmart View is a managed device for IT organizations. As an admin, you can
manage Teams devices in your organization from the Microsoft Teams admin
center. You can view and manage the device inventory and do tasks such as
updating, restarting, and monitoring diagnostics for devices. You can also
create and assign configuration profiles to a device or groups of devices.
Here are some examples of how you can manage ThinkSmart View devices in your organization.
- Change device information
- Manage software updates
- Restart a device
- View device history
- View diagnostics
You can find more information about the Teams Admin Center and managing Teams devices here.
Microsoft Intune, also known as Microsoft Endpoint Manager, is the supported device management platform for Teams devices. If you have Microsoft Intune in your organization, devices are automatically enrolled in Intune. After a device is enrolled, device compliance is confirmed, and conditional access policies are applied to the device. You can find more information about Microsoft Intune here.
When devices are enrolled and managed in Intune, administrators can:
- See the devices enrolled and get an inventory of devices accessing organization resources.
- Configure devices so they meet your security and health standards. For example, you probably want to block jailbroken devices.
- Push certificates to devices so users can easily access your Wi-Fi network, or use a VPN to connect to your network.
- See reports on users and devices that are compliant, and not compliant.
- Remove organization data if a device is lost, stolen, or not used anymore.
There may be specific configurations that need to be enabled in the customer’s
tenant for the phones to successfully enroll into Intune.
If all the following conditions below are true, you will need to enable a
specific configuration setting in the Intune admin console to allow for a
successful enrollment:
- You are deploying a ThinkSmart View which is running Android OSP version 8.1
- You have connected your Intune tenant with managed Google Play in order to manage Android Enterprise devices.
- You have configured your enrollment restrictions such that Android work profile enrollment restrictions are applied to the end user account that you are using to enroll.
The recommended deployment configuration is (only one of these two is necessary):
-
Adjust your enrollment restrictions settings in Intune so that the user you are enrolling in the IP phone is not targeted with an Android work profile. This approach is recommended if you are managing Android
Enterprise work profile devices in the same Intune tenant as your Teams device. -
If you are not actively using Android Enterprise in your Intune tenant, you can remove the connection to managed Google Play following the directions here under “Disconnect your Android enterprise administrative account”. Disconnecting your Intune tenant from managed Google Play will disable Android Enterprise enrollment entirely for your tenant. Therefore, this option is only recommended if you are not managing any Android Enterprise devices in your Intune tenant.
Enabling Android device administrator enrollment in Intune will also allow ThinkSmart View devices to be enrolled and managed, including assigning policies.
