Swytch Configuration Guide
Prerequisites:
Set the default devices in your Room System
It is important to do this to ensure that when your preferred or default devices always return to the Room System
Microsoft Teams Room
This is normally done as part of the initial setup of a Microsoft Teams Room Console
Google Meet Room
As part of managing your Google Meet Hardware, Set Default Peripherals
DisplayLink
Logitech Swytch integrates DisplayLink Plug and Display technology to enable up to 4K 60FPS display and camera through a single USB Connection. However, to enable this on users’ laptops requires a driver installation. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to push or pre-install these drivers on user’s laptops throughout your organization or site.
Installing DisplayLink Drivers
For Windows
Download the driver from www.displaylink.com/downloads/corporate and use the MSI Installer
For Mac
Download the driver from
https://www.displaylink.com/downloads/macos
Make sure to download the MacOS App version, NOT the Graphics software version
This is a kernel-level driver that requires more effort to deploy and is not as secure as the App version
Zoom Room
This can be done directly on the console during setup or remotely through Zoom Web Portal.
