Jabra offers Microsoft Teams Rooms in two forms: the Android-based PanaCast Video Bar Systems (PanaCast 40 VBS, PanaCast 50 Video Bar System and PanaCast 55 VBS), which run Teams Rooms on Android directly on the bar with a touch controller, and the USB Jabra PanaCast 50, which serves as the camera and audio in Teams Rooms on Windows kits paired with a separate compute unit.
Jabra Teams Rooms lineup
| Model | Type | Room size | Key facts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jabra PanaCast 40 VBS | Android appliance bar | Huddle, small | 180° bar for small rooms; Teams/Zoom Rooms plus BYOD |
| Jabra PanaCast 50 Video Bar System | Android appliance bar + touch controller | Small, medium | 180° bar running Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms |
| Jabra PanaCast 55 VBS | Android appliance bar | Medium, large | 180° bar, dual HDMI, SpeakerMic expansion to 11 m |
| Jabra PanaCast 50 | USB video bar | Small, medium | 180° panoramic 4K; used with a Windows MTR compute or as BYOD |
All PanaCast room bars use a 180° panoramic camera. Because the camera sees the full width of the room, the bar can sit on a wall or under a display in a narrow room and still capture people sitting close to the screen.
Teams Rooms on Android vs Windows with Jabra
Android (Video Bar Systems)
- The Teams Rooms app runs on the bar. No separate PC.
- Fewer devices to patch and mount.
- Pair with the included or matched touch controller for one-touch join.
- Good fit for small and medium rooms that only need Teams.
Windows (PanaCast 50 USB + compute)
- Jabra has sold PanaCast 50 room kits built around third-party Teams Rooms compute. You can also pair a PanaCast 50 with other certified Windows compute, such as the Poly Studio 5 Room Compute.
- Windows gets some Teams Rooms features before Android and supports more peripherals and multi-display layouts.

Licensing
Every Teams Rooms device, Jabra included, signs in with a resource account that needs a Teams Rooms license: either Teams Rooms Basic (free, up to 25 rooms) or Teams Rooms Pro. See Teams Rooms license cost for the structure.
Accessories
- PanaCast 50 Screen Mount for VESA mounting above or below a TV.
- PanaCast 50 Table Stand for credenzas and tables.
- PanaCast 50 Remote for presets, pan/tilt and volume.
Setup outline
- Create the room's resource account and assign a Teams Rooms license.
- Mount the bar above or below the display, centered, at roughly seated eye level.
- Connect HDMI to the display, network and power. Pair the touch controller if it isn't pre-paired.
- Sign in to Teams on the device (sign-in code or username/password), then confirm firmware is current with Jabra's management tools.
- Run a test call before the room goes live. See how to test a video conferencing system.
