Does the Cisco Room Kit EQX work with Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet? Here's what it supports and how each one works. It works two ways: as an appliance that runs Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms or another platform on the device itself, or in USB mode connected to a laptop or room PC, so it works with any meeting app.
Compatibility at a glance
| Platform | Certified appliance | Works over USB | USB certified |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Teams / Teams Rooms | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Zoom / Zoom Rooms | Not certified | Yes | Not certified |
| Google Meet | Not certified | Yes | Not certified |

Based on Cisco's published compatibility. Certification can vary by firmware and configuration, so check the manufacturer's current list before a large rollout.
Room Kit EQX with Webex
Webex devices are registered to Control Hub and licensed per device. In USB mode the Room Kit EQX works with regular Webex on a laptop, with no room license. More on Webex
Room Kit EQX with Microsoft Teams Rooms
Teams Rooms devices sign in with a dedicated room resource account and need a Teams Rooms license (Basic or Pro) assigned to that account. In USB mode the Room Kit EQX works with regular Microsoft Teams on a laptop, with no room license. More on Microsoft Teams Rooms
Room Kit EQX with any other app (BYOD)
Over USB the Room Kit EQX is a standard camera, microphone and speaker, so it works with Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Webex, GoTo and others, including Zoom and Google Meet even though it isn't certified for them. More on BYOD rooms
Appliance or USB: which should you use?
Appliance mode gives the room a one-touch join button and no PC to maintain, but it ties the room to one main platform. USB mode lets anyone plug in a laptop and use whatever app the meeting is on. Many businesses run appliance mode for their main platform and use the BYOD/HDMI input for guests.
