Logitech Tap IP 2 vs Yealink CTP25: Which Meeting Room Controller Makes More Sense?
The one that matches your room system. The Logitech Tap IP 2 and the Yealink CTP25 are both 10.1-inch, PoE-powered touch controllers for Android-based meeting rooms, and each is designed to pair with its own brand's video bars. Choose Tap IP 2 for a Logitech Rally room: it has a sharper 1920×1200 screen, radar and PIR motion sensing, and supports Teams Rooms on Android, Zoom Rooms and Google Meet. Choose the CTP25 for a Yealink MeetingBar room: it adds USB-C wired content sharing and is on Microsoft's certified list for Teams Rooms on Android until 15 Aug 2028. At SourceIT the Tap IP 2 is S$1,797.12 and the CTP25 S$1,025.00 (listed 2 Nov 2026). Logitech's US site showed the Graphite Tap IP 2 as "Coming soon" on 2 Nov 2026, so ask us about lead times. We have not tested either panel ourselves.

What is better about Tap IP 2?
- A sharper screen. 1920×1200 against 1280×800, which helps with small text on room menus and layout previews. Logitech's datasheet lists 380 nits against 400 on the original Tap IP, so "brighter" is not supported by the figures; the gain is resolution and contrast (1500:1).
- Motion and radar wake. The panel wakes as people approach, so the room is ready when they sit down.
- Three platforms. Teams Rooms on Android, Zoom Rooms and Google Meet, which matters for companies that host Teams but join client meetings on Zoom or Meet.
- Existing mounts fit. Logitech says Tap IP 2 works with existing Tap and Tap IP mounts, such as the Tap Table Mount, Wall Mount or Riser Mount (S$438.75 each, listed 2 Nov 2026).
Generation-to-generation detail is in Tap IP 2 vs Tap IP.
What is better about the CTP25?
- Wired sharing at the table. A USB-C port for plugging in a laptop is useful for guests whose devices cannot cast wirelessly.
- Published certification. It appears on Microsoft's Teams Rooms on Android certified list. Tap IP 2 launched in October 2026, after the list was last updated, so check Logitech's certification page for its current status.
- A current Yealink pairing. It works with the A40, which Yealink's older CTP18 does not support, and is sold bundled with the A50, A40 and A25 bars.
A room controller is the part people actually touch. Pick the one that belongs to the bar, then check it can do the one thing your users always ask for.
How do deployment and management compare?
Both are single-cable PoE devices, so a network switch with 802.3af PoE ports at the table or wall position is enough. Both appear in Microsoft's Teams Admin Center when used in a Teams room. Beyond that, each vendor has its own console: Logitech Sync for Tap IP 2 alongside Logitech bars, cameras and schedulers, and Yealink's device management for CTP25 alongside Yealink bars. Running one brand per room, and ideally one brand per site, keeps updates and support simpler. See Can Your IT Team Manage 100 Different Conference Room Devices?
Can you mix them? Not usefully. A controller pairs with a room system running the same meeting software, and each panel is designed around its own vendor's bars. A Yealink panel in front of a Logitech bar, or the reverse, is not a combination either vendor documents.
Which should you choose?
- Logitech Rally Bar 2 room: Tap IP 2. See Logitech Rally Bar 2.
- Yealink A40 or A50 room: CTP25, ideally as a bundle.
- Visitors often plug in laptops: the CTP25's USB-C sharing, or a separate wired-sharing kit in a Logitech room.
- Mixed Teams, Zoom and Google Meet use: Tap IP 2's three-platform support.
