Which Yealink system for which room?
Start with the number of seats. This guide matches each room size to the Yealink system built for it, and lists what the room itself needs.
Small meeting room
Yealink MeetingBar A40
One bar under the screen holds the camera, microphones, speakers and the meeting computer.
Focus and huddle rooms: 2 to 5 people
People sit close to the screen, so the camera needs a wide view and the bar needs to be small. The MeetingBar A25 is Yealink's bar for these rooms. It sits under a single display and needs one power and one network connection.
Small rooms: 6 to 10 people
The MeetingBar A40 is positioned for small rooms of up to about 12 people. If your organisation standardises on Windows-based Teams Rooms, the MVC S40 covers the same room size.
Medium rooms: 11 to 16 people
Longer tables put the furthest person a long way from the microphones. The MeetingBar A50 is designed for medium to large rooms of up to about 16 people. The MVC S50 pairs the same bar with a Windows mini-PC.
Large rooms: 17 to 25 people
One bar at the front is no longer enough on its own. The MVC S80 and MVC S90 add stronger cameras and extra microphones, and the S90 uses multiple cameras for rooms of up to about 25 people.
Boardrooms, training rooms and divisible spaces
These rooms need a design, not a box. The MVC S98 is Yealink's ProAV system, built to work with ceiling microphones, several cameras and room control. We survey the space and draw the system before quoting.
What every room needs, whatever the system
- A display sized so the furthest person can read shared content.
- The camera close to eye level, usually directly below the screen.
- A wired network connection. Meeting rooms should not rely on Wi-Fi.
- Soft surfaces. Glass walls and bare ceilings make any microphone sound worse.
- A way to share a laptop, by cable at the table or wirelessly.

Common questions
How do I measure a room for a video bar?
Count the seats, then measure from the screen wall to the furthest seat. An all-in-one bar has to see and hear that furthest person, so depth matters more than floor area.
Should the camera go above or below the screen?
Mount it as close to eye level as you can. In most rooms that means directly below the display, so people at the table appear to look at the far end rather than down at it.
What does the room need before installation?
A power socket and a wired network point behind the display, a solid wall or stand for the screen, and a cable route to the table if you want a touch console or a laptop connection there.
When is an all-in-one bar not enough?
When the room is long, seats more than about 16, has a divisible wall, or needs ceiling microphones and several cameras. Those rooms suit a Yealink MVC kit or a designed system.
