In addition the above, we also recommend the following tips and best practices to ensure the best experience when using your headset.
- Manufacturer-specific Jabra Direct or Plantronics Hub software must be installed in order to use Jabra or Plantronics headsets with Fuze Desktop.
- Logitech devices do not require additional manufacturer-specific software.
- Currently, only USB headsets are supported.
- Devices that share a play action with the call button (or multi-purpose button), or advertise themselves as "handsfree" devices, often intended for mobile phones, are not currently supported.
- Fuze Desktop detects when a device is attached or detached while running.
- If more than one telephony-based device is attached, Fuze Desktop accepts input from each device and syncs LED states across each device.
- Currently you cannot purchase Logitech devices from Fuze directly.
