Embrava Blynclight status light
What is a Blynclight?

The busy light that started it all.


The Blynclight is the original Embrava busy light. A small RGB indicator that sits on your desk, monitor, or office partition and shows your colleagues when you're on a call, in focus time, or free to chat. It runs on USB. No battery to charge, no Bluetooth to pair, no driver to install. Plug it into your laptop or dock and the Embrava Connect companion app handles the rest.

Embrava invented the busy light category, and the Blynclight has been the reference design ever since. It's the device behind the lights you see on desks all over the Fortune 500. It works with the unified communications stack you already run, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Slack, Webex, Cisco Jabber, RingCentral, Genesys, and a dozen others, and changes color automatically the moment your presence changes.

It's built for the modern office reality: open-plan floors, hot desks, hybrid teams, and home-office setups that need to look right on every call. The light is visible across the floor, but the diffused matte cube never glares into the camera or your eyes. The same Blynclight that sits at your desk in the office goes home in your bag for remote days. Same software. Same colors. Same workflow.

Built for everyone in the building

Better for your people.
Better for your business.

For Employees

Stay in the zone

Colleagues see your status from across the floor, fewer taps on the shoulder while you're heads-down.

Automatic, not manual

The light syncs with your UC app's presence. You don't change a thing, your status updates on its own.

Works at home, too

Same light, same software, whether you're at HQ, a hot desk, or your kitchen table.

For the Business

Higher contact-center efficiency

Agents stay in flow on calls. Colleagues know not to interrupt. Throughput goes up.

Open-plan friendly

The whole point of open-plan offices is collaboration, until it becomes interruption. Blynclight makes the difference visible.

Centrally deployable

Enterprise Admin Console + Group Policy. Push one configuration to every Blynclight in the fleet.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

What is a busy light?

A busy light is a small LED indicator that sits on your desk or monitor and shows your real-time presence to anyone walking past. It connects to your computer over USB and changes color based on what you're doing: red on a call, green when you're free, amber when you've stepped away. Embrava invented the category, and the Blynclight is the original.

Does the Blynclight work with Microsoft Teams?

Yes. The Blynclight syncs with Microsoft Teams presence out of the box through Embrava Connect, a Microsoft-certified Teams integration. The light follows your Teams status automatically: in a meeting, on a call, do not disturb, available, or away.

Can I use a Blynclight at home?

Yes. The Blynclight is just as useful in a home office as it is on a corporate floor. The same USB cable and the same Embrava Connect app work on any Windows or macOS laptop. Many companies issue a Blynclight per employee specifically because it travels between desks at HQ, hot desks, and home setups.

What's the difference between the Blynclight Standard and Blynclight Plus?

The Blynclight Standard is the original RGB busy light: five LEDs, ten brightness steps, USB-powered. The Blynclight Plus adds an integrated speaker for audible ring and notification tones, useful for contact centers and roles where a visual alert alone isn't enough. Both run on the same Embrava Connect software.

Is the Blynclight compatible with macOS?

Yes. The Blynclight and the Embrava Connect companion app run on both macOS and Windows. No driver installation, no admin permissions required. Plug it in, sign in to Connect, pick your apps.

How do I deploy Blynclights across a whole team?

The Embrava Enterprise Admin Console lets IT push one configuration to every Blynclight in the fleet: color mappings, app priorities, branding. Group Policy covers Windows-managed environments. Contact us for volume pricing and rollout planning.
