How Busylight works with your UC Platform
Once you have the right software installed, your Busylight will automatically change color based on your current status in your UC platform (Teams, Zoom, etc.).
For example, when you're in a meeting, the light will automatically show a "Busy" status (red), and when you're available, it will show an "Available" status (green).
This is all synchronized in real-time with your platform's status.
