The thing I like most about this Camera is the design. It is compact and nice looking while taking up a minimal amount of space on your monitor. I like the mounting system and how it is built-in to the camera body itself. This gives it a low profile look that makes it seem a part of your monitor rather than a bulky separate piece of gear. 4 stars.

I have only been playing with it for a day but so far, I am very happy with it. Installation was easy, picture quality very good over Teams. Surprisingly good sound pickup in a 12' x 20' conference room.

This webcam is better than the one installed on my laptop. The pictures and video are crisp.

Yealink UVC34 soundbar style camera
We got the Yealink UVC34 soundbar style camera for use in a small meeting room with a PC and 4K TV. We chose this brand and model due to features and cost with basically no reviews so here are some initial impressions. The setup and testing only took a few minutes, simply plug in the power adapter and usb cable and a Windows 10 PC recognizes it as a camera and mic. Both cables were long enough to allow the camera to be placed in various positions but a shorter USB cable can be used. The USB connect software was easy to find on the Yealink website and installed with no issue. We checked for updates but there were none available. We chose to leave the other settings at default.
We tested in google meet, zoom, and the Windows camera app and everything worked fine. The camera AI adjusted based on people in the room and movement and cropped and zoomed accordingly. This seems to work as well as other cameras we have tried with similar features. The mics picked up well with no complaints from other meeting participants anywhere from 2-12 feet away. The sound is loud enough and clear at below half volume for a small meeting room with multiple people speaking.
Overall we are giving it 4 stars for several reasons. There appear to be several features (such as microphone port) that are not active yet. The mounting hardware could also be better. There is a single point on the bottom to screw it down and nothing on the back. We are also concerned with longevity as this is an unknown brand for us.
For a Microsoft Teams camera, this works well. It tracks motion and works reasonably well with backgrounds without needing a green screen. I've even used it with animated GIFs and people are usually surprised. It is larger than other webcams but has a good mount. The cover is also good and easy to use. One negative is the cost. It is quite a bit higher than other units.

Very nice
I like this thing. For the past year or so I’ve mostly been using a Jabra Panacast with a 180 degree field of view as my main webcam, but since I moved it to work I needed a new one for my home, and I chose the Yealink because of its very respectable 120 degree field of view.
My Jabra camera achieves its super wide field of view by knitting together images from three cameras working simultaneously. Obviously that’s not a cheap way to do it – my Panacast retailed at $600. The Yealink cam achieves a field of view very nearly as wide with just one camera, and at $200 it’s obviously much more affordable.
The image is nice and sharp, though I do have a word of warning. When you hear 4K you think you’re going to get a crystal clear image all the time, but you should bear in mind that a 4K camera with a very wide field of view is, in effect, spreading that resolution across a larger area. If I understand it correctly a 4K camera with a 90 degree field of view would have higher resolution that a 4K camera with a 180 degree field. Just bear that in mind to avoid disappointment.
All in all this is a very impressive product. You need to download the Yealink software to get the best out of it, though.
Windows Hello
This Yealink UVC30 Teams Certified Webcam 4k Web Camera 120 Degree View Desktop Webcam is a very versatile and useful web cam that actually works with Windows Hello sign in.
My first impression of this webcam was of how small it is, but it has a good heft to it which gives off a feel of quality components. By far my favorite feature of this webcam is the ability to use Windows Hello sign in, I’ve used it for years on my laptop but never owned a compatible webcam that could use it on my desktop, until now.
Another feature I really like about this camera is the ability to change the resolution and fps which really gives this a versatility that most webcams can’t offer.
Installation was simple on windows just plug and play and the drivers are automatically installed, then I had to go to Windows settings and set up Windows Hello, which took a few minutes but works perfectly.
My main use for this camera other than Windows Hello is for Windows Team video conferencing which it works flawlessly with. I’ve also used this camera in Zoom meetings and also on Skype, and haven’t had any issues.
Overall, this is a great value webcam that is extremely versatile and is compatible with all the major software and formats around. 5/5 stars.
This Yealink UVC30 teams certified 4K webcam has been working great for my son who has now started a streaming channel on you tube. He has always been a gamer but now thinks he's going to be famous. LOL It has been interesting to see if learn to make and start this channel and interact with other people. He enjoys it and is happy. For a teen that's all I can hope for right now. It was easy to install himself on his computer and has a very clear picture. It connects by USB. It's a little on the pricey side, but I have learned that cheap in the computer world is not good for most stuff. Love the product and it's making memories.

Best camera i've owned
The camera quality on this UVC30 is just second to none.
I was looking for something to better represent myself while working from home and this camera really nailed it. The super wide angle can be zoomed in as necessary, but the camera quality looks like something you would see on TV for a reality TV interview.
100% plug and play with no special software needed, windows and microsoft teams picks it up without any problems
Nice webcam but overpriced for what you get.
I ordered the “Yealink UVC30 Teams Certified Webcam 4k Web Camera 120 Degree View Desktop Webcam with Microphone 1080P HD Video Streaming Webcam with Windows Hello for Gaming and Recording (USB-A&C)” for review and would like to share my thoughts.
I was in need of a new Webcam and thought that the Yealink UVC30 camera would be the perfect replacement. It has been a good replacement for my 10 year old webcam however I would not say a perfect replacement. The build quality is good as is the quality of video and sound however for the price, I think there are better options on the market. My biggest disappointment was that there was no camera software included. I realize that it is totally plug and play and the fact that it works straight out of the box for Teams is great but I was hoping for some fun bells and whistles as far as software goes. Unfortunately there was no software included. I am not even sure if there is a way to upgrade the firmware for that matter. With that out of the way, the camera is good and the build quality is also good. It mounts fine to my Asus 27″ monitor with no issues. I do like that it comes with a lens cover which just slides over the front of the lens. It’s nice and compact and not distracting. Overall I do think it is a good camera but I just feel that it is a bit overpriced for what it is.
An excellent webcam ! 10/10 from me!
Before I get to the detailed review, I would like to say this first. Currently (at the time of this review), a $41 off coupon is being offered, and if you are looking for a new webcam, grab this one right now!
Okay now that’s out of the way, let’s get to the review.
First of all, I have been enjoying the Yealink webcam on my lenovo with both windows 10 and windows 11 without any issue for the last 3 weeks. The best of several webcams I have been trying out since I began working at home due to covid.
Now, I really like the design of this cute looking, small sized webcam ( although I would say this is much more than just a webcam). I think the design is also an important part to be honest ( it is at least for me).
This one is also quite easy to use. For example, you can plug and play to use this webcam for online meetings. Of course, you can also use advanced settings per your needs.
This webcam gives you a wide field of view, so this can probably be used to show the entire group of people sitting in the conference room. And of course, you can adjust the setting to show a narrow field of view as well. In addition, the auto tracking feature also works smoothly; it would adjust the focus on me if I move around a bit in the room as long as I stay in the view.
In a factory setting, I think this Yealink UVC30 webcam is just perfect to be used for working from home, like a business meeting.
Overall, I think this one is one of the better webcams on the market! Again, take advantage of the coupon if you can!
Excellent picture, intuitive and powerful software, less than stellar audio
The picture quality from this camera is excellent. It adjusts for available light. It finds faces and tracks them efficiently. There are several settings for framing, including a tight close up, a middle range, and a wide angle setting. All three work well for different settings. The color and focus are good.
The audio isn’t up to the same standard. The microphone tends to record at very low level, and there is no way to boost the gain, short of editing my video and doubling the audio tracks in a DAW – which is fine if I’m recording and editing video, but doesn’t work if I’m making a call or running a meeting! It would be nice to have a gain adjustment feature either on the camera body or in the Yealink application. With other cameras I’m able to bypass the onboard mic and use my Focusrite Scarlet interface for high fidelity audio, but when I do that with this camera all I get is static and distorted noise. Better audio handling would make this a five star camera!
Pros: superior video quality, excellent and easy to use software with a wide variety of settings for wide angle or closer focus, precise control of color, brightness, clarity and texture.
Cons: weak audio, no capability to use another source for improved sound.
4k Webcam with IR support for Windows Hello
With my new Windows 11 system, I was looking for a new webcam that would support Windows Hello for biometric login. What I found in my research is that most of the webcams that have the IR function required to enable Windows Hello generally supports a lower level of video resolution, or they cost a fortune. When this camera became available for review, I jumped at the opportunity as it appeared to have all of the bells and whistles I was looking for.
The package included the webcam, a privacy screen, a USB-C to USB-A adapter, and a soft bag to contain the cam when not in use. None of the accessories are applicable to my installation but are a nice touch. I was impressed by the overall construction of the cam: the body is aluminum, and it has a nice, long cable that’s thicker and most. Installation involved plugging in the camera… it connected immediately in Windows 11 Pro. The camera is designed to clip to the top of a monitor, and also supports a 1/4″ screw for attachment to a tripod.
After setting a few simple options in my security settings, I was able to enable Windows Hello on my system. What this windows application does is make multiple dimensional scans of your face to use as an alternative to a password or PIN for login. At present this only supplants the login to Windows, but the clamor to Microsoft has been to extend this capability to other apps, much the way the iPhone enables facial recognition as a means to secure other apps. After setup it has worked perfectly.
The bonus to me is the overall quality of the webcam imaging. It captures a 4K image that is crisp and clear, and it works well with Microsoft Teams and Zoom for conferencing (the two tools I use daily.)
I did have one concern with the camera: when the system is on, whether the cam is in use or not, the barrel/body of the camera becomes quite warm. I reached out to Yealink, the manufacturer/seller to question this. The development team stated that this is actually normal for this camera and shouldn’t be a cause for concern.
Bottom line: I’m loving this camera: it fulfills me need for biometric imaging for Windows login, and it captures a sharp, high-quality image as a camera. It was somewhat pricey but offers the best in both resolution and IR imaging. This is considered a business-class device. As another reviewer mentioned, a control software package called “Yealink USB Connect” is available for free that enables firmware updates to the camera and also enables intricate adjustments to the camera… it’s definitely a plus.
I would definitely order this camera again, and based upon my experiences so far, I have no problems recommending it for purchase.

High-quality wide angle webcam, can be customized with app.
With the default FOV of 120 degrees, at a distance of 20 inches an area that’s 32″ wide can be seen. That makes this ideal for monitoring CNC machines and LASER cutters remotely, as well as a webcam or office cam. Mounting options include a built-in clamp/brace plus a 1/4-20 threaded hole in the base so it can be mounted to a bracket or tripod.
With the software, several settings can be changed. FOV, framing, exposure and more. But you don’t need the software – if you want wide angle and full auto, nothing needs to be changed – then it’s just plug and play. Plus it works with any software that works with windows. I’ve used it with 3rd party conferencing software, Skype and others.
There’s a light on the front so you know when it’s active, an included cover, long USB cable and decent internal mic.
Great "Windows Hello" camera, plus a terrific webcam.
Have longed acquiring this camera for its Windows Hello and facial recognition abilities. It is worth the cost for its quality and security features.
While my main feature was for Windows security, logging in quicker than using other methods, have also found that this is the first camera that actually sees me without the grainy picture quality.
Where I live there is a lot of wood paneling, thus is a darker setting. Still the Yealink UVC30 gave a far better picture. Yealink’s downloadable software has many settings that can accommodate almost any ambient settings you may have.
For me I did have a time setting up the microphone in Windows 10. The internet security program that protects webcam & microphone use also had to be adjusted. Ended up having some ‘feedback’ during configuration when connected directly to a Lenovo Legion (Y25-25) gaming monitor. Maximum gain I could set the microphone’s level was 28.
When using the microphone you may need to right-click the Volume in the System Tray and open Volume Mixer to either mute/unmute the microphone, depending upon your system’s setup.
Kudos to Vine member Jeffers for pointing out where to obtain Yealink USB Connect. A simple online search led me to the Yealink website, and there were three selections to choose. USB Connect was at the bottom, and sure enough it works!
Yealink’s software allows you to check for updates, change many settings, give feedback, and more in a user friendly interface. I would suggest in Device Settings to choose 120 + Auto-Framing. This will automatically zoom to your face & frame. (90 and 70 do not have the auto-framing feature.)
As for the app’s Camera Pan, be patient, it does indeed move. Takes about 3 seconds.
You will need a camera app to take photos and videos. Windows 10 does have a Camera app that you can use. It stores what you record to Pictures -> Camera Roll.
The camera gets plugged into a USB 3.0 port, and stays warm even when not in use. I hope this will not affect its longevity, Only time will tell.
The imaging sensor is fantastic! Never before have I had a webcam that actually looked great right out of the box. Could read labels on boxes behind me, and even book titles. Yealink’s camera also saw the color variations in my eyes. Phenomenal picture quality!
I would suggest getting this Yealink UVC30 camera instead of wasting money on other cheaper cameras. If I had known that this camera was this good, would of had one sooner.
Photos I have attached show the Yealink UVC30 on top of a Lenovo Y25-25 Legion monitor that I acquired from Amazon last year. The Windows Hello feature works wonderfully well, and loads fairly quickly.
I am impressed.
I keep trying the latest and greatest webcams, looking for something I’ll like more than my current favorite, the Razer Kiyo Pro.
This camera attracted me because it’s from an established brand, offers 4K resolution, and integrates auto-framing.
In the package (brown box), you get the webcam (with integrated USB cable–not detachable), a soft-sided carry bag, a USB-A to USB-C adapter, and an optional lens cover.
Installation is trivial: Plug the camera into an open USB slot on your computer. The camera is cleverly made so it has an integrated mount that can either be placed on top of a monitor or on a camera tripod. I was surprised at how light the camera is. That is helpful in terms of placing the camera on top of an open laptop (where the lid can waver under the weight of a heavier camera).
To adjust the settings of the camera, you’ll want to download and install the Yealink USB Connect app. This app gives you access to standard adjustments like exposure, dynamic range, saturation, white balance, etc. The app also gives you access to the framing settings. By default, the camera gives you a full field of view, which is 120 degrees. That’s fine for a conference room, but entirely too wide for, say just sitting in front of your monitor. You can adjust the framing in the app. There are three field of view presets (120/90/70 degrees), and also an “Auto-framing” mode. Auto-framing is ONLY available in the 120-degree mode. If chosen, it will digitally pan/tilt/zoom to place you in the center of the picture. I was extremely impressed at how well it did this, and how quickly it was able to reframe me when I moved in/out of the field of vision. Unfortunately, in the auto-framing mode, you have no control over the tightness of the framing. You get a pre-programmed view, which, in my opinion, is larger than is ideal for a one-person image. Still, for a multi-person room, the auto-framing is great.
In 120 degree mode, you can also digitall zoom/pan/scan to create the closeup you want. However, you can’t auto-frame in this mode.
Unfortunately, the camera does not optically zoom. So any zoom you do comes with a reduction in actual pixels. And the default view is very wide and tall. So the pixel resolution on an individual face is not appreciably better than you’d get with a more narrow field of vision 1080p camera. To demonstrate this, I’ve attached a comparison view of the picture with this camera and with the popular Logitech C922 1080p camera. You’ll note that the two images (shown side by side) are close to identical in quality.
I’ve also compared the images from this Yealink camera and from my favorite, the Razer Kiyo Pro. There, you can see that the Kiyo Pro provides far better clarity–driving home the point it’s not just about pixels, but also sensor quality and processing.
On the whole, I think this is a terrific 4K webcam if you are using it for a multi-person environment that will benefit from the wide 120-degree field of vision and/or where the exemplary auto-framing function is of value. (E.g. if you will be moving around in front of the camera). If you are simply looking for a very high-quality webcam to stream your picture, then at the same price point, the Razer Kiyo Pro is a better choice. The quality of this webcam for that purpose is about equivalent to a Logitech C920/C922/etc. webcam. And that’s not bad–just not the best you can do at this price.
works well
Installed without issue and works fine for basic work conference calls.
I had not heard of the yealink brand until recently. This is my second product from them and I have been pleasantly surprised with both. They are making higher quality products than most out there.
Expensive! But the Highest Quality Webcam I Have Ever Used
This is such a weird product to review, as it’s a high-quality webcam, but one that’s in an awkward price range. Let me explain.
Even as far back as 2012/2013, I remember buying the Logitech C920 during Black Friday for $50. I think the regular price was around $80-100. Back then, that was THE webcam to get. Even almost ten years later, it remains a popular webcam, only replaced by the very similar C923. Since that webcam was so dominant, there was never really any other company trying to compete with it, so the whole industry has been in a bit of a lull.
On the other end of the spectrum, you have the professional caliber webcams, with the whole motorized base that can rotate and flip and comes with a remote and all the bells and whistles. However, these webcams typically cost north of $300, and many times go beyond $500, and are way past the budget of the everyday consumer.
So that brings us to this webcam, whose price is right in between at around $170-$200. So here is a webcam that’s higher quality than basic webcams, but not as professional caliber as those for companies. This is a 4K webcam with high resolution, and also a big sensor to collect more light. Images and videos appear clear, bright, saturated, and overall very high quality. The wide field of view is also great for when you want many people in the video chat, or show the other side where you are at or what you are doing. Lighting is one of the paramount qualities in imaging, and this webcam totally succeeds. The sensor is made by Sony, who makes pretty much all of the premium cameras in the flagship smartphones that you are using nowadays.
The price point is a weird spot to be in, as for the everyday consumer, they might browse around and find the Logitech, or even some generic knockoff, and just buy that one without even giving this a chance just glancing at its price. Therefore, it appeals mostly to people who actually search for it (“4K webcam”). So if you are one of those people who loves high-tech gadgets like me, then I fully recommend this webcam to you – you will not be disappointed by its quality. However, for the rest – do you really NEED a 4K webcam? No, you do not, and this webcam will not be for you.
BTW – I just realized something. They should also make another version that works as a webcam, but also add the feature for it to record videos separately/independently, like a GoPro, so it can double its functions and therefore would make it a much more versatile and desirable camera.
Premium webcam that has some nice features and excellent image quality
Very user friendly webcam with excellent image quality and features. I plugged this into my main windows laptop and it downloaded the drivers needed and then notified me that it was ready to use. Knowing that this camera is capable of Windows Hello face authentication (unlocking the computer by simply facing the camera), is the thing that made me decide to review it. I have used a number of Microsoft Surface devices that have this feature and it’s absolutely wonderful, I have no idea why Apple can’t bring this feature to the Mac but it is a shame. Having an Apple Watch and a Mac computer is basically just as good, but still not the same thing, at all.
Registering my face and setting up Windows Hello was easy, I was sure that something would bug out and I would need a reboot to get it working, but it worked on the first try without needing a restart. I was also happy to see that unplugging the webcam after setup and then plugging it back in did not invalidate the option to use face unlock. So you can freely unplug it knowing that it will all still work when you plug it back in. The IR sensor embedded in the camera is what allows it to be Windows Hello certified, you can’t do this with just any old webcam.
It worked equally well on Mac OS, which recognized the device immediately. I did a FaceTime call to test out the camera, for some reason, it seems like Mac OS will crop the field of view when using FaceTime but this might be changeable in the settings. I personally think that this is more compelling to use with Windows than with Mac OS, but at least we know that it works well with both.
The thing that surprised me the most about this webcam is just how wide of a perspective you get, I knew it was an ultra wide angle camera, but it still impressed me how much of the room was able to be inside the frame. You can adjust the field of view to three different options- 70 degrees, 90 degrees, and the full 120 degrees. And it looks amazing too! The quality of the image is way above and beyond anything you are likely to come across on a laptop, because the hardware is so constrained by the thinness of the lid. This webcam has plenty of room to fit an 8 megapixel sensor inside, 1/2.5″ is the physical size of the CMOS sensor. There is also a pretty substantial looking lens, which also goes a long way in giving you a better quality picture.
Inside the box, they include a lot of little extras. You get a durable, metal USB A to USB C adapter for newer laptops that don’t have USB A, you also get a nice little carrying pouch for taking the camera with you in your laptop bag or just for storing more securely. And then there is a privacy shutter that you can semi-permanently install on the front of the webcam, it has adhesive strips so it will stay in place. There is also the usual QuickStart guide included in the box, but it’s really not needed because of how easy this device is to setup and use.
This product is a valid alternative to other premium products like the Logitech Brio and the Razer Kiyo Pro. In some ways, this is more targeted at business use because it does have Microsoft Teams, Skype for Business, and Zoom certification (on top of the Window Hello certification). I am loving this product and can’t wait until my next video call to be able to use it again and show off the quality of my video.
I had another camera and had constant high CPU and Memory use when using Teams. I found this via Microsoft Support, it was on the list of tested cameras for Teams. I purchased it with low expectations, but have been happily surprised. CPU is down to 30% or so, and Memory is about 650MB. Definitely worth the price because I can now actually do work while on Teams meetings.

it is a 4k camera and the picture quality is good, but keep in mind, it won't do 1080 at 60 fps (or at least i can't seem to get it to do that), and despite the 4k resolution, the quality of the image has a lot to do with the size of the image sensor and light available. So don't think a 4k camera is inherently better than a camera with a lower resolution with a better size CMOS sensor.

My husband and I are on Zoom at least three times every week. I have owned several cameras and this camera is perfect for our situation. The field of view is perfect for us. It captures just me and another person if desired. Unlike others that captured the entire room. It has an auto focus feature that produces a high quality picture with excellent color. The lens moves up and down and side to side so you can center yourself in the picture. The way it mounts on the monitor is also great. It truly is plug and play. It works as soon as it is plugged it in. Another nice feature is the sliding privacy lens. Make sure the privacy lens is open after you plug it in or you will just see a black screen (a time wasting mistake that I made). Unlike my prior cameras it also has great sound. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this camera and now can stop searching for the perfect camera for me.
Awesome webcam! Tried 6 different cameras before i bought this one...better then most webcam out there
Awesome webcam! Tried 6 different cameras before i bought this one…better then most webcam out there
At the current price ($85) this web camera is on the pricier end of the scale for its class. It does come with some rather nice features, like the built -in lens cover for privacy and its omni-directional microphone. Of course if you are using a headset for you meetings, that may not be so useful, but if not, it is likely a much better microphone than is available out of the box on your machine. The digital zoom is a nice feature, as is the width of the camera lens capture area. Being able to turn the camera itself on its bracket is a nice feature meaning you are not limited to a static facing of the camera. Additionally, the ability to use the bracket in different configurations so that you do not have to hang it off the top of a monitor is a useful thing as well. The pickup is good in low light as well as bright light from what I have seen thus far. Overall, I am extremely happy with this and am glad I got it.
