Open issues

• Exclusion zones set in Bose Work Configuration may be less effective in suppressing audio from specific areas of the room.

• VB-S camera view (zoom ratio) may be momentarily closer than intended upon joining a meeting.

• When a Videobar device is connected to a Mac via USB or Bluetooth, the computer’s volume control may be disabled.

• When using Videobar device on a Windows computer, the camera image will not be visible in both the Bose Work Configuration and Microsoft Teams apps simultaneously. This is because the camera on a Windows computer can be used by only one application at a time.

• When using Videobar VB-S with Microsoft Teams, using the infrared remote control to mute VB-S will activate the mute indicator on VB-S, but the mute indicator in the Teams app may not be in sync.

• When using the Bose Work Configuration Web UI, the browser may need to be refreshed to properly display all tabs.

• When using the Bose Work Management app on Windows 10, the computer may need to be restarted after changing Wi-Fi networks in order for VB-S devices to appear in the Device List.

• Videobar devices with old firmware (v1.0–v1.2) cannot be added to the Device List by entering their IP addresses manually in the Bose Work Management app.

• When exiting low-power/standby mode (after 2 hours of inactivity and no network or USB connection), Videobar VB-S may behave inconsistently. We recommend powercycling/rebooting VB-S by disconnecting its power supply and then reconnecting it. To prevent the issue in the future, use the Bose Work Configuration app or web UI to disable the low-power mode (click the Configuration tab, click System, and set the Low Power Mode switch to Disabled). An error message may appear in the Bose Work Configuration app or WebUI but will disappear after connecting to a new device.
