Yealink Video Conferencing & Microsoft Teams Room Solutions
Yealink provides video conferencing and collaboration technology for everything from small focus rooms to large Microsoft Teams Rooms, executive boardrooms, training spaces and professional AV environments.
The Yealink range includes MeetingBar all-in-one video systems, MeetingBoard interactive displays, Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows, intelligent cameras, tabletop and ceiling microphones, room loudspeakers, professional audio processing, room booking technology, BYOD and AV-over-IP.
This gives organisations the flexibility to use simpler all-in-one systems in smaller rooms while moving to more advanced camera, microphone and audio architectures as spaces become larger.
Gibb Technology designs, supplies, installs and supports Yealink meeting-room solutions across the UK, Ireland and EMEA. Systems can be designed for Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, BYOD environments and larger professional AV spaces.
The right Yealink solution depends on the room rather than simply the number of seats. Room dimensions, table layout, camera distance, microphone coverage, acoustics, display size and how people intend to use the space should all be considered before the final system is selected.
Which Yealink Solution Is Right for Your Meeting Room?
The easiest way to understand the Yealink range is to start with the room itself. A compact focus room does not need the same camera, audio and control architecture as an executive boardroom, while a training or presentation space may require wider camera coverage and more advanced audio.
For focus rooms and huddle spaces, the Yealink MeetingBar A25 provides a compact all-in-one option designed for smaller collaboration spaces where simplicity and fast deployment are the priority.
For small meeting rooms, the Yealink MeetingBar A40 or MVC S40 can provide a suitable starting point. These systems are designed for everyday video meetings where users need straightforward access to Microsoft Teams or other supported collaboration platforms without introducing unnecessary complexity.
In medium-sized meeting rooms, the MeetingBar A40, MeetingBar A50 or MVC S50 may be appropriate depending on the room layout and the level of camera and audio performance required. Where the room would benefit from a centre-table camera, the Yealink MVC S60 with SmartVision 60 can provide a more immersive view of participants seated around the table.
For spaces where interactive collaboration is important, the Yealink MeetingBoard Pro combines video conferencing, touch interaction and digital collaboration in a single system. This can work particularly well in meeting rooms where teams regularly annotate, present and collaborate directly on screen.
For large meeting rooms, the Yealink MVC S80 provides a more scalable solution, while executive boardrooms may require either the MVC S80 or MVC S90 depending on the table length, camera positions and required participant coverage. Where multiple camera views are required, the MVC S90 is better suited to more advanced multi-camera boardroom environments.
For training rooms and presentation spaces, the Yealink MVC S90 can be combined with professional audio to provide improved microphone coverage and more controlled loudspeaker performance. In particularly large spaces or more complex ProAV environments, the Yealink MVC S98 provides a platform for larger multi-camera and professionally integrated room designs.
Audio requirements can also influence the system choice. Rooms requiring ceiling microphone coverage can use the Yealink CM20 or CM50, while more advanced networked audio systems can combine the Yealink AP08 DSP, CM50 microphones and CS10-D Dante ceiling loudspeakers. This allows the audio system to be designed around the room rather than relying entirely on microphones and speakers built into a video bar.
Where video needs to be distributed between multiple displays, cameras or presentation sources, Yealink AVoIP can also be introduced to provide more flexible video distribution across the room.
The final system should always be selected around the actual space rather than room capacity alone. A six-person boardroom with a long table may require a more advanced camera system than an eight-person square meeting room, while rooms containing large areas of glass, hard flooring or other reflective surfaces may require additional consideration when designing microphone and loudspeaker coverage.
Yealink MeetingBar – All-in-One Video Conferencing
The Yealink MeetingBar range is designed to simplify video conferencing by combining the main meeting-room technology into one front-of-room device.
Instead of installing a separate camera, microphones, loudspeakers and conferencing appliance around the display, a MeetingBar incorporates these core functions within the same system.
This makes MeetingBar particularly useful for organisations that want meeting rooms that are quick to deploy, straightforward to use and easier to standardise across several offices.
The current MeetingBar range covers compact focus rooms through to medium and larger meeting spaces, with the A25, A40 and A50 providing increasingly greater camera and audio capability.
Yealink MeetingBar A25
The Yealink MeetingBar A25 is designed for focus rooms and compact huddle spaces.
Small rooms can be surprisingly difficult for conventional cameras because participants may sit very close to the display. The A25 uses an ultra-wide multi-camera design to capture people sitting close to the front of the room while maintaining a compact installation.
The camera, microphones, loudspeaker and Android conferencing platform are incorporated into the video bar, making the A25 particularly suitable where simplicity and minimal visible technology are important.
For a small room where users mainly need to walk in, join a meeting and share content, the A25 can provide a much cleaner solution than installing multiple separate AV components.
Yealink MeetingBar A40
The Yealink MeetingBar A40 is designed for small and medium meeting rooms and is likely to be one of the most useful Yealink products for standard corporate room deployments.
It combines intelligent cameras, microphones and stereo loudspeakers within a single front-of-room device and can be paired with the Yealink CTP25 touch controller on the meeting table.
The controller provides the familiar room interface for joining meetings and sharing content, while supported BYOD functionality gives users another route when they need to run a meeting from their laptop.
The A40 can also support additional Yealink microphones, making it possible to extend voice pickup where the room is slightly larger than the integrated microphone coverage alone would comfortably support.
For organisations developing a repeatable Microsoft Teams Room or Zoom Room standard, the A40 provides a useful balance between performance and simplicity.
Yealink MeetingBar A50
The Yealink MeetingBar A50 moves the all-in-one MeetingBar concept into medium and larger meeting rooms.
Its triple-camera system is designed to provide stronger participant coverage across greater room depth than smaller MeetingBar systems, while its expanded microphone and loudspeaker capability allows it to cover more demanding spaces.
The A50 is particularly useful where an organisation wants to retain the simplicity of a video-bar architecture without immediately moving into separate cameras, ceiling microphones and professional audio processing.
There is still a point where a modular system becomes more appropriate.
If a room is particularly deep, has a long boardroom table, requires ceiling microphones or needs multiple camera views, an MVC system may provide a better architecture than trying to extend an all-in-one video bar beyond the type of room it was designed for.
Yealink MeetingBoard Pro
The Yealink MeetingBoard Pro combines an interactive 4K display with video conferencing, cameras, microphones, loudspeakers and digital whiteboarding.
MeetingBoard Pro is available in different sizes, allowing the same concept to be used across a range of collaboration spaces.
It can work particularly well in project rooms, design spaces, innovation suites, workshops and other environments where people actively interact with content rather than simply viewing it.
A user can join a meeting, share content and use the display as an interactive collaboration surface without creating a room containing several visibly separate pieces of conferencing equipment.
That does not mean every meeting room needs an interactive display.
A boardroom used mainly for presentations and formal video meetings may still be better served by a conventional commercial display and dedicated conferencing system.
MeetingBoard Pro makes most sense where touch, annotation and collaboration are genuinely part of the way the room will be used.
Yealink Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows
Larger meeting rooms often benefit from a more modular AV system.
Yealink's MVC range provides Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows, separating the Teams Room computer, touch controller, cameras and audio devices rather than placing everything inside one front-of-room appliance.
This gives the room designer much more flexibility.
A camera can be selected for the actual room depth. Microphones can be positioned around the table or installed in the ceiling. Loudspeakers can be distributed around larger spaces. Multiple cameras can provide different views of a boardroom or presentation area.
This approach becomes increasingly valuable as the room moves beyond a standard meeting space.
Yealink MVC S40
The MVC S40 provides a Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows solution for small and medium rooms while keeping the physical AV architecture relatively simple.
The system uses Yealink room compute and control together with SmartVision 40, which provides the front-of-room camera and audio.
This can be particularly useful for organisations that have standardised on Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows but do not need the more complex camera and ceiling-audio architecture associated with larger spaces.
Yealink MVC S50
The MVC S50 combines Microsoft's Windows Teams Room architecture with the camera and audio capabilities of the MeetingBar A50.
This makes it suitable for organisations that want the greater flexibility and management approach of Windows MTR while retaining a relatively integrated front-of-room AV system.
For many medium and larger rooms, this provides a useful stepping stone between a conventional video-bar room and a fully modular boardroom.
Yealink MVC S60 & SmartVision 60
The MVC S60 uses Yealink SmartVision 60 to provide a different camera perspective.
Instead of viewing everyone only from the front of the room, SmartVision 60 is positioned around the meeting table and provides a 360-degree view.
This can help remote participants see people around the table from a more natural distance, particularly in rooms where participants at the far end would otherwise appear much smaller than those sitting close to a front-mounted camera.
This type of system is worth considering where meeting equity and natural participant views are priorities.
Yealink MVC S80
The MVC S80 is designed for larger meeting rooms.
At this size of room, simply increasing the camera's field of view is not enough. Participants may be several metres away from the front display, so the system needs to capture detail at greater distances.
The SmartVision 80 camera architecture provides the greater camera capability required for these spaces and can be combined with more advanced room audio.
This makes the S80 a useful choice for larger conference rooms that have moved beyond what an all-in-one MeetingBar can comfortably cover.
Yealink MVC S90 – Multi-Camera Boardrooms
The Yealink MVC S90 is designed around larger boardrooms and spaces where one camera may not provide the best view of everyone in the room.
A multi-camera design can provide dedicated views of different parts of a long boardroom table, a presentation position or other areas of the space.
This creates a better experience for remote attendees because the entire room does not have to be viewed continuously from one distant camera.
The S90 can also be combined with Yealink's professional ceiling microphones, audio processing and distributed loudspeakers, allowing the system to become a complete boardroom AV solution rather than simply a Teams Room kit.
Yealink MVC S98 – Professional AV Rooms
The Yealink MVC S98 is designed for large Microsoft Teams Rooms, boardrooms, training spaces and other professional AV environments.
It combines MCore 4, MTouch Plus, AVHub and multiple SmartVision 80 cameras, allowing different areas of a large room to be captured more effectively than relying on one front-of-room camera.
The system can also be expanded with CM50 ceiling microphones, AP08 audio processing and CS10-D active ceiling loudspeakers where the room requires professional audio coverage.
This makes the MVC S98 a strong option for larger spaces that need multi-camera video, ceiling audio and more flexible AV integration.
How Yealink Solutions Fit Together
One of the main advantages of the Yealink portfolio is that rooms can become more sophisticated without abandoning the wider ecosystem.
A small room might use a MeetingBar, display and touch controller.
A larger meeting room can move to a Windows-based MVC system with separate cameras.
A boardroom can add ceiling microphones and distributed speakers.
A presentation or training environment can then introduce the AP08 digital signal processor, CM20 or CM50 ceiling microphones, CS10-D network loudspeakers and Yealink AV-over-IP.
The components perform different jobs, but together they create one complete room.
Yealink Meeting Room Microphones
Selecting the microphone is one of the most important decisions in any larger meeting room.
Yealink provides both tabletop and ceiling microphone options, and each approach has advantages.
Yealink Table Microphones
A tabletop microphone sits close to the people speaking, which can make it a straightforward solution for conventional meeting rooms and boardrooms.
The Yealink VCM35 is a wired tabletop microphone. It can be positioned around the meeting table to extend microphone coverage beyond the microphones built into the main room system.
The VCM36-W provides a wireless alternative. This can be useful where a cable across or through the table is undesirable or where the furniture needs to remain flexible.
Table microphones are especially useful where the meeting table is permanent and placing a microphone near participants is acceptable.
Their main disadvantage is visual.
The microphone remains on the meeting table, and wired models need an appropriate cable route.
Yealink Ceiling Microphones
Yealink ceiling microphones allow the microphone technology to be moved away from the meeting table and installed above the room instead.
The Yealink CM20 provides ceiling-mounted beamforming microphone coverage for Yealink meeting-room systems. It is well suited to rooms where organisations want the benefits of overhead microphone pickup while maintaining a relatively straightforward Yealink room architecture.
For larger or more advanced rooms, the Yealink CM50 provides a more professional ceiling microphone solution. Its Dante connectivity allows it to become part of a networked professional audio system, making it suitable for rooms using the Yealink AP08 DSP, network audio and more sophisticated microphone and loudspeaker designs.
Yealink Professional Meeting Room Audio
As meeting rooms become larger, audio often becomes more important than adding more camera features.
People can normally continue a video meeting if the picture is not perfect.
They struggle to participate when speech cannot be understood clearly.
For this reason, larger Yealink rooms can use dedicated microphones, digital audio processing and distributed room loudspeakers rather than relying entirely on the audio built into a video bar.
Yealink AP08 Digital Signal Processor
The Yealink AP08 is used when the room audio needs more control than a standard integrated meeting-room system can provide.
A DSP, or digital signal processor, sits at the centre of a professional audio system.
Microphone signals enter the DSP, where the audio can be processed and combined before being sent into Microsoft Teams or another meeting platform.
The AP08 provides functions such as acoustic echo cancellation and noise processing and supports both Dante network audio and analogue audio connections.
The practical benefit is flexibility.
A room can contain several ceiling microphones rather than one microphone source. A professional wireless presenter's microphone can be brought into the same audio system. Different parts of the room can be covered in different ways.
The AP08 then manages those sources as one meeting-room audio system.
For a standard small meeting room this would usually be unnecessary.
For a boardroom, presentation room, training space or other professional environment, it can become one of the most important parts of the system.
How the AP08 Connects to Yealink Ceiling Speakers
Traditional installed audio systems often use three stages:
1. The DSP processes the audio.
2. The Separate amplifier provides the electrical power.
3. The passive ceiling speakers reproduce the sound.
Yealink can simplify this architecture.
The CS10 and CS10-D are active PoE+ ceiling loudspeakers, which means the amplification is built into the speaker rather than provided by a separate rack-mounted power amplifier.
When the CS10-D is used in a Dante architecture with the AP08, the processed audio can travel digitally across the network to the loudspeakers.
The network infrastructure provides connectivity and PoE+ power to the active speakers.
This means a conventional external audio amplifier is not required simply to power the CS10-D loudspeakers.
A suitable network switch is still important. The switch needs to support the required audio network and have sufficient PoE capacity for the connected microphones and speakers.
Integrated Speakers, Front-of-Room Speakers or Ceiling Speakers?
Smaller Yealink MeetingBar systems already contain loudspeakers.
In a compact meeting room, these may provide everything required.
As a room becomes larger, a dedicated front-of-room loudspeaker can provide greater output while keeping the architecture relatively simple.
For long boardrooms and larger presentation spaces, distributed CS10 or CS10-D ceiling speakers may provide better coverage because sound is delivered closer to participants throughout the room.
The best option depends on the length of the room, seating positions and the expected use of the space.
Yealink AVBridge – What Does It Do?
The Yealink AVBridge provides a way of connecting professional audio and AV equipment into a meeting-room system without immediately moving to the more advanced AP08 DSP architecture.
AVBridge combines audio connectivity with AV and USB extension.
It can connect cameras, DSPs and other AV devices back to the meeting-room host and can be used with Yealink ceiling microphones.
In simple terms, AVBridge helps connect room technology that cannot conveniently sit directly beside the Teams Room computer.
For example, a camera may need to be located at the other end of the room. Ceiling microphones need a route into the meeting system. USB or AV signals may need to travel further than a normal direct cable comfortably allows.
AVBridge helps create that connection.
AVBridge or AP08?
The easiest way to understand the difference is that AVBridge is primarily about connecting and extending AV, while AP08 is primarily about advanced professional audio processing.
AVBridge is useful where a room needs ceiling microphones, extended camera connections or more flexible AV connectivity without requiring a large audio-processing architecture.
AP08 becomes more appropriate where several microphone sources need to be mixed, professional wireless microphones need to be integrated, Dante audio is being distributed around the room or the audio requires more advanced DSP processing.
For many standard meeting rooms, neither device is required.
They become relevant as the room moves into professional AV.
Yealink AVHub
Yealink AVHub performs another role within larger-room architectures.
It is designed to bring multiple Yealink cameras and AV peripherals together and supports larger multi-camera meeting environments.
This can make AVHub particularly useful in spaces where several cameras need to operate as part of the same meeting-room system.
For a user evaluating a large boardroom, the distinction can be kept simple.
AVHub helps manage larger multi-camera AV systems.
AVBridge helps connect and extend AV devices.
AP08 provides the more advanced professional audio processing.
Yealink AV-over-IP
AV-over-IP allows video and audio signals to travel across an IP network rather than relying entirely on dedicated point-to-point HDMI connections.
This is unnecessary in many conventional meeting rooms.
If one laptop connects to one display, a straightforward wired connection can still be the simplest answer.
AV-over-IP becomes more useful when a room has several presentation sources, multiple displays, long distances or needs the ability to route different content to different destinations.
This is where encoders and decoders are used.
What Does an AV Encoder Do?
An encoder is placed at the source side of the system.
The Yealink EN300 takes a video source and converts that signal so it can be transported across the AV network.
The source might be a presentation laptop, workstation or another video source within the room.
Instead of running a dedicated video cable directly from that source to a particular display, the signal can be put onto the network and routed to the required destination.
What Does an AV Decoder Do?
The decoder performs the opposite role.
A Yealink DE300 can sit close to a display and receive the AV stream from the network.
It converts the network stream back into a format the display can use.
In a larger room, several decoders can allow the same presentation source to appear on multiple displays.
With several encoders and decoders, different sources can also be routed to different destinations depending on how the room is configured.
That flexibility is the real value of AV-over-IP.
Example Yealink Presentation & Training Room
A presentation room needs to work differently from a conventional boardroom.
Imagine a room with a presenter at the front and an audience sitting further back.
Using one camera beneath the front display to capture both areas may not provide a good experience for remote participants.
A better design can use one Yealink camera dedicated to the presenter and another camera positioned to show the audience.
Remote attendees can then receive a useful view of the person presenting as well as the people participating in the room.
The microphone design can follow the same principle.
A CM50 ceiling microphone can provide coverage around the presentation area while additional ceiling microphone coverage captures questions and discussion from the audience.
The AP08 DSP can manage these microphone signals and deliver the required audio into the Teams Room.
Remote meeting audio can then be distributed around the room using CS10-D active ceiling speakers.
This means participants throughout the audience area can hear the remote meeting clearly rather than relying on sound coming only from the front display.
If the room also requires flexible presentation routing, Yealink AV-over-IP can be used to distribute presentation content to the required displays.
This creates a room that can operate as both a Microsoft Teams Room and a professional hybrid presentation environment.
Example Presentation Room with Lapel & Handheld Microphones
Some training and presentation spaces require a presenter to wear a wireless lapel microphone.
A second wireless handheld microphone may also be useful for another presenter, panel discussions or questions.
These professional wireless microphones can be integrated with the Yealink room rather than treated as a completely separate system.
The wireless microphones connect to their own professional receivers. The receiver audio outputs can then be connected to the analogue audio inputs on the Yealink AP08 DSP.
The AP08 can process those presenter microphones alongside Yealink ceiling microphones installed elsewhere in the room.
The lapel microphone provides consistent close pickup from the main presenter.
The handheld microphone can be used by another speaker or passed between participants when required.
Ceiling microphones provide general coverage for the wider audience.
All of these microphone sources can then become part of the meeting rather than requiring completely separate audio systems.
Remote participant audio can again be distributed throughout the room using CS10-D active ceiling loudspeakers.
The room could also use one camera for the main presenter and another for the audience, allowing both audio and video coverage to be designed around what remote attendees actually need.
Yealink Cameras for Larger Rooms
The right camera depends on what remote participants need to see.
In a small room, the cameras built into a MeetingBar may provide everything required.
In a larger boardroom, a camera with stronger optical capability can provide clearer images of participants several metres from the front display.
In a presentation room, separate cameras may be preferable because one camera can cover the presenter while another provides a wider audience view.
Yealink offers different camera architectures for these situations, including SmartVision 40, SmartVision 60, SmartVision 80 and UVC86.
The important consideration is not simply camera resolution.
Camera position, room depth, viewing angle and the type of meeting all affect what system will provide the best experience.
Yealink BYOD & BYOM
A Microsoft Teams Room will not necessarily host every meeting through Microsoft Teams.
A client may send a Zoom invitation. A supplier may use Webex. Another organisation may use Google Meet.
BYOD or BYOM allows a user's laptop to use the professional AV technology already installed in the meeting room.
Instead of using the laptop webcam and microphone, the laptop can access the room's camera, microphones, speakers and display.
Compatible Yealink MeetingBar systems support straightforward BYOD options, while larger systems can use additional AV connectivity where required.
The objective is to give users flexibility without making the room unnecessarily complicated.
A room with five different cables and several different ways to present can quickly become harder to use than a room with one clearly defined connection.
Yealink Room Booking
Yealink also provides technology for managing the space outside the meeting room.
A room scheduling panel such as the RoomPanel Plus E2 can display meeting-room availability, upcoming bookings and room status.
This can make shared meeting spaces easier to find and use, particularly in offices with several bookable rooms.
The scheduling system can therefore become part of the wider meeting-room standard rather than being treated as an unrelated product attached outside the door.
Yealink Workplace Management & Occupancy
Yealink meeting-room technology can form part of a wider connected workplace rather than operating only as video conferencing equipment.
Room booking information from Yealink RoomPanel can be considered alongside desk booking, occupancy sensing, workplace management software and workplace analytics to provide a clearer picture of how meeting rooms and office spaces are actually being used.
Yealink also offers room-sensing technology that can add occupancy, people-counting and environmental information to suitable workplace deployments.
A connected workplace could bring together:
Yealink Meeting Rooms → Room Booking → Occupancy Data → Workplace Management → Workplace Analytics
This helps IT, facilities and workplace teams compare what employees booked with how spaces were actually used, identify under-utilised rooms and make better decisions about the workplace.
GT can integrate Yealink meeting rooms, room scheduling, occupancy technology and workplace management platforms across the UK, Ireland and EMEA.
Yealink Meeting Room Demonstrations in the UK
Seeing collaboration technology working in a real environment can be extremely useful before committing to a larger deployment.
GT can help clients arrange Yealink demonstrations in London and Manchester, allowing IT, workplace and facilities teams to compare different Yealink meeting-room systems before finalising the design.
Remote demonstrations can also be considered where an in-person visit is not practical.
The exact equipment available should always be confirmed before travelling.
Yealink London Customer Experience Center
Yealink operates its UK Customer Experience Center at:
Level 7
One Canada Square
Canary Wharf
London
E14 5AB
The facility gives clients an opportunity to experience Yealink collaboration technology in a working demonstration environment.
A visit can be particularly useful when an organisation is deciding between MeetingBar and MVC systems or wants to experience Yealink's intelligent camera technology before creating a standard for several rooms.
For larger boardroom or professional AV projects, the demonstration can also help stakeholders understand why camera and audio architecture becomes more important as the room increases in size.
Yealink Demonstrations at Nimans Manchester
Yealink technology can also be evaluated through Nimans in Manchester.
The facility is located at:
Nimans
Agecroft Road
Pendlebury
Manchester
M27 8SB
Nimans provides Yealink demonstration facilities and expertise from its Manchester headquarters, giving clients another option for evaluating meeting-room technology outside London.
This can be particularly useful for organisations based across northern England, the Midlands and Scotland.
GT can help confirm which Yealink products need to be demonstrated before the visit is arranged.
Remote Yealink Demonstrations
Choosing between Yealink MeetingBar, MeetingBoard, MVC Teams Rooms, intelligent camera and professional audio solutions can be easier when you can see the technology in operation.
GT can help arrange remote Yealink demonstrations around the solution being considered. These sessions can provide an opportunity to see relevant Yealink technology in use, understand how the different components work together and discuss how the solution could be applied to your own meeting rooms.
Remote demonstrations can be tailored around areas such as Yealink MeetingBar systems, MeetingBoard, MVC Microsoft Teams Rooms, intelligent cameras and professional meeting-room audio, helping your team evaluate the technology before progressing with a room design or quotation.
Frequently Asked Questions About Yealink Video Conferencing
Is Yealink good for Microsoft Teams Rooms?
Yes. Yealink provides Microsoft Teams Rooms ranging from compact all-in-one MeetingBar systems through to Windows-based MVC systems for larger meeting rooms and professional AV environments.
The appropriate solution depends on the room size and the level of camera, audio and AV integration required.
What is a Yealink MeetingBar?
A MeetingBar combines the camera, microphones, loudspeakers and conferencing platform into one front-of-room system.
This can substantially simplify the design of focus rooms and standard meeting rooms.
Which Yealink MeetingBar do I need?
MeetingBar A25 is designed around compact focus and huddle spaces.
MeetingBar A40 is suited to many small and medium corporate meeting rooms.
MeetingBar A50 provides greater camera and audio capability for medium and larger spaces.
Room dimensions should still be checked before deciding between them.
What is Yealink MVC?
Yealink MVC is the company's Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows platform.
MVC systems use separate room compute, controllers and AV devices, making them more expandable than a typical all-in-one MeetingBar.
Can Yealink be used in boardrooms?
Yes.
Yealink MVC S80 and S90 can provide more advanced camera architectures for larger boardrooms, while professional ceiling microphones and distributed loudspeakers can be added where the room requires them.
Can Yealink support multiple cameras?
Yes.
Larger MVC systems can use multi-camera architectures where different views of a boardroom, presenter or audience are required.
Should I use Yealink table microphones or ceiling microphones?
Table microphones are straightforward and place the microphone close to participants.
Ceiling microphones keep the meeting table clear and can provide greater flexibility in boardrooms and professional rooms.
The room layout and acoustic conditions should determine which approach is used.
What does the Yealink AP08 do?
The AP08 is a professional digital signal processor.
It processes and manages meeting-room audio and can bring together Yealink ceiling microphones, Dante audio, analogue audio sources and professional audio equipment.
Do Yealink ceiling speakers need an amplifier?
Yealink CS10 and CS10-D ceiling loudspeakers are active PoE+ speakers, so a separate conventional rack-mounted amplifier is not required simply to drive them.
The network infrastructure still needs to provide the required connectivity and PoE power.
What is Yealink AVBridge?
AVBridge connects and extends professional AV equipment back to the meeting-room system.
It supports Dante, analogue audio and USB extension and is particularly useful where cameras or ceiling-audio equipment are positioned away from the main room computer.
What is Yealink AV-over-IP?
AV-over-IP transports video and audio across an IP network.
An encoder puts the source onto the network, while a decoder receives that stream at the display.
It can be useful in larger rooms with several presentation sources or displays.
Can professional lapel and handheld microphones work with Yealink?
Yes.
Professional wireless microphone receivers can be connected to the analogue audio inputs of an AP08-based room system.
This allows lapel or handheld microphones to operate alongside Yealink ceiling microphones and the Microsoft Teams Room.
Does Yealink support BYOD?
Compatible Yealink systems support BYOD workflows that allow a user's laptop to use the meeting-room camera, microphones, loudspeakers and display.
Where can I see Yealink meeting-room equipment in the UK?
GT can help coordinate demonstrations at Yealink's London Customer Experience Center in Canary Wharf and through Nimans in Manchester.
Remote demonstrations may also be available depending on the project.
Yealink, Logitech or Neat?
Yealink is one of several leading collaboration manufacturers available for modern corporate meeting rooms.
Yealink is particularly attractive where an organisation wants a broad ecosystem that can scale from compact Android MeetingBars through Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows and into multi-camera professional AV environments.
Logitech provides another strong enterprise meeting-room ecosystem with a wide range of video bars, cameras, room controllers and collaboration accessories.
Neat provides a highly integrated approach with a strong focus on simplified meeting-room architecture, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and intelligent video.
There is no manufacturer that is automatically right for every room.
The correct system depends on the collaboration platform, room size, user workflow, AV requirements and how the organisation intends to support the rooms over time.
Yealink Installation Across the UK, Ireland & EMEA
Gibb Technology can provide Yealink meeting-room design, equipment supply, installation, commissioning and ongoing support across the UK, Ireland and EMEA.
A single project might involve a MeetingBar and display in one room.
A wider workplace rollout may use several different Yealink room types so that the technology scales appropriately across the building.
Focus rooms could use MeetingBar A25.
Standard meeting rooms could use A40 or A50.
Larger rooms could use MVC systems.
Executive boardrooms could use multiple cameras and ceiling audio.
Training rooms could add AP08 professional processing, presenter microphones, distributed loudspeakers and AV-over-IP.
The user experience can remain familiar while the technology behind the room changes according to what each space actually needs.
Yealink Meeting Room Design
The best meeting-room results come from designing the system around the room rather than selecting equipment first.
The length and shape of the space influence camera selection.
The table layout influences microphone coverage.
The viewing distance influences display size.
Room acoustics influence whether tabletop microphones or ceiling microphones are more appropriate.
Presentation requirements determine whether the room needs simple USB-C sharing or a more flexible AV-over-IP architecture.
For larger rooms, the design may also need to consider presenter positions, audience coverage, multiple cameras, microphone zones and distributed audio.
GT can help develop the architecture before equipment is ordered, reducing the risk of trying to solve room-design problems after installation.
Yealink Support & Maintenance
A meeting-room fault does not always originate from the conferencing appliance.
A problem described as a Teams Room issue could actually be caused by a display, USB connection, camera, microphone, DSP, network device or another part of the AV system.
GT can support the wider meeting-room environment rather than treating every device as an isolated component.
This becomes particularly important in professional AV rooms where conferencing compute, cameras, audio processing, network infrastructure and displays all need to operate together.
Planning a Yealink Meeting Room?
Whether you need a straightforward MeetingBar room, an interactive MeetingBoard, a Microsoft Teams Room on Windows or a larger multi-camera professional AV environment, the first step is choosing the architecture that fits the room.
Gibb Technology can help with Yealink system design, equipment selection, pricing, installation, commissioning and ongoing support.
For larger rooms, GT can also design the camera coverage, microphone layout, ceiling audio, professional DSP and AV-over-IP architecture.
