CollabOS Power Management helps you deploy your video conferencing rooms in an energy-efficient manner. Take control of your device's energy consumption with features like power savings mode, HDMI CEC support, and auto wake-up.

Logitech CollabOS devices including Rally Bar, Rally Bar Mini, RoomMate, Tap IP, and Tap Scheduler support Microsoft Teams Rooms Office Hours and Zoom Rooms Device Operation Time and Idle Time-Out.

CollabOS Power-Savings Features

1 Requires Tap or Tap IP to be connected to the room system

2 Default office hours setting is 08.00 am - 05.00 pm.

3 Will turn on/off the display whether there is a person detected in the room or not.

Service Provider Settings

CollabOS power management configurations are specific to service provider settings. For Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms please follow the instructions from the service provider.

Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android

The Teams Office Hours setting, which can be found in the Teams admin center, controls when the device turns on and off the display.

• All CollabOS Power Saving settings are grayed out because power saving is managed by Microsoft Teams admin center.

• The CollabOS auto wake-up settings are only applicable outside office hours. Displays will not turn off during office hours as specified by Microsoft

Zoom Rooms

Zoom Rooms Appliances offer two modes for power saving: Device Operation Time and Idle Timeout.

Please note, CollabOS power saving settings are grayed out because power saving is managed by Zoom Rooms Device Management Portal.

When Device Operation Time mode is enabled:

• Connected displays will remain on and low-power mode will not be enabled during the specified period. Learn how to enable it here.
• When outside of the configured Operation Time, CollabOS devices will turn off displays and go into a low-power state 15 minutes after the last activity. 

When Idle Time-Out mode is enabled:

• The displays will be turned off, Based on inactivity in the room. CollabOS devices will also enter a low-power state after the set idle time is reached. Idle time is configured in the Zoom Device Management Portal. Learn how to enable it here.
• The Idle Time-Out mode leverages the built-in AI Viewfinder to keep track of the people count and keeps it always ON for Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini.

• In-room configuration using a Logitech Tap IP as a controller, the display enters a dimmed low-power state.
• In-room configurations using a Logitech Tap as a controller, to conserve energy the display on the Tap is also powered down.

• We recommend using Device Operation Time mode for this room configuration

• When there is an activity in the room, using the built-in AI Viewfinder, Idle Time-Out mode will wake up the displays and bring the device out of a low-power state.

• Once an activity is detected in the room it could take 30 seconds to a minute for Zoom Rooms Appliance mode to wake up the displays.

• In room configuration using a Logitech Tap IP as a controller, Touching the controller will wake up the display within seconds.

• Rally Bar, Rally Bar Mini, and RoomMate will use the proximity sensor on Tap and Tap IP to wake up Zoom Rooms in a future CollabOS update.

CollabOS Device Settings
