Yealink MeetingBar: A25, A40 and A50 compared

A MeetingBar puts the camera, microphones, speakers and meeting computer in one bar. One device on the wall, two cables, and the room is ready for Teams or Zoom.

People counts follow Yealink's published positioning and assume a standard table layout. Ask us for the current datasheet for exact specifications.

Why choose an all-in-one bar

There is very little to go wrong. No separate PC to patch, no rack, and no tangle of cables behind the screen. That makes MeetingBars the usual choice when you are fitting out many similar rooms and want each one to behave the same way.

Camera and audio features

Yealink's current MeetingBars include automatic framing, speaker tracking and people counting. Selected models add IntelliFocus, which shows each person at the table in their own frame, and Video Fence, which stops the camera picking up people walking past a glass wall.

Managing a fleet of bars

IT teams can manage MeetingBars in bulk. The A50 supports Microsoft Teams Admin Center, the Zoom device management platform and Yealink Management Cloud Service, so updates and settings do not need a visit to each room.

When to look at MVC instead

Choose a Yealink MVC system when your IT policy calls for Windows-based Teams Rooms, when the room seats more than about 16, or when it needs ceiling microphones or more than one camera.

Common questions

What is a Yealink MeetingBar?

A MeetingBar is an all-in-one video bar. The camera, microphones, speakers and the computer that runs Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms are all inside one unit that sits above or below the display.

What is the difference between the MeetingBar A25, A40 and A50?

Room size. Yealink positions the A25 for focus rooms, the A40 for small rooms of up to about 12 people and the A50 for medium to large rooms of up to about 16 people.

Does a MeetingBar work with both Teams and Zoom?

Yes. MeetingBars are available for Microsoft Teams Rooms and for Zoom Rooms. Each room runs one platform as its home platform, chosen at setup.

Do I need a separate PC with a MeetingBar?

No. The meeting software runs on the bar itself. You add a display, and usually a touch console on the table.
