EmbravaBlynclight Standard

I was frustrating with the light flashing while someone try to call me as it doesn't comes flashing on/off. Only new computer not old one.

Update March 2022: I am raising my rating from 3 to 5 stars, because all of the issues identified in my original review have now been solved through software updates. Teams can be used to set status from the client side now without any issues, no network privileges needed. And as of the latest update, there is the option to turn off the light in manual mode. With those issues solved it does exactly what I need, and after nearly two years of daily home office use it is still working great.Original review:I bought this for the home office to let others know when I'm on a call or otherwise unavailable. It's a terrific concept and almost very good in execution, but the few problems I've encountered are enough to knock off a couple of stars.First, and most importantly for me, I can't get it to integrate with Teams without network administrator access. My office has switched to heavy use of Teams in 2020 while we are all virtual, and I thought something linked to my Teams status would be perfect for alerting the family to my availability. In order to do this, though, I was surprised to learn upon installation that the software requires administrator access. Note that this is NOT referring to administrator access for your computer (which I have--I'm working off my own personal machine), but rather administrator access for your Teams account/network. In a massive org like mine, the odds of getting an administrator to sign off on granting access to a random app that hasn't been fully vetted and tested within our network is less than zero. So Teams integration is out, and the usefulness of the product is significantly decreased. It appears there was once a client-side Teams option, which I imagine is what I need, but this is now depreciated.The second big limitation is that in manual mode there is no way to just switch off the light. All the connected modes have the option of certain statuses turn the light off, but in manual mode the only options are to set the light to one of the color choices. This just seems like an oversight in the software--clearly the light is capable of turning off while the software is running--but it's an annoying one (particularly since I can't set up the link to Teams).Overall I still think it's a very useful idea but in need of further fine tuning. Since none of the issues are with the hardware but rather the software that controls it, I'm hopeful that it will improve over time with future updates.

I expected something a lot larger, kinda like a police siren lol i didn't bother to check the measurements due to the high ratings. Despite this, it works a charm. Small size is perfect to attach on the side of the monitor.

I purchased this for use with Microsoft Teams, so that it would be clear when I was on a call.Installation was very easy - just plug it into your computer and install the software. Then pick the service you want to connect to and enter your credentials. The whole process didn't take more than 5 minutes.It's worked great for several months now. It quickly updates to show my status whenever I do anything in Microsoft Teams. Busy, away, on a call - all clearly indicated by a bright light above my desk. It's also very easy to customize the colors and blink-patterns for different things.

i got it a few weeks ago
