Yealink BYOD Video Conferencing Kits Guide for Singapore

A BYOD (bring your own device) meeting room is one where the laptop runs the meeting and the room only supplies a USB camera, microphones, speakers and a screen; it is the right choice in Singapore when a room has to host Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet and Webex calls from different visitors, or when you are not ready to pay for a native room licence. Yealink covers it with the Yealink UVC40 E2 all-in-one USB video bar (S$645), the Yealink UVC34, the Yealink UVC84-BYOD and Yealink UVC85-BYOD-200 kits for medium and large rooms, and a set of hubs: the Yealink BYOD-BOX (S$195), Yealink VCH51 Pro (S$405), Yealink MShare (S$380), Yealink MVC-BYOD-Extender (S$475) and the Yealink RoomCast E2 wireless presentation system (S$785). This guide explains what each one does, which room it fits, and when a native Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms system is the better buy. For the whole Yealink line, start with our Yealink Singapore buyer's guide.

BYOD meeting room vs native Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms: which do you need?

In a native room, a Yealink MeetingBar or MVC kit runs Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android or Windows (or Zoom Rooms) itself and joins calendar meetings with one touch. In a BYOD room the hardware is platform-neutral: whoever plugs in decides the app.

BYOD is enough when the room is used by mixed tenants or visitors, when meetings are ad hoc rather than scheduled, or when you have a handful of rooms and no appetite for per-room licences. Go native when the room is booked back to back on one Teams or Zoom tenant, or when IT wants central monitoring. Our Yealink Microsoft Teams Rooms guide and Yealink Zoom Rooms ZVC guide cover the native route.

Which Yealink BYOD kit for which room size?

Room-size bands are our sizing convention (huddle up to 4, small 4 to 6, medium 6 to 12, large 12 to 20); Yealink's own pages describe the UVC40 E2 and UVC34 as huddle and small-room bars and the UVC84 and UVC85 kits as medium and large-room kits without seat counts. Yealink's standard warranty applies; confirm the term for your SKU when requesting a quote.

Yealink UVC40 E2 and UVC34: one USB bar for huddle and small rooms

The Yealink UVC40 E2 all-in-one USB 4K video bar is the simplest BYOD room we sell: one bar under the display, one USB cable to the laptop. Yealink specifies a 4K camera with a 120° super-wide lens, Smart Area Exposure for uneven lighting, Auto Framing and Speaker Tracking, eight MEMS microphones with beamforming, echo cancellation and full-duplex audio, a high-fidelity speaker and an electric lens cap for privacy. It is managed from the Yealink Device Management Platform and takes the VCM36-W wireless or VCM35 wired expansion microphone for longer tables. At S$645 and in stock, it is the lowest-cost route to a 4K video conferencing system for a huddle room.

The Yealink UVC34 all-in-one 4K USB video bar is the earlier-generation bar in the same class: an 8MP 1/2.8-inch sensor with 4K/30 output, a 120° field of view, 5x e-PTZ, auto framing, an 8-microphone array rated for 4.5 m pickup and a 5W speaker, with USB 2.0, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 and a 7 m USB cable in the box. It is price on request; quoted per room configuration. Both bars pair naturally with a BYOD-BOX so that users get a single USB-C cable instead of USB plus HDMI.

UVC84 and UVC85 BYOD kits for medium and large rooms

Once the table seats more than six, the camera and audio need to separate. The Yealink UVC85-BYOD-200 is the current medium-to-large BYOD room system: the UVC85 4K PTZ camera (12x optical and 3x digital zoom, 90° diagonal field of view, mechanical PTZ with auto-framing) with the CP50 conference speakerphone, whose 8-element 360° array picks up to 6 m. Up to seven CPE40 expansion microphones daisy-chain to the CP50 over PoE network cable for long boardroom tables, and the laptop connects with a single USB-C cable. The UVC85-BYOD-200 BYOD room system is price on request; quoted per room configuration.

The three Yealink UVC84-BYOD kits use the UVC84 4K PTZ camera with 12x optical zoom (36x total HD zoom) and auto framing. The UVC84-BYOD-H00 is the camera plus a BYOD Box so you add your own room audio; the UVC84-BYOD-050 adds the MSpeech USB speakerphone for a medium room; and the UVC84-BYOD-210 pairs the camera with two VCM34 microphone arrays and the MSpeaker II soundbar for a large room. Yealink lists the UVC84-BYOD family as end-of-sale since 30 June 2025 and these kits show no stock on hand, so they are available to order subject to distributor stock; for a new room we quote the UVC85-BYOD-200 first. If you want to build your own, the MSpeaker II (S$355), Mspeech (S$525) and VCM34 (S$360) are sold separately, and our Yealink UVC camera guide compares every camera in the range.

BYOD-BOX, VCH51 Pro, MShare or MVC-BYOD-Extender: which hub do you need?

Yealink BYOD-BOX (S$195, in stock) is the hub for pure BYOD rooms built on USB cameras and speakerphones. The laptop connects with one USB-C cable (with charging), the box provides two USB 3.0 Type-A ports for the camera and audio device, an HDMI output for the room display and a USB-C port for its PD adapter. It is the box inside the UVC40-BYOD and UVC84-BYOD kits.

Yealink VCH51 Pro content sharing and BYOD hub (S$405, in stock) is for native rooms that also need BYOD. Yealink describes it as a one-cable solution for BYOD, content sharing and laptop power with up to 4K/60 content sharing, compatible with MTR-A devices (MeetingBar A10, A25, A40, A50, MeetingBoard Pro, MeetingEye 500) and MTR-W kits (MVC S40, S80, S90, S98 and ZVC S40, S80, S90, S98, with S50 listed as coming soon). The older VCH51 Sharing Box (S$265) is available to order.

Yealink MShare screen sharing box (S$380, in stock) is wired content sharing at up to 1080p/30 through HDMI or Mini-DP inputs, with a built-in 2.4G/5GHz Wi-Fi access point for the WPP20 wireless pod and USB 2.0 Type-B and Type-A ports; Yealink states it is certified by Zoom and Microsoft. It ships with 7 m and 1.2 m USB cables and a Mini-DP cable.

Yealink MVC-BYOD-Extender (S$475, in stock) lets an older MVC Teams room switch to another UC platform: the user plugs in the extender's USB cable and runs the meeting from their laptop using the room camera and audio. Yealink lists support for the MVC400, MVC640-wireless, MVC840, MVC860, MVC940 with AVHub and MVC960; for the current MVC S-series, the VCH51 Pro is the documented hub, so tell us which MVC generation you have.

Can a MeetingBar or MVC room also run BYOD?

Yes. The Yealink MeetingBar A40 runs Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android natively and also offers a General Mode (BYOM) and a USB mode; with the CTP25 touch console, a single USB-C cable from the console carries 4K sharing, BYOD and laptop charging. The same applies to the A50. A MeetingBar therefore gives you a native room and a BYOD room in one unit; the lineup is compared in our MeetingBar A10 vs A25 vs A40 vs A50 comparison.

For wireless presentation, the Yealink RoomCast E2 (S$785, in stock) is a multi-user wireless content sharing system with 4K output, up to four devices on one screen, AES 256-bit encryption, dual Wi-Fi, PoE or DC power and one-click casting with the WPP30 4K wireless presentation pod (S$515). Yealink has discontinued the original RoomCast (S$495) since 28 February 2025 and names RoomCast E2 as its replacement; the original worked with Miracast, AirPlay and Google Cast, so confirm the protocol list you need for the E2 when requesting a quote.

What we see in Singapore BYOD deployments

Most huddle rooms we quote use a single USB bar plus a BYOD-BOX, so the only cable on the table is USB-C. Medium rooms on mixed platforms usually end up with a PTZ camera kit, because a bar at the front of a 4 m table cannot frame the far end. The common mistake is to buy a BYOD kit for a room that is really a scheduled Teams room: once staff expect one-touch join, a native MeetingBar costs less in support time than the licence saves.

Frequently asked questions

What is a BYOD meeting room? A room where the laptop runs the meeting app and the room supplies a USB camera, microphone, speaker and display. No room licence is needed and any platform works.

Which Yealink BYOD kit suits a 6-person room? The Yealink UVC40 E2 USB video bar (S$645) with a BYOD-BOX (S$195). For 6 to 12 people, move to the UVC85-BYOD-200 or a UVC84-BYOD kit, which are quoted per room.

Does the UVC40 E2 work with Microsoft Teams and Zoom? Yes. It is a USB video bar that Yealink lists as applicable to most video conferencing platforms, so Teams, Zoom, Google Meet and Webex run from the connected laptop.

What is the difference between the BYOD-BOX and the VCH51 Pro? The BYOD-BOX joins a USB camera, speakerphone and display into one USB-C cable for pure BYOD rooms. The VCH51 Pro adds one-cable BYOD and 4K/60 content sharing to a native MeetingBar, MeetingBoard, MVC or ZVC room.

Can I turn a Yealink MeetingBar into a BYOD room? Yes. The MeetingBar A40 and A50 offer a BYOM (General Mode) and a USB mode alongside native Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android.

Are the UVC84-BYOD kits still available? Yealink lists the UVC84-BYOD as end-of-sale since 30 June 2025. They are available to order subject to distributor stock; the UVC85-BYOD-200 is the current kit.

Do I need a Teams Rooms licence for a BYOD room? No. The meeting runs on the host's own Teams or Zoom account on the laptop.
