MB-Remote

What the MB-Remote does in a MeetingBoard session

The Yealink MB-Remote is a handheld presentation controller built for Yealink MeetingBoard and MeetingBoard Pro conference terminals. Instead of returning to the touch panel or the room PC to change a slide, the presenter can page through documents, presentation files and web pages from wherever they stand. An air mouse function supports simple pointer operations, and the controls also cover everyday meeting tasks such as muting the microphone and adjusting volume.

Keys, range and connection

The remote links to a USB receiver over a 2.4 GHz wireless connection with a stated range of 10 m. The source data describes operation through 360 degrees around the receiver. The receiver is already seated in the controller, so the user only plugs it into a compatible host. No software installation is needed.

• Page up and page down keys for documents, presentation files and web pages.
• Presentation key and simulated mouse for simple presentation control.
• Microphone mute, volume plus and volume minus for quick control during calls.
• Camera control key for switching the camera on or off.

The button layout follows the natural grip, so keys can be located by touch while the presenter keeps attention on the audience. A single indicator signals low battery and pairing status.

Check compatibility before you order

Compatibility depends on both the host and its firmware. For MeetingBoard Pro, the manufacturer data lists firmware 331.320.0.55 and later. On that firmware, H.323 and SIP calls are fully supported, and so are Microsoft Teams and Zoom. In BYOD or general mode the camera control key is not supported. When used with a PC running Windows 10 and later or macOS 12 and later, the microphone mute key and the camera control keys are not supported. Because the compatibility details name MeetingBoard Pro specifically, confirm support for your standard MeetingBoard unit with the SmartRooms Qatar team before ordering.

Where it fits in Qatar

• A government authority briefing room in Doha, where a presenter advances slides and mutes the microphone during a call with an overseas office.
• A private school in Al Wakrah fitting out staff and training rooms, where teachers present from the middle of the room rather than from the lectern.
• A corporate office in West Bay running Teams or Zoom calls, where the camera key and mute key sit within reach of the presenter.

What to plan for

• Host and software: confirm the MeetingBoard firmware and the PC operating system before quoting.
• Battery: two AAA batteries are included. The manufacturer states two hours of use daily for about three months, which varies with use.
• Environment: the stated operating range is 0 to 40 degrees Celsius and 10 to 95 percent humidity. Keep the remote in air-conditioned rooms and out of parked vehicles and sunlit window ledges.
• Quantity: organisations equipping several rooms can request one quotation for all units and settle it by LPO, bank transfer or cheque.
