Supported Devices — Appspace Certified: App Built-In

Appspace Certified devices have been fully validated by the Appspace Development and Quality Assurance teams. They are tested in Appspace QA labs against defined certification criteria, undergo full regression and compatibility testing with each Appspace release, and receive official Appspace support for certified functionality.

Appspace App Built-In devices are hardware products from Appspace's partners that come with the Appspace App pre-integrated directly into their firmware. These are typically workplace collaboration devices — such as video conferencing systems, room scheduling panels, and wireless presentation hubs — where Appspace functionality is available out of the box alongside the device's primary purpose.

Because Appspace is a secondary function on these devices, supported features may be more limited than on a dedicated Appspace device. Typical use cases include:

• Wallpaper or signage displays on idle room conferencing devices
• Wallpaper or signage displays via Appspace Lite on the vendor's device management portal
• Room scheduling with Appspace cards on purpose-built scheduling panels or smart signboards

For certification level details, see the Supported Devices Overview.

Cisco Webex and Collaboration Endpoints (CE)

Strengths

• Cisco Collaboration Endpoint devices are already in place for video conferencing — Appspace brings additional value to existing infrastructure without requiring new hardware.
• The Appspace integration does not interfere with Cisco functionality.
• Appspace goes beyond simple wallpaper changes, enabling scheduled content, Alerts, and Appspace Cards on these devices.
• Cisco administrators can access Appspace content management directly via Webex Control Hub to display digital signage when devices are not in use for video conferencing.

Challenges

• Continuously streaming content may increase bandwidth usage. See the Managing Bandwidth in Appspace guide for help.
• For CE 9.8 and earlier only: the integration requires an external Appspace App supported device (a caching device) on the same local network as the endpoints to upload content.
• For CE 9.8 and earlier only: mass registration requires a desktop tool developed by Cisco to install the macro.

Summary

Cisco Collaboration Endpoints are purpose-built for conference rooms; wallpaper and signage are secondary features. Content should be limited to images and cards, or Signage Mode should be enabled. Other than the caching device requirement for CE 9.8 and earlier, no new hardware investment is needed.

Guides

• Configure Appspace Signage for Cisco Webex Control Hub
• Setup Wallpaper Displays for Cisco Webex Share
• Setup Signage Mode for Cisco Webex Board and Webex Room Series

Crestron

Strengths

• Crestron develops its own hardware, firmware, and management software.
• A proprietary device management platform is available for additional hardware management, including automatic firmware updates.
• Mercury and AirMedia devices are already in place for video conferencing and screen sharing — Appspace adds digital signage to existing infrastructure.
• The TSS panel's slim, fan-less, PoE design makes it ideal for room booking, whether mounted outside a room or placed on a stand inside.
• The Appspace App is part of the Crestron firmware, so setup only requires enabling the feature — no separate installation needed.

Challenges

• Crestron devices stream all content from Appspace; if the device reboots while offline, it cannot be used until network connectivity is restored.
• Continuously streaming content may increase bandwidth usage. See the Managing Bandwidth in Appspace guide for help.

Summary

Crestron Mercury and AirMedia devices are purpose-built for conference rooms; digital signage is a secondary feature and content should be limited to simple images and cards. Crestron TSS panels are purpose-built for room booking; content should be limited to the Room Schedule card.

• The Appspace integration does not interfere with Google Meet functionality; content is displayed only when the device is idle between meetings.
• ChromeOS provides industry-leading HTML5 compatibility, ensuring reliable content rendering.
• Setup requires only the Appspace PWA URL — no native app installation is needed.

Challenges

• Google Meet devices stream all content from Appspace; if the device reboots while offline, it cannot display content until network connectivity is restored.
• Continuously streaming content may increase bandwidth usage. See the Managing Bandwidth in Appspace guide for help.
• Supported use cases are limited to wallpaper and screensavers; full signage features available on dedicated Appspace devices are not supported.
• Google Chrome Enterprise (previously Chrome Device Management) is required to manage Google Meet devices at scale.

Summary

Google Meet devices are purpose-built for video conferencing; wallpaper and screensaver display via Appspace is a secondary feature. Content delivery relies on the Appspace PWA URL and is limited to images and cards. No new hardware investment is required beyond the existing Google Meet setup.

• The Appspace integration does not interfere with MTR functionality; signage is displayed only when the device is not in an active Teams meeting.
• Setup is straightforward: simply navigate to the Appspace PWA URL within the MTR device's browser or kiosk configuration.
• Compatible with Crestron UC Series devices, which are widely deployed in enterprise meeting rooms.

Challenges

• MTR devices stream all content from Appspace; if the device reboots while offline, it cannot display content until network connectivity is restored.
• Continuously streaming content may increase bandwidth usage. See the Managing Bandwidth in Appspace guide for help.
• Signage capabilities are limited to the Appspace PWA; advanced features requiring a native app installation are not supported on this platform.
• Content should be kept simple — images and cards are recommended, as video-heavy playlists may impact device performance.

Poly

Strengths

• Poly devices are Appspace Certified built-in devices providing a secure, reliable, and seamless experience.
• Appspace digital signage is visible on the display when the device is not in use for video calls or presentations.
• Enabling Appspace via the Poly Lens device management software can be done in just a few clicks.

Challenges

• Poly devices stream all content from the Appspace server and do not use local storage for caching. This can cause bandwidth overages with video-heavy content. By default, devices are in Low Bandwidth Mode, which skips video. You may change this setting, but be aware of the potential impact on bandwidth usage.
• Continuously streaming content may increase bandwidth usage. See the Managing Bandwidth in Appspace guide for help.

Summary

Poly G Series and Studio Series devices extend employee communication to collaborative spaces, making use of displays that would otherwise be idle between meetings.

Device Limitations

• Audio and video with audio are not recommended due to limited volume controls, which may be disruptive during playback.
• Advanced channels and live stream channels are not supported.
• Poly devices only support Playlist Channel content assigned with the Autoplay published channels channel selection mode. Channel Browsing playback mode is not supported.
