Q&A from Episode 58
Q. Will cameras that can send multiple streams be able to do so? E.g. Poly E70 or Huddly Crew?
A1. Yes, so Huddly crew is recognised as one camera, but you could have another L1 connected
A2. Some of them are in the manifest on the MTR as multiple cameras, and you must pick the right one
Q. Who chooses the camera shot? The room or the remote participants?
A1. In the case of multi-camera view – the far end.
A2. Remote participant would manually select the camera feed they want to see
Q. Which other OEMs NUCs are affected by the Windows 10 EOL in MTRs?
A. Lenovo Poly Tiny, and Lenovo Logi Tiny. Oh and the Crestron RL2 Flex kit
Q. Which OEMs show people count in the Teams Room Pro Portal?
A. All the Huddly cameras doesn’t do Average people count in usage reports in Pro portal. Jabra does.
Q. When will DTEN’s AOSP be available?
A. FW should be pushed to the TAC in February. Some customers and TAP users may already have this release
Q. If we don’t want to push any updates – do you recommend we move it to Final validation vs General, so we don’t have to keep “pausing updates” every 15 days or so
A. Apps are 15 days after release, firmware is 30 days after release, so yes, put devices on the Final ring to get the updates last. You can always manually update a device to test.
Q. How many Cisco Navigator versions are there?
A. The Cisco Navigator is available in 2 hardware versions. One is only a touch controller, and the other is a Panel that has been certified now.
Q. Is there plans to manage MTRoA updates in Pro Portal?
A. One day the aim is to have everything in the Pro Portal.
Q. Is there a Barco ClickShare whitepaper for AV Integration?
A. Yes, here it is https://www.barco.com/en/support/docs/tde9702
Q. How are DTEN Updates managed?
A. When provisioned for MTRA, DTEN Android-based devices will only update the FW and Teams App from the TAC or PMP. DTEN support can also push the FW if needed under a support ticket. DTEN support can’t push Teams app updates.
Q. One last question – have there been any news or updates whether Teams Live Events will be supported in MTR-A?
A. Yes, it is planned for support later this year. Connecting as a presenter works today, here’s a video.
Q. Any roadmap insights when touchback control via USB-C or HDMI/USB cable will be possible on MTR-A? With MTR-W this is possible for years
A. On devices like Neat Boards, touchback is supported on Windows laptops.
Q. Any roadmap insights if Intelligent speaker capability will come for MTR-A this year and if this will come earlier on MDEP devices?
A. Announced for April release. It is not dependent on the operating system such as MDEP.
Q. Whiteboard in MTR-A, I have an issue with a dual-screen-setup. I can control the whole Teams UI with touch by hand/fingers and also with an passive pen (delivered with the LFD). But as soon as I start a Whiteboard, the pen is not recognized anymore on the screen, but you see a mice courser on the other screen. Any ideas on this? Would be happy for any feedback
A1. MTRoA doesn’t support dual screen and interactive at the same time. The basic reason is that Android always assigns interactivity to screen one, and Microsoft always assigns content and whiteboard to screen two. with windows you have a settings page where you can calibrate a touch screen but in android there is no such setting and no way to map touch to screen two. Some day one of the Android vendors, or maybe MDEP might support, but today, sorry you are out of luck 
A2. Yes, this was pointed out after DTEN started shipping their certified MTRA D7X-A and MSFT enabled whiteboard for MTRA. Ilya noted that none of the Android All-in-Ones (AIO) displays from OEMs were certified for dual displays. There was a hope when the MTRA update back before Ignite that included the ability to enable/disable dual screens would provide content and camera mapping for displays. The only way right now to do duals with AIO displays is to disable the touch functions in the Teams app settings at the device and pair a room controller. Unfortunately, that defeats the purpose of using the touch in an AIO for whiteboarding and annotation.
