Conference camera not detected by the room PC

What this error means

Logitech's documented checklist: reseat the USB connections, try a different USB port, test on another computer, and — their explicit warning — avoid third-party hubs and extension cables, which 'may not have adequate power or specifications.' That last one is the big office gotcha: passive USB 3.0 tops out around 3 meters, and conference rooms love long cable runs. Beyond that distance you need active/optical cabling (Logitech sells certified 10–45 m 'Strong' cables for exactly this). Firmware lives in Logi Sync now — the old standalone MeetUp updater is officially retired.

Symptoms

• Camera absent from Teams/Zoom device lists
• Works on a laptop, not the room PC
• Dies when routed through the fancy under-table hub

Try this first (safe DIY steps)

1. Reseat USB at both ends; try another port (prefer rear motherboard ports on desktops)
2. Bypass every hub/extender and connect direct — if that fixes it, the run length or hub is the problem
3. Test the bar on a laptop to split camera-vs-PC in one move
4. Check Logi Sync on the room PC for firmware updates
5. Long runs: use certified active cables, not passive extensions

Safety: power off before any physical intervention. Never bypass covers or interlocks — fuser areas run hot enough to burn.

When to call a technician

Cable-run redesign in a built-out room is AV-integrator work; the diagnosis above is free and usually conclusive.
