It’s no secret that we think Yealink kit is the very best in the business when it comes to reliable and effective video conferencing solutions. We’ve spoken frequently about their Teams Rooms devices, particularly the Yealink A40 and Yealink A50, and why they’re the ultimate addition to modern meeting rooms. However, not every room or meeting is compatible with or even needs a fixed room solution.
This is where the brand’s latest innovation – the Yealink MeetingBoard Pro – comes in. It’s an all-in-one, whiteboard-like device built for flexibility and innovation. For meetings in open or dynamic spaces, it’s the Yealink MeetingBoard Pro that will make your video meetings more engaging and productive. Here’s how and why.
What Is The Yealink MeetingBoard Pro?
The Yealink MeetingBoard Pro is a freestanding, touchscreen video conferencing and collaboration device. Unlike other Yealink video conferencing systems, which link an all-in-one video bar and central control panel with a separate screen, the MeetingBoard Pro has all of the necessary tech packed into the screen component itself. You can use it as a standalone system on wheels with its mobile stand, or seamlessly integrate it into a specific room with wall-hung integration.
It supports the necessary range of video conferencing platforms with Microsoft Teams and Zoom versions available, and a sleek 4K touchscreen (3 sizes available) that lets you interact with content as naturally as you would a traditional whiteboard.
Key Features
On the surface, the Yealink MeetingBoard Pro might look like a fancy display screen. However, it’s what’s beneath the surface that has us particularly excited. It’s built with intelligent AI and premium hardware to offer one of the most collaborative and user-friendly video conferencing solutions available to businesses right now.
Some of the key technical features include:
Triple Camera System
The Yealink MeetingBoard Pro incorporates a performance-ready triple 50MP camera system, complete with wide-angle and telephoto lenses. This system is combined with a 12x Pro PTZ camera and advanced AI tracking, ensuring every detail of the meeting and its participants is crystal-clear no matter the positioning. An electric privacy shutter also guarantees peace of mind without the need for extra devices when the meeting wraps up.
Intelligent Framing
Thanks to clever and built-in IntelliFocus features, the MeetingBoard Pro keeps meetings as engaging as in-person collaboration. The active speaker is automatically highlighted, allowing interactions to take place just as naturally as a face-to-face conversation. The system also utilises the Video Fence functionality we’ve seen work so well in the A40 and A50, creating a virtual boundary around your space so that only relevant faces are included. This prevents background motion and the less aesthetically pleasing elements of your meeting room from being on display, ensuring you’re always giving the right impression on video calls.
Professional Sound
Audio quality can make or break a video meeting, and this Yealink video conferencing solution certainly takes this into account. Its 36W stereo speakers are capable of filling even larger meeting spaces with rich and clear sound, while the 16-MEMS microphone array, enhanced with AI, offers full-duplex coverage of up to 12 metres. The result is meetings where every voice is captured and heard with precision, even from the back of the room and remote participants.
Creative Writing Capabilities
On the surface, the MeetingBoard Pro looks like a sleek television screen. However, it actually operates like a sleek digital whiteboard thanks to premium inking, collaborative diagrams, and multi-user writing capabilities. Brainstorming can be activated by a simple touch of the screen, with pen-tip writing and pen-tail erasing making the process of creating, sharing, and discussing ideas seamless.
Easy Content Sharing
Whether deployed for a quick brainstorm or the centrepiece of a detailed pitch or presentation, sharing and displaying content via the Yealink MeetingBoard Pro couldn’t be easier. Simply go wireless with a plug-and-share dongle, AirPlay, or Miracast. For a foolproof connection, you can also sync up via HDMI, USB-C, or a plug-and-share box. Plus, the 4K screen and anti-glare technology guarantee that, when displayed, your content looks crisp, clear, and engaging from every angle. Impressions count, and with this device, Yealink have ensured yours are as good as they can be.
Business Benefits
There’s certainly no doubt that this new video conferencing solution is packed with impressive technical capabilities, but why does this actually matter, and what is the possible benefit to your business? These are certainly valid questions, and the answer lies in flexibility.
Hybrid working is now the norm, and it’s increasingly rare that important meetings take place with all participants physically in the room. Whether you suddenly realise that colleagues are working from home before an important meeting or need to connect with clients further afield as a team from an open working space, the MeetingBoard Pro can simply be brought in and enable communication as if everyone were in the room. This flexibility equally pays dividends if you find yourself in an unequipped space or need to host an impromptu meeting virtually. Just roll the device in and start collaborating instantly.
The Yealink MeetingBoard Pro is also a fantastic creativity tool, allowing your teams to draw, sketch, and brainstorm together. You’ll have confidence that everyone can see and hear each other at the right times throughout, and know that the touchscreen technology will help, not hinder, the flow and exchange of new ideas.
