This particular model;

• Has the older, larger size USB-A dongle
• Is certified for use with MS Teams. Find out what that means below.

Teams Certified.  Functionality can depend on how you use Teams and the package you have but in general a Teams certified speaker will allow you some shortcuts into Teams and its functions and potentially some Teams alert notifications. If you don’t use it with Teams, it will work as a UC speaker with 99.9% of applications. UC stands for ‘Unified Communications’ , essentially that just means it’s not certifed for Teams but is certified for other things. It will still work with Teams, giving you audio, you just won’t get those shortcuts or notifications) and, like the MS version can be used with other softphones and applications. Standard (or ‘UC’) versions are certified for use with all leading UC platforms such as Google Meet and Zoom and will work with any application regardless.

Why does it come with a USB dongle, why not just use Bluetooth on my laptop? 

The simple fact is you will get the possible audio, best control & customisation and best range when you use the dongle. Skip the next bit if you’re happy to just trust us on that one!

• Range –  You can go further from your PC if you’re connecting via the dongle.  Computer BT range can be as low as only 2-5m.
• Call Quality –  The dongle functions as an audio processor, assuring the best audio experience through wideband audio. If you don’t use the dongle, what you and clients hear just won’t be as clear and natural sounding.
• Customisation –  Using the Jabra Direct app, you can make changes to how your unit behaves –  eg prioritising mobile calls or spoken alerts vs tones
