About Poly
Poly is owned by HP Inc. HP completed its purchase of Poly on 29 August 2022, and HP now sells the range as HP Poly.
Poly makes headsets, desk phones, video bars and the software that manages them, for offices, meeting rooms and contact centres. It was formed from two older names many IT teams still know: Plantronics and Polycom.
This page covers Poly. HP's other brands, from OmniBook laptops to HyperX gaming gear, have their own pages under HP.
Who owns Poly?
HP Inc. does. HP completed the acquisition on 29 August 2022, paying 40 dollars a share in cash. HP put the total enterprise value at about 3.3 billion dollars, including Poly's net debt.
HP called Poly a leading global provider of workplace collaboration solutions, and bought it to build out its hybrid work business.
So if you buy Poly gear today, HP is the company behind the warranty and support.
Is it Poly or HP Poly now?
HP Poly, on HP's own site. HP's page for the range is titled HP Poly Video and Voice Solutions, Formerly Polycom and Plantronics, and the product lines appear as HP Poly Headsets and HP Poly Phones.
Retail and catalogue data has been catching up. Icecat, which supplies product data to retailers, reported in November 2025 that Poly had been formally rebranded as HP Poly.
You'll still see plain Poly on older stock and older listings. It's the same range.
Where did Poly come from?
From Plantronics and Polycom. Plantronics, long known for professional headsets, completed its acquisition of Polycom, the conferencing equipment maker, on 2 July 2018.
In March 2019 the combined company relaunched under one name, Poly.
That's why some IT teams still talk about Plantronics headsets and Polycom phones. Those product families now sit under the HP Poly name.
What does Poly make?
Equipment and software for calls and meetings. HP describes the range as video conferencing, cameras, headsets, voice and software.
On Brandligo, five Poly lines have their own product pages: Poly Voyager and Poly Blackwire headsets, Poly Studio video bars, Poly phones, and Poly Lens, the management software. HP describes HP Poly Lens as giving centralised visibility and device administration.
If you're kitting out a meeting room or a team of remote workers, those are the five places to start.
Does Poly work with Microsoft Teams and Zoom?
Mostly, yes. HP's FAQ says HP Poly collaboration endpoints are certified for leading platforms including Microsoft Teams and Zoom.
There's a catch worth reading. HP also notes that Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet certifications for certain HP Poly products may still be pending.
So check the exact model against the platform your company uses before you order. Certification decides how well calling, buttons and room controls work.
Who is Poly for, and what should you check?
Poly is built for work: offices, meeting rooms, contact centres and remote teams. If you want a gaming headset, HP's HyperX brand is the better fit, and it has its own page here.
Before you buy, check platform certification for your exact model, as above. Check whether you'll manage devices centrally with Poly Lens. And for a large rollout, check how support and warranty run through HP in your country.
Buying older Plantronics or Polycom stock? Confirm it's still supported before you sign.
