RoomCast E2 is the replacement for the original Yealink RoomCast. Yealink ended sales of the original RoomCast on February 28, 2025, and recommends E2 for all new rooms. Both share up to four screens at once on a 4K display, but E2 moves to Android 14, adds dual Wi-Fi, and is built to work as a BYOD hub with Yealink USB video bars, cameras and mics. If you're buying today, buy E2. If you already own RoomCast, it's still supported, so there's no need to rip it out.
If you searched for "RoomCast V2," you most likely mean RoomCast E2, the second-generation model.

What changed in E2
BYOD conferencing
The biggest change. E2 is designed to sit between a laptop and the room's Yealink USB camera, video bar and microphones, so a guest can share wirelessly and run their own Teams or Zoom call through the room hardware. Setup is covered in RoomCast BYOD conferencing with a USB camera.
Wi-Fi and security
E2 uses a dual Wi-Fi design aimed at more stable casting with several users, and moves to AES 256-bit encryption.
Signage and management
E2 can show images and video as digital signage when the room is idle, managed from YMCS. That's also where you push tasks, run diagnostics and update firmware. See RoomCast for Zoom Rooms and digital signage.
Newer Android base
E2 runs Android 14, which matters for long-term security updates.
What stayed the same
- Up to four people can share on one screen at the same time.
- One-click sharing with a Yealink wireless presentation pod (button).
- PoE or DC power, and mounting behind a display or on a desk.
Share buttons are covered in pair RoomCast with WPP20, WPP30 or PA20 buttons.
Support for the original RoomCast
Under Yealink's end-of-life policy, the first year after end of sale includes hardware and software support plus bug and security fixes. Years two through five cover software bug fixes where feasible. No new features will be added. Spare parts depend on local distributors.
So an existing RoomCast is fine to keep running. Plan to replace it on your normal refresh cycle, or sooner if you need E2's BYOD features.
Which should you buy?
