About This Feature

Overview

Device Management is a meeting feature in WPS Office for Mac. It lets you view all devices that have joined the current meeting under the same account and control each device separately.

Main capabilities include:

View the devices used by the same account in the current meeting, such as a phone and a computer.
Turn audio or video on or off for a selected device.
Make a selected device leave the current meeting.

This is useful when your computer does not have a microphone or camera connected. You can join the same meeting on your phone and computer, use the phone for audio and video, and keep the computer available for screen sharing.

Capability Summary	In the meeting window, Device Management shows the devices that joined the same meeting under one account and lets you control audio, video, or make a device leave the meeting.	Microsoft Teams lets users manage microphone, speaker, camera, test calls, and other device settings for the current device.	Google Meet lets users check and switch microphone, speaker, and camera before and during a meeting.	Notion AI Meeting Notes focuses on transcription and meeting records, and uses system audio and mic access rather than native in-meeting device management.	Adobe Connect provides audio controls, microphone access management, and camera permissions through meeting controls and the Camera pod.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS focuses on centralized control for multiple devices already joined under the same account in one meeting, which fits phone-and-computer collaboration.	Compared with WPS: Teams focuses more on settings and testing for the current device.	Compared with WPS: Meet focuses on switching and checking the current device's peripherals.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on notes and transcription instead of meeting device control.	Compared with WPS: Adobe Connect offers host-level meeting controls, but same-account multi-device control is not its main workflow.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Device Management is especially suitable when the same account joins a meeting from both a phone and a computer. Other products usually focus on current-device audio and video settings, meeting recording, or host controls rather than centralized same-account multi-device management.
