What is the MeetingBar A30?
The MeetingBar A30 is Yealink's earlier-generation Android bar for medium rooms. It combines a 120° wide camera with a second optical camera that provides 10x hybrid zoom, giving it more reach toward the far end of a table than single-lens bars.
It has an 8-mic array rated to 6 m, supports dual displays, and runs Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms natively. It accepts Yealink expansion mics such as the VCM36-W for longer tables.
The A30 is a solid value pick for standard conference rooms, but it is the older platform. Buyers who want Android 13/MDEP, IntelliFocus, and the newest management features should look at the A40 (small-medium) or A50 (medium-large).

FAQ
Can I connect two displays?
Yes. Yealink lists dual-screen support on the A30.
Does the A30 support wireless mics?
Yes. It works with the Yealink VCM36-W wireless mic (and other Yealink mics per the compatibility list). Note that wireless accessories use the bar's hotspot, so the bar must be on wired Ethernet.
Can I use multiple microphone types at once?
No. The A30 uses one mic type at a time by priority (VCM38 > VCM35 > VCM34 > VCM36-W > CPW90 > built-in > line-in), though several identical mics can be connected.
Is the A30 still current?
It is still sold, but Yealink's newer A40 and A50 (Android 13 / MDEP) are the current medium-room bars and get the newest AI features like IntelliFocus.
How do you pair the MeetingBar A30?
If only CTP18 is reset, re-pair by entering the MeetingBar IP and sign in to Zoom Rooms again.
Where is the MeetingBar A30 manual?
Yealink publishes it: MeetingBar A30 user manual (PDF).
