Mass issues with Headset Controls

Hi UnrulyCryptid Welcome to the GoTo Community
In addition to the tips mkeaton mentions (great to see you mk!) you may want to refer to this article here to ensure that the impacted users have enabled the headset option in the app settings.
Hi,
My team and I own the Poly Voyager Focus 2 Series and are experiencing the same issue. When we first received them, the team was able to answer calls by using the headset button, later after the last update, that functionality was lost. Now you hear "Answering call" but it never does.
I attempted using old softphone version to no avail. Checked 'handset control' ON, which now the software seems to disable after a while, but to no avail. Even tried the web version, no luck.
I have tried to contact GoTo support and also Polycom support to no avail. What I have found to work is to disable Teams and Poly Lense from starting up on boot. GoTo app conflicts with both Teams and Poly Lens. Then I reboot and it seems to be working. It is the web hid protocol that they seem to fight over and gets weird if all the apps start up at once.
It doesn't make sense that we can't use Teams at the same time, Teams is an industry standard... but this workaround has been working so far.UnrulyCryptid thanks for sharing your workaround.
I see that your case was escalated to a Level 2 agent to investigate further, an email was sent on 7/8 requesting a follow-up. I would recommend letting them take a look.
Thanks again for sharing your experience.Thank you UnrulyCryptid for the workaround, we do not have Teams installed in our system, I did have PolyLens installed, I uninstalled it and rebooted my GoTo app, ensuring the headset control option was enabled. Now I have gained functionality of answering calls again via the button on the headset, as well as hanging up the calls.
I wish we could place the calls on hold again by pushing the button, but instead it hangs up.
Still better than it was previously, now our team can answer those calls while away from their desks.
Thanks for the tip!
Well, it seems that I was too hasty and assumed since it worked for me, it would work the same way for the rest of the team. Unfortunately, I was wrong on my assumption, my team tried the same process as I did, but the headsets still are unable to answer calls from pushing the answer button.
I guess we're standing by a permanent solution. 😥
