Why Morbit Studio Doesn't Chase a Driver Count (And Why That's Better for You)
When you're evaluating meeting room monitoring platforms, it's tempting to judge them by a single number: how many device drivers do they support? It sounds like a reasonable proxy for coverage. In practice, it's the wrong question to ask, and answering it the way most vendors do creates real costs for you further down the line.
Start With the Platforms, Not the Drivers
Most meeting room estates run on Microsoft Teams or Zoom. Morbit Studio integrates directly with Microsoft Graph and the Zoom Marketplace, which means every device certified for those platforms is supported the moment you connect your tenant. That's over 60 manufacturers today, and the list grows automatically every time Microsoft or Zoom certifies new hardware. The certification programmes do the compatibility work, so you're never waiting on us to write a driver before your new room hardware is visible.
The Real Cost of a Driver Library
Building and maintaining thousands of individual device drivers sounds impressive, but it comes with two hidden problems:
Cost and decay — every driver needs ongoing maintenance as firmware updates roll out, and that cost gets built into the price every customer pays, whether they use those drivers or not.
Diminishing relevance — most organisations run a handful of device types at scale, not thousands.
Our Connected Devices feature covers the gap instead: any network-enabled device can be monitored, so nothing on your network estate is out of scope by default.
Depth Where It Matters
For the OEMs that matter most to our customers, we build direct integrations on demand — including Poly Lens, Yealink Management Cloud Service, Cisco Webex Control Hub and Neat Pulse, with Crestron launching this weekend. And when an engineer needs true device-level detail, Remote Connections opens the manufacturer's own management console securely from the browser, no VPN required, so that information is always current.
Just Because We Can, Doesn't Mean We Should
We could stream every possible metric onto a dashboard. We don't, because a day-to-day operations view should tell you whether a room is working and what to do if it isn't, not bury that answer in noise.
