Choosing between the Yealink UVC34 and the Poly Studio V12? Here's how they differ on room size, platforms, camera, audio and price, and which one fits your room.
Short answer: pick the Yealink UVC34 if you want the one that costs $1,133 less and is sized for smaller rooms, so you don't pay for range you won't use. Pick the Poly Studio V12 if you want the one that covers bigger rooms (up to small rooms) and also supports Teams and Zoom.
Both are USB video bars; the difference is camera and audio.
