How to set up the Yealink UVC34, from unboxing to a working test. It's a USB device: plug it into a laptop or room PC and it shows up as a camera, microphone and speaker in any meeting app.
Before you start: check the box
- UVC34 USB video bar
- VCR20 remote control + 2 AAA batteries
- Power adapter
- 7 m USB-B to USB-A cable
What you need
- Ports on the UVC34: USB 2.0 Type-B, USB 2.0 Type-A, Yealink mic port (RJ-45), built-in Wi-Fi.
- For USB mode: a laptop or room PC with a free USB port that matches the included cable. Plug directly into the computer rather than through a hub where possible.
- Power: DC 48V/0.7A adapter.

Step by step
-
Pick the position. Center the camera on the main display, just above or below the screen, at roughly seated eye level so people look at the camera when they look at the screen. See UVC34 mounting and placement.
-
Connect power and cables. Connect the power adapter. Then connect the cables your setup needs (USB 2.0 Type-B, USB 2.0 Type-A, Yealink mic port (RJ-45)). Use the cables in the box first; long runs may need the manufacturer's extender.
-
Set up USB mode. Connect the UVC34 to the computer by USB. In Teams, Zoom or Meet, open the device settings and select the UVC34 as the camera, microphone and speaker. Connect the USB camera/bar to the PC with the supplied USB cable. Before use, set the PC/meeting app audio input and output to the Yealink device (Yealink names it e.g. 'Echo Cancelling Speakerphone (Yealink UVC40 Audio)') and select the Yealink camera in Teams/Zoom. Install Yealink USB Connect for firmware updates and camera settings.
-
Update the firmware. USB cameras (e.g., UVC40/UVC86) update with Yealink USB Connect/RoomConnect on the PC, via Windows Update in MVC systems, or via the endpoint's web UI when attached to a Yealink system. See Updating the firmware below.
-
Run a test call. Join a test meeting, check framing from every seat, speak from the far end of the table, and have the remote side confirm they hear you clearly with no echo.
Updating the firmware
USB cameras (e.g., UVC40/UVC86) update with Yealink USB Connect/RoomConnect on the PC, via Windows Update in MVC systems, or via the endpoint's web UI when attached to a Yealink system. Do not unplug devices during an upgrade.
