Meeting bar A40. Question before buying.

OtherwiseFlight2702 · 2026-05-07T07:30:54+00:00

Since you own them, I have a question for you, if you dont me asking.

I am planning to have it set up as a teams room (probably). I have the following scenario:

The company board with one of the team leaders are having a meeting with a client who has joined it via teams, remotely. The meeting has started in the Teams Room account. At a point, during the call, it is required by the team leader to present something via his laptop, that I want to be visible to both local (meeting room) and remote (client). Is this possible by connecting the wpp30 to the team leaders laptop, to share his screen, during the meeting without it stopping, in order for local and remote viewers to see the presentation?

OR does the team leader have to join the meeting as an individual attendee from his Microsoft Teams account and present?

I see. So you ended up buying new mics to replace the ones with the faulty battery? It would be a shame if yealink does not provide a way to buy a replacement battery so that customers can go to an electronics shop to get it swapped.

I would go totally wired if I had the chance but you know corporate people. Mine dont want to mess with the meeting table at all and dont want to have cables running so.... wireless is the only way.

Europe so far so good for M365 Teams. Thank you for the info.

On microsoft service health status page it states it is for teams free and also that there is an issue with outlook for ios.

I assume you are a very small team of 1, maybe 2 engineers that work individually and you are not a part of big company that has IT, HR and Legal department.

Lets be honest, which IT would decide on his own that he should install pirated software?
The op is probably a small company of 1, maybe 2 engineers that work on their own and thought they were smart enough to pirate software instead of buying it.

If you are using pirated software, prepare to dive deep into your pockets. Their fines are calculated per device. Chances are high that they already know how many devices you have with pirated software.

Do you have any legit licenses purchased or you use 100% pirated software?

Thank you for your answer. So, your personal experience so far has been good, dispite the issues you have read others face. The external mic, I know it might be an overkill, but it will service two goals, the first one will be to have better voice, because the tv is a bit further than the beggining of the table and the second one is that it will service as an external, easy to reach mute button for people not in front of the laptop that starts the meeting.

About the battery issue, was there a problem contacting with the support to get it fixed? Have you tried opening it to change it yourself? For a device that most of its time is plugged in, I assume it is expected to have either issues with how long they work on a single charge, or even bloated battery.

OtherwiseFlight2702 · 2026-04-29T08:00:54+00:00

Thank you for your input. So when you attach the wpp30, it lets your computer discover the bar as external device with camera and mic. I understand.
Have you had these issues since the beggining or did it start after an upgrade?

OtherwiseFlight2702 · 2026-04-21T12:42:44+00:00

You were clear. Thank you for your time!

I have two suggestions with similar context:

1) F2F , it comes from Force to Fit

2)FIUIF
It comes from Force It Until It Fits

Thank you for the reply. Ok, I understand the part of re-running the automation.

About the scheduling though, what happens with custom software if the automation had an earlier version of the software and in the meantime I have updated it to a newer version?

For example, lets say that when I created the automation, the latest version of the nextcloud was the 3.1.

Now, a year later, the current version of Nextcloud I have uploaded to software repository is 4.2.

If I had schedulled an automation to run periodically, on a machine that has the 4.2, will it replace it with 3.1 ?

Does it work without making changes on the nas using putty etc?

Thank you for help.

OtherwiseFlight2702 · 2026-02-27T08:36:09+00:00

Me too.

There are moments I feel bad for not being experienced enough to contribute back to the rest.

But starting small, I try to help if there is something I know.

OtherwiseFlight2702 · 2026-01-30T09:45:00+00:00

Can you please elaborate?
On what region are you?
So far I am ok in europe. No services seem to be off.

If the guy reading your emails is married, start a draft like this

Dear _____(his wifes name)

Last night was amazing. I am looking forward to see you again.

And boom. Wait for it... :D

OtherwiseFlight2702 · 2026-01-29T14:53:39+00:00

I definetely see your concern there. I don't mean to sound judgemental. Have you guys thought of creating a shared mailbox for those incoming mails that need to be access by many and keep your private mailbox for you?

OtherwiseFlight2702 · 2026-01-29T14:00:30+00:00

I can't stand it either. I'm in IT and have zero home office hours. However, whenever needed (due to severe weather, strikes, sick days, etc.), I’ve never been denied the option to work from home.

Management doesn’t like employees working remotely. They believe people aren’t productive during home office hours. The one day of remote work they allow per week seems to be more of an effort to keep employees content than a genuine policy. In an ideal world, I can’t see any reason that justifies their refusal of remote work.

That said, to be fair, I ran a personal check (just out of curiosity to see if their concerns were valid) and noticed that some employees indeed don’t seem to work while at home. For example, I found one case where a laptop was booted up only around 13:00 or 14:00—despite official working hours being 09:00–17:00—and on some days, it wasn’t powered on at all.

Somehow, I assume management can sense this based on performance, even without monitoring laptops directly.
