Quick Answer
In extra-large rooms (Yealink defines these as 18+ people), a single camera can’t show every face in useful detail — so multi-camera Microsoft Teams Rooms kits are the answer. The certified Yealink MVC940 ships with two UVC84 cameras and a Camera-hub that supports up to 9 cameras, with fullscreen, division, and surround layouts managed from the included MTouch II touch controller.
One of the supreme advantages of Microsoft Teams as a collaboration platform is its flexibility: you can text and video conference across all your devices in the same app, and because it integrates with other Microsoft 365 apps, you can share files, set up reminders, and much more.
The same flexibility applies to how many people Teams supports for video calls — it works as well for one person on a smartphone as for an extra-large conference room with 30 people in it.
Why Do Extra-Large Rooms Need Multiple Cameras?
The single-camera problem: extra-large rooms come with extra complications, and one of the biggest is the camera. A single camera probably won’t work for an extra-large room, even if it’s a PTZ camera, because there are too many faces — if it captures the whole group, then everyone’s face is too small.
That’s why many companies now employ multi-camera video conferencing in large rooms.
What Is in the Yealink MVC940 Kit?
Yealink works with Microsoft to provide certified Microsoft Teams video conferencing kits. For extra-large rooms, they offer the Yealink MVC940.
What’s included: two UVC84 cameras and a Camera-hub, plus a mini-PC, two wireless presentation pods, and a touch controller. (Yealink defines an extra-large conference room as one where 18 or more people are present.)
Expandable to 9 cameras: the kit comes with two cameras, but the system actually supports up to 9. You could add seven more and have excellent coverage even in an auditorium.
Where Should You Place the Cameras?
There are many options for camera placement. Many rooms have one large table in the middle; if that’s the case, here are two common setups:
- Cameras in the front of the room. Place two cameras in the front, one trained on the participants on each side of the table. This is Yealink’s recommended setup for using MVC940 without extra cameras.
- Cameras on the sides of the room. Place cameras on the side walls above head height, trained on the participants. With additional cameras, each camera captures fewer faces, which can make everyone look better.
Presenter camera: you might also consider a camera at the end of the room facing the front, enabled when someone is giving a presentation — a common setup in educational situations for showing the teacher. When no one is presenting, just switch off that camera feed.
How Does the Yealink Camera-hub Work?
Camera-hub is a dedicated device that helps you customize the layout for multi-camera setups. There are 3 viewing layouts to choose from:
- Fullscreen Mode. The feed from one camera takes up the whole display.
- Division Mode. The feeds from all the cameras are displayed equally.
- Surround Mode. The feed from one camera is big while the others are smaller around it.
Control from the MTouch II: you select the mode and which camera feed goes where using the included MTouch II touch controller. The touch panel also lets you adjust the cameras individually to get the best shot, manage meetings, start calls, and a lot of other stuff.
Network-based installation: you don’t connect cameras directly to Camera-hub. Instead, you connect both the cameras and Camera-hub to your network switch, which simplifies installation and lets you place Camera-hub out of the way, reducing cable clutter in the room.
