Barco ClickShare CX-30 and CX-50 are certified for Microsoft Teams. Configuring them correctly ensures that when a presenter connects wirelessly, the room camera and microphone automatically attach to their Teams call. This guide walks through the complete setup.

What You Need

• Barco ClickShare CX-30 Gen2 or CX-50 Base Unit
• A USB camera certified for Teams (Yealink UVC84, Logitech Rally, Poly Studio, etc.)
• A USB microphone/speaker bar (or separate mic and speaker)
• A room display connected via HDMI to the Base Unit
• Network access (wired ethernet recommended)

Physical Setup

1. Connect the ClickShare Base Unit to the room display via HDMI
2. Connect your USB camera to a USB port on the Base Unit
3. Connect your USB audio device (mic/speaker) to another USB port on the Base Unit
4. Connect ethernet to the Base Unit
5. Power on the Base Unit

The CX-30 Base Unit has 2x USB-A ports for peripherals. The CX-50 has additional ports. All USB peripherals connected to the Base Unit are available to pass through to the presenter's laptop.

Base Unit Configuration

Access the Base Unit admin interface:

1. From a browser on the same network, navigate to the Base Unit's IP address (found on the home screen of the display)
2. Log in with admin credentials (default: admin/admin — change this immediately)
3. Navigate to: Configuration → Peripherals
4. Verify your camera and audio device appear in the connected devices list
5. Under USB Sharing, ensure it is set to Enabled

Configuring for Microsoft Teams

The ClickShare CX series works with Teams via USB passthrough — no special Teams configuration is required on the Base Unit side. Here is how the experience works:

1. Presenter enters the room and plugs the ClickShare Button into their laptop (or opens the ClickShare App)
2. Presenter clicks the Button once → their screen appears on the room display
3. Simultaneously, the room camera and microphone appear in the presenter's laptop as available USB devices
4. Presenter opens Microsoft Teams and starts or joins a meeting
5. In Teams video settings, select the ClickShare camera (it shows as the room camera name)
6. In Teams audio settings, select the ClickShare audio device
7. Camera and microphone are now live in the Teams call from the room's hardware

With the ClickShare App (not Button): The App version can be configured to automatically set the ClickShare camera and audio as the Teams defaults when you connect. Go to ClickShare App Settings → AV Settings → enable auto-switch.

XMS Cloud Management (Optional)

For organizations with multiple ClickShare units, Barco XMS Cloud provides central management:

• Push firmware updates to all Base Units simultaneously
• Monitor connection health and meeting analytics
• Configure security policies (WiFi credentials, PIN code, allowed networks)
• View room utilization data

Set up XMS Cloud at xms.barco.com and register each Base Unit's serial number.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Camera not appearing in Teams: Ensure USB Sharing is enabled in Base Unit settings. Try unplugging and re-plugging the camera. Verify the camera is Teams certified.

Audio echoing: The room speaker and microphone should not both be active simultaneously with the laptop's built-in mic/speaker. Select only the ClickShare audio device in Teams — do not use the laptop's built-in mic simultaneously.

Button not connecting: Button firmware must match Base Unit firmware. Update both via the admin interface or XMS Cloud.
