How to set up a Yealink MeetingBar

Updated

To set up a Yealink MeetingBar, mount it above or below the display, connect it to the display by HDMI, plug in Ethernet and power, then connect the Yealink touch panel to the network (PoE) and pair it with the bar. On first boot, choose Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms, sign in with the room account, and run a test call. A Yealink wireless sharing dongle can be paired for one-touch content sharing.

What is a Yealink MeetingBar?

A Yealink MeetingBar is an all-in-one Android video bar with a camera, microphones and speakers. It runs Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms natively, so the room doesn't need a PC. Yealink sells MeetingBars as kits with a touch panel (for Teams or Zoom) and, in some kits, a wireless sharing dongle. Model names include the A10, A20, A30 and A40 lines, with larger numbers aimed at larger rooms. Check Yealink's current lineup for the latest models and kits.

We stock the MeetingBar A10, A25, A30, A40 and A50. See our Yealink overview and Yealink Teams Rooms systems.

Setup steps

  1. Mount the bar. Below the display in small rooms, above it in larger rooms, centered. Use the included bracket or a Yealink TV mount. See Yealink MeetingBar mounting.
  2. Connect the display. Run HDMI from the MeetingBar's HDMI out to the display. Some models support a second display.
  3. Connect the network. Plug Ethernet into the bar. Wired is recommended for meetings.
  4. Connect the touch panel. Plug the panel into a PoE switch port (or a PoE injector) on the same network. Some setups connect the panel directly to the bar; follow your kit's quick start guide.
  5. Power on. Connect the bar's power adapter. The display shows the setup screen.
  6. Pair the touch panel with the bar following the on-screen prompts.
  7. Choose your platform: Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms.
  8. Sign in.
  9. Update firmware before going live. See Yealink firmware and reset.
  10. Change the default admin password in the device web interface. See Yealink MeetingBar default password.
  11. Test a call, content sharing and camera framing.

Using the sharing dongle

Yealink's WPP-series wireless presentation pods pair with a MeetingBar for one-touch sharing:

  1. Plug the dongle into the MeetingBar's USB port to pair it.
  2. Plug the dongle into a laptop's USB-C or USB-A port.
  3. Press the button to share the laptop screen to the room display.

Teams or Zoom mode?

Pick the platform your organization uses. Both Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms can join the other's meetings as a guest in many cases. Switching platforms later usually requires a factory reset and new setup. See Teams Rooms vs Zoom Rooms.

Warranty

Yealink provides a manufacturer warranty on MeetingBars; length and terms depend on the product and region. Keep the purchase invoice and serial number. Check Yealink's warranty policy for current coverage, and register devices with Yealink's management service where available.

Troubleshooting

Touch panel won't pair Confirm PoE power and that panel and bar are on the same network/VLAN
No picture Check HDMI cable and display input
