The Poly Trio C60 has been a consistently popular choice in UK meeting rooms for several years. A Teams and Zoom certified conference phone with 360 degree microphone coverage, touch display and optional content sharing capability. It sits in a product category, the dedicated conference phone, that has come under genuine pressure from all-in-one video bars over the last three years.

The honest question for 2026 is whether a dedicated audio conference phone is still the right choice for your room or whether the use case has moved to a point where a video bar serves better. The answer depends entirely on what the room is actually used for.

What the Poly Trio C60 Actually Is

Teams and Zoom certified conference phone

The Poly Trio C60 is a standalone conference phone designed for audio-first meeting rooms. Microphone, speaker and touch display in one unit. Microsoft Teams and Zoom certified. It runs Teams or Zoom directly on the device and provides calendar integration and one-tap call joining without a separate compute unit.

360 degree microphone coverage

Three microphone arrays providing 360 degree room coverage. The Trio C60 picks up voices from across a meeting table without directional positioning. For rooms where audio quality is the priority and video is secondary, the microphone performance is genuinely strong. This is where the Trio C60 earns its place.

Content sharing via connected display

The Trio C60 can connect to a room display for content sharing in hybrid calls. It is not a video bar, no camera is included in the standard unit. For rooms that need camera capability alongside the Trio C60, a separate USB camera or video bar is required. Factor this into the total room cost.

Expansion microphone support

Supports Poly expansion microphones for larger rooms where the standard unit cannot reach all participants. Extend coverage to the full table without a full ceiling microphone array. Useful for boardrooms of up to twelve people that are used primarily for audio calls.

Is the Poly Trio C60 Right for Your Room?

The Trio C60 is the right choice if

•       Audio calls and conference calls are the primary use case

•       Remote participants do not need to see the room

•       Room is used by small to medium groups of up to ten people

•       Budget is limited and video is not a priority for this specific room

•       An existing display is already in the room for content sharing when needed

Consider a video bar instead if

•       Hybrid meetings where remote participants need to see the room are common

•       Camera coverage is needed alongside audio in most calls

•       The room holds six or more people and is used for video calls daily, read our video bar comparison for options

•       One-device all-in-one simplicity is preferred over a phone plus separate camera

•       Future-proofing against increasing hybrid expectations is a priority

SPOR Group installs the Poly Trio C60 and the full Poly range across UK corporate estates. If a video bar is the better fit for the use case, we will say so before any hardware is ordered. Every installation is commissioned and monitored via SPORTrack from day one.
