Choosing between the Poly Studio V72 and the Yealink MVC S50? Here's how they differ on room size, platforms, camera, audio and price, and which one fits your room.
Short answer: pick the Poly Studio V72 if you want the one that costs $600 less and also supports Zoom. Pick the Yealink MVC S50 if you want the one that runs meetings on its own with no room PC (appliance mode) and picks up voices farther away (33 ft vs 25 ft).
