What size room the Yealink MeetingBoard 86 Pro covers, how many people it suits and when you need extra microphones.
Short answer
We recommend it for medium rooms (6–10 people) and large rooms (10–16 people); it also suits classrooms.
The specs that decide room size
| Camera | Built-in triple 50MP, HFOV 98.2°, 8x digital zoom; optional MB-12X Pro 12x optical module |
| Microphones | Built-in 16 MEMS microphone array, 12 m full-duplex pickup |
| Speakers | Stereo, 30 W rated |
How room sizes map to people
| Room type | Typical people | Typical size |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 4–6 | 150–250 sq ft |
| Medium (this one) | 6–10 | 250–400 sq ft |
| Large (this one) | 10–16 | 400–600 sq ft |
| Boardroom | 16+ | 600+ sq ft |
General industry guidance; furniture, room shape and acoustics change what works.
When to add microphones
The built-in microphones pick up about 39 ft (12 m). Add a table or ceiling mic if the farthest seat is more than about 39 ft from the collaboration board.
