On February 12, Yealink hosted an informative webinar on its next-generation Teams Rooms solutions. In it, they showcased the latest innovations in Teams-enabled room systems available to customers today. If you missed it, not to worry - you'll find a recap of the most important takeaways in this article. Read on to learn more!

Quick overview of Yealink

To provide context, Yealink presented an overview of the company and its 23-year history. Modern facilities and factories were displayed, showing the philosophy of the company, its focus on security, and its green initiatives. The introduction emphasized the breadth of its influence, both geographically and in terms of specialization, as well as the quality of Yealink products and services.

Use cases

The webinar highlighted use cases from around Australia. These included St. John’s Ambulance Victoria, which used Yealink devices and services to create connected meeting spaces, and the University of Western Australia (UWA), which leveraged various room systems to transform over 100 rooms into connected teaching spaces.

Teams-certified devices

Next, a wide variety of Yealink products were highlighted, all of which are certified for use with Microsoft Teams. The various categories included IP phones, Windows-based Teams Rooms systems, Android-based Teams Rooms systems, and a wide variety of accessories such as sensors, microphones, scheduling panels, and headsets.

Small to medium-sized rooms

For small to mid-sized conference rooms, the MVC S40 kit is a Windows-based system that includes a bar-shaped device with a camera, mics, and speakers. It comes with a touchscreen control panel and can be connected to a large-screen TV. Alternatively, the A40 is a similar product based on the Android operating system that delivers a comparable experience. Both of these room systems are certified for Microsoft Teams and are ideal for small to mid-sized rooms of various types. With a wide variety of AI-powered features—such as Intellifocus, video and audio fence, auto framing, speaker tracking, noise cancellation, and multi-focus—both of these systems offer a high-tech solution for even the smallest of rooms.

Since these systems are highly modular, it is possible to add various components to enhance functionality. For example, simply adding the Yealink Mtower—a center-view intelligent camera—can take your Teams room to the next level. This camera is slated to launch later this year.

Large rooms

Large meeting rooms work better with a system that has separate audio and video components, due to their size. The MVC 860 is the kit of choice for rooms that seat between 12 and 24. This is a Windows-based system that sports a UVC86 dual-eye cam, with one PTZ 4K camera and a digital zoom camera. This device offers auto framing, speaker tracking, presenter tracking, multi-focus, and picture-in-picture. All of these are intelligently managed by the system, like your own dedicated film director, to ensure that your remote participants almost feel as if they are in the same room with you.

Extra-large rooms

For those rooms with seating exceeding 25 people, the MVC S90 kit is the way to go. This kit includes two UVC86 cameras, an AV Hub multi-camera processor, a BYOD extender USB adaptor, and a mini-PC computer running the Windows operating system that functions as the orchestrator of the whole Teams Rooms implementation. This system supports expansion accommodating up to two large screen displays, multiple wireless ceiling mics and speakers, and integration with third-party audio and room control systems. The kit supports expansion to up to nine cameras with multi-Intellifocus, able to focus on up to four active speakers.

Audio features necessary for such environments include intelligent noise cancellation technology to suppress the ambient noise, echo, and reverberation that are often experienced in larger spaces.

The MVC S90 kit offers exceptional versatility, making it ideal for a large room that can be divided into four smaller spaces. Individual components can be used separately in the smaller rooms, and when combined, the entire system seamlessly supports the full-room setup.

All-in-one systems

Other than the room-specific options that were showcased, Yealink also promoted one of its most unique products: the all-in-one MeetingBoard soltuion. Composed of the MB65 and MB86 models, these large touchscreen displays turn any room into an interactive collaboration space. With integrated cameras, microphones, and speakers, this device is all you need! It runs either Android or Windows OS and can be mounted on a floorstand with wheels to be moved from room to room as needed. The MeetingBoard devices support a whole range of accessories to further enhance the communications experience, including an external PTZ camera, wireless mics, and external touch console for extra control.

Audiovisual over IP

Yealink had an opportunity to inform users about its new line of audiovisual systems that leverage IP or AVoIP systems. These include IP-enabled speakers and audio systems as well as AVoIP encoders and decoders for sending AV media over the network. Included in this set of systems is an intelligent design and deployment tool for video and audio solutions that includes an AV room designer as well as a ceiling device calculator to streamline and optimize the deployment process.

Key Microsoft investment areas for 2025

A Microsoft representative shared what the company’s areas of focus will be over the next six to 12 months. These areas include:

• AI-assisted meetings
• User experience and interoperability enhancements
• Enhanced user and IT experience on Android devices
• Intelligent AV
• Pro management portal enhancements

These areas of focus are expected to help further enhance meetings with a deeper integration of Microsoft’s AI assistant, Copilot. Automatic start/stop recording, meeting transcripts, meeting minutes, translation on the fly, and general meeting management are just some of the enhancements that such integration can achieve.

All of these are important approaches that help define how the Yealink–Microsoft Teams partnership is expected to evolve over the coming months, indicating the level of integration of these systems that we can expect to see in the near future.

Finally, the Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform (MDEP) was presented. This is an effort to support Android-based platforms enhanced with Microsoft’s security policies and other best practices. This approach embraces rather than rejects operating system diversity, enabling greater interoperability between devices and systems. Yealink’s third-generation MVC kit series supports MDEP.

Live demos

The webinar continued with some live demos of the A40, which includes the CTP25 touch console, as well as the MeetingBoard86 device. Many of the audio and video features of these devices were put on display, showing their impressive capabilities in action. 

Evolution of AI video

The most notable takeaway from these demos was the significant leap in AI-powered video features compared with previous iterations. Camera responsiveness was remarkably quick and precise, naturally tracking movements and adjusting in real time without noticeable lag. Unlike earlier versions, where AI enhancements sometimes felt gimmicky or even obstructive, the operation of AI-enabled video genuinely contributed to an improved user experience. This time, the demo didn’t just showcase what was possible—it demonstrated meaningful progress that could genuinely benefit users in real-world applications.
