Poly Microsoft Teams Room Base Kit HP Mini PC
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Poly Microsoft Teams Room Base Kit with HP Mini PC, GC8 Controller and 10 m USB Cable (9J6B8AA) - Local Warranty
Poly Microsoft Teams Room Base Kit — Certified Teams Compute with GC8 Touch Control
The Poly Microsoft Teams Room Base Kit pairs an HP Mini Conferencing PC with Microsoft Teams Rooms software pre-installed and a Poly GC8 8-inch touch controller, connected by a 10 m optical USB cable. It supplies the compute and control half of a Teams Room so you can pick the camera and audio to suit the space. For Singapore organisations standardising Teams Rooms across rooms of different sizes, one compute SKU underneath every room keeps imaging, patching and support consistent.
Intel Core i7 vPro Compute with Teams Rooms Pre-Installed
The HP Mini Conferencing PC runs an Intel Core i7-12700T (12 cores, 20 threads, up to 4.7 GHz) on the Intel Q670 vPro chipset, with 16 GB DDR5-4800 and a 256 GB PCIe NVMe SSD. HP states Microsoft Teams Rooms Basic software is pre-installed, so the unit arrives ready to enrol rather than ready to build.
Poly GC8 Touch Controller with 10 m Optical USB Reach
The GC8 gives an 8-inch WXGA IPS touchscreen for one-touch join, content sharing and room control, with USB-C, USB-A, 3.5 mm audio and Mini HDMI on the controller itself. The kit includes a 10 m optical USB cable so the controller can sit on the table while the PC lives at the display — and HP supports extension to 100 m over CAT5e with a USB 2.0 extender kit for larger rooms.
Built and Tested for Continuous Room Duty
HP states the compute is designed to pass 120,000 hours of the HP Total Test Process and has undergone MIL-STD 810 testing, with an optional removable dust filter. In a meeting room that runs all day, every day, that matters more than headline specifications.

HP's published port list on this kit's spec sheet reproduces the GC8's ports rather than the PC's, so the PC's own port complement is not stated here. HP also does not publish PoE support, Zoom Rooms certification or VESA mounting hardware for this kit, so none is claimed.
Compatibility & Software Support
This kit is Microsoft Teams Certified, with Microsoft Teams Rooms Basic pre-installed on the HP Mini Conferencing PC. A Microsoft Teams Rooms Pro licence, if required, is purchased separately from Microsoft.
Controller connection: the GC8 connects to the room compute over USB. HP names two supported reach options — an active optical cable (10 m or longer, as supplied with this kit) or a USB 2.0 extender kit supporting up to 100 m over CAT5e. The Poly BYOD Kit Extender is the 100 m CAT5e USB 2.0 extender in Poly's own range.
To finish the room add a Poly camera and room audio — or start instead from one of the complete Poly Studio room kits listed below, which pair this compute approach with a matched camera. Device management and firmware updates run through Poly Lens. Zoom Rooms certification is not stated for this kit; for a Zoom Rooms compute base see the Poly Zoom Room Base Kit.
