Abstract

The disclosure relates generally to firmware updates for conference room devices. When there is a firmware problem for a conference room device that needs fixing, it may result in the conference room sitting unused until an end user submits a ticket to information technology (IT). The present disclosure proposes a more proactive approach. For instance, a user may bring a laptop to a conference room for a meeting that uses a meeting application. The laptop may detect the presence of peripherals in the conference room and, in response, iterate through the different peripherals and discover current firmware version and health status for the peripherals. The laptop may then report to an IT server, for each peripheral, 1) peripheral identifier, 2) firmware version, 3) health status, 4) meeting room location. The IT server may then determine if any firmware fixes should be applied.
