Fixes for the most common Poly G7500 problems, from the quickest checks to when to contact Poly. Start at the top: most issues are a setting, a cable or firmware.
What the G7500 has
Check the problem against what this model actually has:
- USB: 1 USB-C, 3 USB-A (5Gbps)
- Network: 1 Gigabit Ethernet; 3 LLN ports with PoE+/PSE
- Microphones: Up to three Poly IP microphone arrays (sold separately)
- In the box: Poly G7500, AC power adapter, Ethernet cable and Bluetooth remote control
Quick checks
- Restart the device: unplug power for 30 seconds, then reconnect.
- Reconnect the cables, using the ones that came in the box.
- Check that the G7500 is selected as the microphone and speaker in Teams, Zoom or Meet.
- Update the firmware. How
No picture on the displays or the room app won't start
- Check each display cable and the display inputs.
- Restart the unit from the touch controller, or by removing power for 30 seconds.
- Check the room account can still sign in (expired passwords and licenses are common causes).
- Apply pending OS and room software updates.
Camera or audio missing in the room app
- Reseat the USB cables at the unit; use the ports the manufacturer recommends for cameras and audio.
- Check the default camera, microphone and speaker in the room app's device settings.
- Restart the unit.
Keeps disconnecting or drops out
- Use the original cable and a direct port on the computer; long or cheap USB extensions cause dropouts.
- Turn off USB power saving on the computer (Windows: Device Manager → USB Root Hub → Power Management).
- Use wired Ethernet rather than Wi-Fi, and check the switch port for errors.
- Update firmware and the meeting app.
Won't turn on or status light is red/blinking
- Check the power adapter is the original one and firmly connected, and try another outlet.
- Unplug for 30 seconds and power it back on.
- Check the status light meaning in the user guide; a blinking light during startup or updates is often normal.
- If it never finishes starting, contact the manufacturer's support for a recovery.
When to contact Poly
