About This Feature
Overview
Device Management is an in-meeting control feature in WPS Meetings for Windows. It helps you view and manage all devices that joined the same local meeting under the same account. This is useful when you join from both a computer and a phone and want to separate screen sharing from audio or camera capture.
Core capabilities include:
- View all devices used by the same account in the current local meeting.
- Turn audio or video on or off for a selected device.
- Let one device leave the meeting without interrupting other joined devices.
System Requirements
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating system | A Windows device that can run WPS Office and open the WPS Meetings interface |
| App version | It is recommended to use the latest version of WPS Office for complete meeting features and menu access |
| Network | A stable internet connection is recommended so meeting status and device controls can sync in time |
| Other | Sign in with the same WPS account and join the same local meeting on at least two devices for a fuller device list; if you use audio or video, make sure the related hardware is available |

| Capability Summary | In a meeting, open More Features > Device Management to view devices joined under the same account and control audio, video, or let one device leave. | Teams supports room remote so a personal device can control a shared room device's camera, microphone, layout, and settings. | Google Meet hardware supports room kits with controllers, cameras, microphones, and some room resource controls. | Notion supports managed mobile app policies and device-related admin controls, but it does not provide a native meeting-room device control workflow. | Adobe Acrobat supports enterprise mobile app and device management for deployment and protected work data, rather than in-meeting device control. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS focuses on the same-account multi-device meeting workflow and lets you view devices, switch audio or video states, and let one device leave from inside the meeting. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses more on shared room systems and remote room-device control. | Compared with WPS: Google focuses more on dedicated Meet hardware and room kits. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on workspace or managed mobile app policies instead of the same in-meeting device control scenario. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on enterprise deployment and managed mobile app controls instead of in-meeting device control. |

Overall Conclusion
If you need to manage multiple joined devices under the same account during a meeting, WPS provides a direct in-meeting entry point for audio, video, and leave controls. Microsoft and Google place more emphasis on room hardware systems, while Notion and Adobe focus more on workspace administration or enterprise mobile management.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable For | Main Issue | How Device Management Helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Share the screen on a computer and capture audio or video on a phone | Remote meeting participants | The computer does not have a microphone or camera connected | Join the same meeting on both devices and manage audio or video states from Device Management |
| 2 | Review joined devices after entering from multiple devices | Hosts and participants | It is not clear which devices are currently in the meeting | Open Device Management to view the device list under the same account |
| 3 | Turn off capture on one device temporarily | Users who join from two devices | One device causes echo or duplicate video | Turn off audio or video for that device only |
| 4 | Keep the main device in the meeting | Users switching devices | One device needs to leave without ending the whole meeting | Use Leave Meeting for the selected device |
| 5 | Add a temporary capture device in a small meeting room | Small team collaboration users | One device does not provide enough pickup range or camera angle | Join with another device under the same account and adjust its state in Device Management |
