Originally founded in 1990 by Brian Hinman and Jeff Rodman in San Francisco, California, Polycom became a global leader in video, voice, and content collaboration. The brand has undergone significant corporate shifts over the last decade. In 2018, Polycom was acquired by the headset manufacturer Plantronics in a multi-billion dollar deal. Following the merger, the combined entity was rebranded as 'Poly' in 2019 to symbolize the union of their diverse communication technologies.

In 2022, the technology giant HP Inc. acquired Poly (including the Polycom brand) to bolster its hybrid work and peripheral portfolio. As of 2026, Polycom operates as a key brand under HP's subsidiary, Poly Inc. While the engineering and brand leadership are based in the United States, manufacturing for these hardware units is predominantly outsourced to high-tech manufacturing facilities in China and other global electronics hubs.
