Power down and reboot Surface Hub
If a restart has not solved the problem, you may need to completely power off the Surface Hub and
power it back on again. To perform a full power-cycle of the device, press the power button on the
bottom right of the device then disconnect the power and the battery (if connected), wait 10 seconds,
then apply power again to the device. This will cause the device to completely power off and power
back on. It will start up and come up to the Welcome screen when it is ready.
Check network and service connectivity from Surface Hub
Surface Hub requires a connection to the internet, and local or cloud services in order to work properly.
If there are issues with this connectivity you may get a warning notification message.
You can check to make sure the device is connected to the internet by opening the Edge browser and
navigating to a website. If no websites are loading, there is most likely a problem with the device’s
internet connection somewhere between the device and the outside connection from your organization.
There are a number of things that could impact the network connectivity of the device, so check with
your Network or System administrator to determine the cause and solutions for the issue.
Surface Hub also requires a connection to Exchange for meeting calendar sync and sending email from
Office 365 and Whiteboard. You can test this by inviting the device account to a meeting and also by
trying to send an email from one of the Office apps or the Whiteboard. If the device is not connected to
Exchange, it will not be able to update its calendar or send emails. Work with your organization’s
Exchange administrator to troubleshoot the connection.
Surface Hub connects to either Skype for Business, Teams or both to make and receive calls and join
scheduled meetings. If the device is unable to make Skype or Teams calls, or join meetings than the
connection to those services has probably been interrupted. Work with your organization’s Skype or
Teams administrator to troubleshoot the connection.
