Licences and accounts
Every Teams Room signs in with its own room account and needs a Teams Rooms licence. You buy licences from Microsoft directly and your IT team creates the accounts. We send a short checklist before installation so nothing holds up the day.
Security on Android rooms
The MeetingBar A50 is built on the Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform, Microsoft's own Android base for Teams devices, which brings a common security and update model.
Room booking panels
A scheduling panel outside the door shows whether the room is free and lets people book it on the spot. We supply and install Teams room schedulers alongside the room system.
What 21st Century AV does
We survey the room, recommend the Yealink system, install and configure it, and train your users. After handover we offer service contracts and first-line Teams Rooms support.
Common questions
What is the difference between Teams Rooms on Android and on Windows?
On Android, the Teams Rooms app runs inside the video bar, so there is one device to install. On Windows, it runs on a separate mini-PC, which suits larger rooms and IT teams that manage Windows devices centrally. People in the meeting get much the same experience either way.
Which Yealink devices run Microsoft Teams Rooms?
The MeetingBar A25, A40 and A50 run Teams Rooms on Android. The MVC S40, S50, S80, S90 and S98 run Teams Rooms on Windows.
What licence does a Teams Room need?
Each room needs a Microsoft Teams Rooms licence assigned to its room account. Microsoft offers a free Basic tier with limits and a paid Pro tier. You buy these from Microsoft, and we confirm which one each room needs.
Who sets up the room account?
Your IT team creates the room's resource account in Microsoft 365 and assigns the licence. We give them a checklist beforehand and sign the device in on installation day.
