Embrava + Cisco Jabber

Cisco Jabber knows when you're on a call. The desk next to you does not. The Embrava Blynclight closes that gap, mirroring your Jabber presence and call state on a light the whole floor can read. One glance tells a colleague to hold off, no shoulder tap and no half-whispered "are you free?" required.

Presence, made physical

Who does what.

Jabber is the unified-comms client your team already runs for IM, voice, and video. It tracks your presence and your call state inside the app. Embrava takes that status and lifts it off the screen onto a light the people walking past your desk can actually see.

Cisco Jabber

The presence source

  • Instant messaging, presence, voice, and video in one desktop client
  • Live presence: available, busy, on a call, do not disturb, away
  • The voice and video calls that change that state in real time
  • A long-running UC client embedded across many enterprise desktops
Embrava Blynclight

The light on the desk

  • Mirrors your Jabber presence and call state in color, automatically
  • Readable across an open floor, not just on your own monitor
  • Manual override and per-state custom colors
  • Travels between office, hot desk, and home on the same USB cable
How it fits together

One status, two places to see it.

Embrava Connect, the free companion app for Windows and macOS, reads your Cisco Jabber presence and drives the Blynclight to match: green when you're available, red when you're busy or on a Jabber voice or video call, purple for do not disturb, amber when you've stepped away. The moment Jabber changes your state, the light changes with it. You never touch it.

Jabber tends to share the desktop with other tools, so Connect lets you set a priority order across every app it watches. An active Jabber call outranks a quieter status and wins the light. Nothing about your Jabber setup changes. There is no driver to install and no admin permission to grant. Plug the Blynclight in over USB, sign in to Connect, and pick Cisco Jabber.

What Blynclight adds

What Jabber presence gains once it's a light.

Calls people can see coming

A red light reads from down the aisle. Colleagues know you're on a Jabber call before they reach your desk, so the conversation in your headset stays uninterrupted.

Automatic, never manual

The light follows your Jabber presence on its own. No status to remember to set, no stale "available" glowing while you're deep in a video call.

Audible alerts with Blynclight Plus

Blynclight Plus adds a built-in speaker, so an incoming Jabber call or a state change can sound as well as show. Useful when you've stepped away from the screen.

Deployable across the org

Push one Jabber color scheme to every Blynclight through the Enterprise Admin Console, with Group Policy for Windows-managed fleets.

Common questions

Blynclight and Jabber, answered.

Does the Blynclight follow my Cisco Jabber presence automatically?
Yes. Embrava Connect reads your Cisco Jabber presence and call state and drives the Blynclight to match. When your Jabber status flips, the light flips with it. There is nothing to set by hand.
Which Jabber states does the light reflect?
The ones that matter to the people around you: available, busy or on a call, do not disturb, and away. Each maps to a color, green for available, red for busy or on a call, purple for do not disturb, amber for away, and you can recolor any state to your own scheme.
Does the light pick up a Jabber voice or video call, not just IM presence?
Yes. Jabber is a desktop client for instant messaging, presence, voice, and video, and the Blynclight reflects both your IM presence and your call state. When you take a Jabber voice or video call, the light turns red so colleagues know not to interrupt.
What do I need to install?
Just Embrava Connect, the free companion app for Windows and macOS. No driver install and no admin permission. Plug the Blynclight in over USB, sign in to Connect, and choose Cisco Jabber as the app the light should follow.
Can the light follow Jabber and another app at the same time?
Yes. Embrava Connect can watch several apps at once and apply a priority order, so an active Jabber call can outrank a quieter status from another tool. The most important state always wins the light.
How do we roll Blynclight out across a Jabber deployment?
The Embrava Enterprise Admin Console pushes one configuration to every Blynclight in the fleet: color mappings, app priorities, and branding. Group Policy covers Windows-managed environments. Contact us for volume pricing and rollout planning.
