The AV Bridge CONFERENCE connects conferencing audio and video equipment to a Windows computer, allowing compatible meeting applications to use those sources. Its driver supports communication between the bridge and the operating system so the connected hardware can be recognized and used correctly.

Key Features

• Device recognition: Helps Windows identify the AV Bridge CONFERENCE and make its supported functions available to compatible software.
• Conferencing integration: Supports access to the bridge’s audio and video interfaces from applications that accept compatible external devices.
• Hardware communication: Provides the software interface needed for communication between the computer and the connected bridge.
• Windows compatibility: When choosing a download for Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, match the package to your operating system and system architecture. Check the manufacturer’s compatibility notes before installing.

How to Install

1. Confirm your Windows version. Open your computer’s system information and check both the Windows edition and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. Make sure the driver package explicitly supports that configuration and your device model.
2. Download and prepare the package. Save the appropriate AV Bridge CONFERENCE driver from the manufacturer. Extract the files if the download is compressed, and read any included installation instructions.
3. Run the installer. Close conferencing applications, then launch the setup program with administrator permission if requested. Follow the prompts, connecting or disconnecting the bridge only as directed.
4. Complete the setup. Restart Windows if prompted, and ensure the bridge is powered on and connected using the connection method specified in its documentation. Check Device Manager for any warning symbols.
5. Test in your meeting application. Select the bridge’s available audio and video devices in the application’s settings, then run a test call or preview. If a source is missing, check the physical connections, Windows microphone and camera permissions, and the manufacturer’s troubleshooting guidance.

Some configurations may use Windows-provided drivers rather than a separate installer. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific setup instead of forcing an unrelated driver package.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Run the AV Bridge CONFERENCE installer as administrator, connect the unit directly to a rear USB 3.0 port (no hub), and close conferencing apps. If Windows blocks it, temporarily disable antivirus and retry.
• Device not detected: Confirm power and a data-capable USB cable. In Device Manager, check Cameras/Imaging and Audio inputs; in Teams/Zoom, reselect the AV Bridge CONFERENCE camera and microphone. Try another USB port or PC.
• Driver/version conflicts: Uninstall older AV Bridge software/driver, select “Delete the driver software,” reboot, then install the latest matching driver/firmware package. Do not mix old firmware with a new driver.
