Embrava + Slack

Your Slack availability, on a light the whole floor can read. The Embrava Blynclight follows your Slack presence and status in real time, so a glance tells teammates whether you're open to a message or heads-down in a huddle. No window to check, no shoulder tap to find out.

Presence, made physical

Who does what.

Slack already knows whether you're active, in a huddle, or set to do not disturb. The trouble is that signal sits in a sidebar nobody around you can see. Embrava takes the presence and status Slack already tracks and puts it on a light the people near you can actually read.

Slack

The presence source

  • Active and away presence, plus your custom Slack status
  • Live huddles and calls that mark you busy
  • Do not disturb and focus windows you set or schedule
  • The team messaging space your people already work in
Embrava Blynclight

The light on the desk

  • Mirrors your Slack availability in color, automatically
  • Visible across an open floor, not just in the app
  • Manual override and per-state custom colors
  • Travels between HQ, 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 Slack presence and status and drives the Blynclight to match: green when you're active, red when you're in a huddle, on a call, or busy, purple for do not disturb, amber when you've stepped away. The moment Slack flips your availability, the light flips with it. You never touch it.

If you run Slack alongside other tools, Connect lets you set a priority order, so a live Slack huddle outranks a quieter calendar status and always wins the light. Nothing about your Slack 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 Slack.

What Blynclight adds

What Slack presence gains once it's a light.

Huddles people respect

A red light reads from across the floor. Teammates see you're in a live Slack huddle before they wander over, so a quick sync isn't broken up by a drive-by question.

Do not disturb that shows

Set focus in Slack and the light goes purple. Your "do not disturb" stops being a silent mute nobody nearby can see and becomes a cue the whole room reads.

The same signal at home

Hybrid teams get one consistent cue at HQ, at a hot desk, and in the home office. Same Blynclight, same Embrava Connect, same colors following the same Slack states.

Heard, not just seen

Blynclight Plus adds a built-in speaker, so a new state can chime as well as change color. Push one Slack scheme to every light through the Enterprise Admin Console.

Common questions

Blynclight and Slack, answered.

Does the Blynclight show my Slack availability automatically?
Yes. Embrava Connect reads your Slack presence and status and drives the light to match. When you go active, set yourself to do not disturb, or jump in a huddle, the Blynclight changes on its own. There is nothing to toggle by hand.
Does the light know when I'm in a Slack huddle or call?
Yes. A live Slack huddle or call turns the Blynclight red, the same as any busy state. Teammates see you're mid-conversation before they ping you, so a quick huddle doesn't get cut short by a drive-by message.
Which Slack states does the light reflect?
The ones teammates act on: active, busy or in a huddle or call, do not disturb, and away. Each maps to a color, green for active, red for busy or in a huddle, purple for do not disturb, amber for away, and you can recolor any state to your own scheme.
Do I need to install anything?
Just Embrava Connect, the free companion app for Windows and macOS. No driver install, no admin permissions. Plug the Blynclight in over USB, sign in to Connect, and select Slack as the app the light should follow.
Can the light follow Slack and another app at the same time?
Yes. Embrava Connect lets you run several apps at once and set a priority order, so a live Slack huddle can outrank a quieter calendar status. The most important state always wins the light. Blynclight Plus adds a built-in speaker for audible alerts on top of the color.
How do we roll Blynclight out across a Slack workspace?
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.
