Yealink MeetingBar A20 Teams Successor for Focus Rooms Dubai

Yealink MeetingBar A20 Buyer? Order the Current A25-Class Teams Room Instead

The Yealink MeetingBar A20 helped define the all-in-one Teams Room for small meeting spaces, but A20 buyers in Dubai should now look at the newer Yealink MeetingBar A25. It keeps the same “no PC in the room” idea — camera, microphones, speaker and room compute in one bar — and moves the small-room experience forward with a triple 4K camera system, a 151° ultra-wide field of view, IntelliFocus, Video Fence, improved AI audio and the newer CTP25 touch console. For offices replacing an A20, refreshing a laptop-based meeting room, or building a dedicated Microsoft Teams Room in Business Bay, DIFC, DMCC or JLT, this is the cleaner current-generation choice.

Teams Room, Zoom Room or BYOD? Choose the Right Mode Before You Order

MeetingBar models are platform-specific at order and setup stage. A Microsoft Teams Room is not the same purchase as a generic USB camera, and a Zoom Room is not configured like a Teams Room. The buyer mistake is ordering “a video bar” without confirming the room platform, licence and control method first. Vector Digital Systems confirms this before quoting so the room goes live without rework.

Your Meeting Platform	Right Yealink Route	What You Need
Microsoft Teams Rooms	Yealink MeetingBar A25 Teams Room package with CTP25 touch console	Microsoft Teams Rooms licence, room account, display, network and Teams Admin Center access
Zoom Rooms	Yealink MeetingBar Zoom Rooms version — ask David to verify the current Zoom SKU	Zoom Rooms licence, room account, display, network and Zoom Device Management access
BYOD — Teams, Zoom, Webex or Google Meet from a laptop	A25 used as the room camera, microphone and speaker through wired device mode	Laptop USB-C connection from the touch console, with the meeting app running on the user laptop

Certification note: Teams Room certification was checked on 24 July 2026 before this content was prepared. Always confirm the exact SKU at quote stage because Teams, Zoom and regional bundle codes can differ.

Power and Cabling Truth — This Is Not a USB Webcam

The MeetingBar A25 is a room system, not a desk webcam. It needs a meeting-room display, wired network, proper mounting position, a room account and the CTP25 touch console. The bar-to-console connection is simplified through a single Cat5e cable, while a USB-C cable from the console can be used for wired content sharing and BYOD mode. We confirm power socket position, display HDMI access, network VLAN, Teams Rooms licence and table-console placement before dispatch, because the meeting room must be ready as a system — not just as a box.

Why the A25 Replaces the A20 Conversation

The older A20 was built around a 20MP single-camera experience for small rooms. The A25 moves the focus-room class into a triple-camera system with a wider 151° view, stronger meeting-equity features and a newer console workflow. That matters in Dubai’s compact glass rooms, where the table often sits close to the wall and participants sit near the screen. The A25 captures people at the room edges more naturally and uses AI framing to keep the far-end meeting focused on faces rather than empty wall space.

A25 in the Yealink MeetingBar Range — Where It Sits

Choose the A25 for focus rooms and small huddle spaces. Step down to A10 for a very small 1–3 person room where budget and simplicity matter more than camera coverage. Step up to A40 where the table is longer, the room seats more people, or you need extended microphone support. The goal is not to buy the biggest bar — it is to size the camera field of view, microphone pickup and speaker output to the actual Dubai meeting room.

Where the Yealink MeetingBar A25 Works in Dubai

DIFC and DMCC focus rooms. Small meeting rooms are often the hardest rooms to make fair for remote attendees. People sit close to the screen, the table is pushed against the wall, and a normal webcam either crops the edge seat or turns everyone into a wide-angle blur. The A25’s triple-camera design and 151° view are made for exactly this shape of room.

Business Bay and JLT hybrid-work rooms. Many UAE offices still run Teams meetings from a laptop balanced at the end of the table. The A25 turns that space into a dedicated Teams Room: one touch to join, room audio instead of laptop speakers, and a camera that follows the people in the room instead of staring at empty chairs.

SME boardrooms and branch offices. For owner-managed companies, clinics, legal offices, consultants and training rooms, the A25 gives a professional Teams Room experience without the complexity of a multi-component Windows-room build. The bar, touch console, display and room account form one predictable system that your admin can manage through the Microsoft Teams Admin Center.

A20 refresh projects. If your office originally deployed MeetingBar A20 units, the A25 is the natural refresh conversation for compact rooms. Vector Digital Systems can check your old mounting position, display, room account, network port and Teams licence before quoting, then stage the new room kit so the swap is quick and tidy.

Staging Before Dispatch — What Vector Digital Systems Checks

Every Yealink MeetingBar A25 Teams Room quoted by Vector Digital Systems is handled as a room deployment, not a loose accessory. We confirm the room platform, Teams Rooms licence, room account status, display readiness, wired network port, VLAN or firewall notes, touch-console placement and required cable route. Before dispatch we prepare the device workflow, label the kit, confirm firmware direction, document the sign-in sequence, and run a practical room-readiness checklist so your IT team knows exactly what to connect on installation day.

Frequently Asked Questions — Yealink MeetingBar A25 Teams Room

Is the Yealink MeetingBar A20 still the right model to buy?

For new Teams Room projects, ask for the current MeetingBar A25-class quote instead of building a new page around the older A20. The A25 gives a newer triple 4K camera system, wider 151° field of view, CTP25 touch console workflow and improved AI room features for compact focus rooms.

Is the Yealink MeetingBar A25 Microsoft Teams certified?

Yes — Yealink MeetingBar A25 with Touch Panel CTP25 was checked against Microsoft’s Teams enabled device listing on 24 July 2026 before this content was prepared. Vector Digital Systems still confirms the exact Teams Room SKU during quote because bundle codes can vary by region and platform.

Does the A25 work with Zoom Rooms as well as Microsoft Teams Rooms?

The A25 family supports Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms and BYOD workflows, but the correct platform version and room setup must be confirmed before purchase. Tell David whether the room is Microsoft Teams, Zoom or laptop-based BYOD so the right SKU and setup path are quoted.

What room size is the Yealink MeetingBar A25 designed for?

The A25 is designed for focus rooms and compact huddle rooms, typically around 2–5 people depending on room shape. It is ideal for small Dubai meeting rooms where the table is close to the display and a wide 151° camera view is needed to capture everyone clearly.

A25 vs A40 — which Yealink MeetingBar should I buy?

Choose the A25 for a compact focus room or A20 refresh where wide camera coverage and simple deployment matter most. Choose the A40 when the room is larger, seats more people, needs stronger speaker coverage or may require extended microphone support. Vector Digital Systems sizes the model to the room before quoting.

Does the Yealink MeetingBar A25 need a separate PC?

No — the A25 is an all-in-one Android video bar for dedicated room use, so the room does not need a separate PC for normal Teams Rooms operation. A laptop can still be connected through the touch console for wired sharing or BYOD mode when required.

What do I need before installing a Teams Room with A25?

You need a Teams Rooms licence, a room account, a display, wired network, suitable power, the A25 video bar, CTP25 touch console and a clear mounting/cable plan. Vector Digital Systems confirms these items before dispatch so the installation does not stall on licence, network or display readiness.

Who is the authorised Yealink supplier in Dubai?

Vector Digital Systems LLC has supplied Yealink solutions in Dubai since 2009. David handles Yealink pre-sales specification, Teams Room sizing, project pricing, staging and local warranty coordination for UAE and export customers.

Does Vector Digital Systems configure the Yealink MeetingBar before delivery?

Yes — Vector Digital Systems checks the room platform, licence, room account, display, network and console placement before dispatch. The kit is prepared with a clear sign-in and installation workflow so your IT team can bring the Teams Room online quickly.

Does Vector Digital Systems export Yealink Teams Room systems from Dubai?

Yes — Vector Digital Systems exports Yealink room systems from Dubai to integrators, corporate IT teams and telecom buyers in Oman, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan, Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria and Pakistan.
