Poly announced that its award-winning line of Studio X video bars will be the first Android-based, single codec video appliances for Google Meet. The Studio X Family joins Poly’s growing list of devices certified for Google Meet, Google Voice, and Chrome OS, so users can look and sound their best on every call.
The entire Poly Studio X family, including Poly Studio X30, Studio X50, Studio X70, and the TC8 controller (an intuitive 8″ high-resolution touch display that lets Google Meet customers access meetings with ease) will be the first Android-based appliances to offer a native Google Meet experience and deliver a streamlined, purpose-built experience for any meeting room.
Each video bar in the Poly Studio X family features smart, broadcast-quality video for meeting rooms of all sizes with innovative capabilities, including:
- Poly DirectorAI – Smart camera technology that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to deliver real-time automatic transitions, framing, and tracking
- Audio innovations such as NoiseBlockAI and Acoustic Fence technologies block out unwanted background noise
- People framing – A Poly DirectorAI feature that gives an up-close view of each meeting participant, Poly is the only partner that delivers people framing with advanced AI capabilities for Google Meet (available on the Studio X70)
“Poly’s innovative video solutions offer customers a fantastic meeting experience, which is why we are so pleased to bring Google Meet to Poly’s Studio X30, X50, and X70,” said David Citron, Director of Product, Google Meet and Voice. “Alongside partners like Poly, we are committed to equipping today’s hybrid workforce with technology that makes video collaboration effective for all participants, no matter where they work.”
The Poly Studio X family provides a first-of-its-kind comprehensive room solution for Google Meet rooms of all sizes (Studio X30 for small rooms, Studio X50 for medium rooms, Studio X70 for large rooms), featuring:
Full HD video with Poly DirectorAI smart camera experiences
- Room-filling audio and crystal-clear microphone pickup

According to a recent report issued by Frost & Sullivani, top concerns as it relates to the future of hybrid work are lack of meeting equity, lack of proper technology, and distractions at home. Poly’s suite of pro-grade audio and video gear is designed to eliminate distracting background noise and deliver total meeting equity.
