Introducing Poly Trio Pass-through

Poly is pleased to announce the release of Poly Trio Pass-through v1.0.2 for Windows 10.

Using the Poly Trio Pass-through application, you can connect a Windows 10 computer to a Poly Trio 8500 or 8800 system via a USB 2.0 cable and use the system’s microphones, speakers, and connected cameras as USB devices for your various communication clients. Using the passthrough application you can also mirror your computer screen onto any monitors connected to a paired Poly Trio Visual+ or VisualPro system.

Install the Application

You must install Poly Trio Pass-through onto your computer before connecting the computer to the phone. Installing, upgrading, or uninstalling the Poly Trio Pass-through application requires administrative rights.

  2. Select Conference Phones and either the Polycom Trio 8500 or Polycom Trio 8800.
