Does the Yealink MeetingBar A40 work with Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet? Here's what it supports and how each one works. It works two ways: as an appliance that runs Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms or another platform on the device itself, or in USB mode connected to a laptop or room PC, so it works with any meeting app.

MeetingBar A40 with Microsoft Teams Rooms

MeetingBar A40 with Zoom Rooms
Zoom Rooms appliances need a Zoom Rooms license for the room. In USB mode the MeetingBar A40 works with regular Zoom on a laptop, with no room license. More on Zoom Rooms
MeetingBar A40 with any other app (BYOD)
Over USB the MeetingBar A40 is a standard camera, microphone and speaker, so it works with Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Webex, GoTo and others, including Google Meet and Webex even though it isn't certified for them. More on BYOD rooms
Appliance or USB: which should you use?
Appliance mode gives the room a one-touch join button and no PC to maintain, but it ties the room to one main platform. USB mode lets anyone plug in a laptop and use whatever app the meeting is on. Many businesses run appliance mode for their main platform and use the BYOD/HDMI input for guests.
