Suggestion for MS Teams compatible hardware

Hey guys,

I want to use a hardware with MS Teams and Camera but also the hardware for normal phone calls.

Is there something which can both, and is user-friendly-

I looked here: https://products.office.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/across-devices/devices but have no idea which could fit. 

 

Yeallink CP960 could be nice, which Camera (maybe with a NUC between). But would it work? and do i need MS Teams console?

Best and cheers.

      short and sweet I need a hardware which has teams room console included, and where it is possible to connect separate devices (mac or windows) for using, bluejeans, webex, zoom etc.)

       

      is this existing?

      best

        salihzett Any of the certified Microsoft Teams Rooms devices have an HDMI ingest which will let you connect and share the screen off of a laptop (PC or Mac). Note that you will be using the laptop to run those meetings and thus the laptop camera/microphone though you could add USB devices to the laptop to improve that audio\video.

         

        If you want to use the Teams Room audio/video to handle the external meetings, you'll have to look into a Cloud Video Interop.

         

        Coming soon (no specific date available) Teams Rooms will be able to natively connect to Zoom and Webex meetings without the need for a third party Could Video Interop.

    Hi salihzett

    You have a couple of options..

    If you want to have a static setup for a room:
    - Teams Room with Yealink MVC300 or MVC500 (https://www.yealink.com/products_154.html)
    this one is using a NUC with Teams Rooms system installed (normally used for a small meeting room).

    If you travel i would advise to use:
    - yealink speaker phone (CP900) or just a headset
    - any webcam you want to use (usb)

    What kind of situation are you looking for?
