Zoom Rooms Dubai
Every Room Size, One Supplier
Your team is already on Zoom. Now make the meeting room as reliable as the software. Zoom Rooms hardware joins any meeting with one tap — no laptop, no cables, no "can you share screen." We supply, configure and install certified hardware for huddle rooms, meeting rooms and boardrooms across Dubai and UAE.
What Is Zoom Rooms — and Why Is It Different From Regular Zoom?
Your team already uses Zoom. Laptops join calls, screens get shared, meetings happen. Zoom Rooms is not a new platform — it is the same Zoom, permanently installed in the meeting room itself. A certified video bar, microphone array and touch controller sit mounted in the room and join any Zoom meeting with a single tap on the panel. No laptop needs to connect. No HDMI cable fumbling. No "who's sharing the screen."
The difference matters most when half the room is remote and half is physically present. Without a proper room system, remote participants see a ceiling-facing laptop camera and hear the room echo. With Zoom Rooms, an auto-framing wide-angle camera tracks faces, beamforming microphones isolate voices from keyboard noise and air conditioning, and everyone appears equally on screen whether they are in the room or joining from Singapore.
Zoom Rooms also activates features not available in standard Zoom: intelligent director camera framing, room occupancy detection, digital signage on the display when the room is not in use, workspace reservation from the touch panel or Zoom app, and centralised management of every room in your estate from one admin console.
Discuss Your RoomsZoom works in the UAE — Zoom is fully accessible in the UAE for business video conferencing without VPN. Unlike consumer VoIP applications, Zoom operates as a licensed business conferencing platform with no TRA restrictions. Zoom Rooms hardware in Dubai offices connects normally on Etisalat and du business internet.
Licence note: Each Zoom Rooms device requires one Zoom Rooms licence at USD 49 per room per month (approximately AED 180/month), billed directly by Zoom. This is separate from individual staff Zoom licences. VDS configures and activates the licence during installation.
Already have Zoom licences for staff? Zoom Rooms works with your existing Zoom account. No new platform, no migration, no retraining. One additional licence per room is all that is needed to activate the hardware.
Zoom Rooms or Microsoft Teams Rooms — Which Is Right for Your Dubai Office?
Both platforms use the same certified hardware brands. The decision is not about hardware — it is about which collaboration platform your team actually uses every day.
Your Team Runs on Zoom
- Daily meetings happen inside Zoom Workplace
- Your company uses Google Workspace (Gmail, Drive) rather than Microsoft 365
- Clients and partners you meet with primarily use Zoom
- You run webinars, training sessions or large internal events via Zoom Webinars
- You want a simpler platform without Teams' full collaboration suite
- Your IT team manages Zoom Phone for your business calling
Your Team Runs on Microsoft 365
- Daily meetings happen inside Microsoft Teams
- Staff use Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive as core work tools
- You want desk phones integrated with Teams calling via Direct Routing
- Your organisation is Microsoft-licensed at an enterprise level
- You need deep integration with Intune device management
- Your PABX is being replaced or upgraded to Teams-based telephony

Zoom Rooms by Room Size — AED Hardware Guide
Hardware choice is driven by room dimensions, not by brand preference. These are the standard configurations we deploy across Dubai offices and free zones.
Small Room
An all-in-one video bar handles everything — camera, microphone and speaker in one wall-mounted or display-mounted unit. No separate PC required. Zoom Rooms app runs natively on the device's Android compute. Ideal for quick-connect rooms, focus rooms and informal meeting spaces throughout the office.
Medium Room
A higher-spec video bar with wider field of view, stronger microphone pickup for the full table length, and a larger touch panel for room booking and meeting controls. These rooms are the backbone of most Dubai office deployments — typical DIFC and Business Bay meeting rooms seat 8 to 10 people and need a mid-range system.
Large Room
Large boardrooms need separate PTZ camera, ceiling or tabletop microphone arrays covering a long conference table, and a Windows-based compute unit for dual-display support. The Neat Bar Pro suits large rooms with its dual-camera system. The Aver VB360 handles round-table boardrooms with 360° omnidirectional coverage. The Logitech Rally Bar and HP Poly G7500 are proven solutions for traditional long-table boardrooms.
All prices are hardware guide ranges for Dubai. Zoom Rooms software licence (AED ~180/room/month) is additional and billed directly by Zoom. Fixed AED quote per room after free site assessment.
Zoom Rooms Certified Hardware We Supply & Install
Five hardware brands cover every room size. All are Zoom-certified — tested and validated by Zoom for full compatibility, AI features and security compliance. VDS stocks Aver, Neat, Yealink, Logitech and HP Poly in Dubai for same-week supply.
VB342 Pro, VB350 & VB360
VDS carries large stock of Aver video bars in Dubai — same-week availability across the range. The VB342 Pro is a compact all-in-one for huddle rooms with a 120° FOV camera and built-in Zoom Rooms compute. The VB350 suits medium meeting rooms with dual 4K cameras and AI speaker tracking. The VB360 is a 360° omnidirectional camera ideal for round table meeting rooms where participants sit all around the table — a configuration that confuses traditional fixed-direction cameras but is handled natively by the VB360.
Neat Bar, Neat Bar Pro & Neat Board
Neat was built from the ground up for Zoom Rooms — the founders came from Zoom and the hardware was designed around Zoom's software before adding Teams support. The Neat Bar suits medium meeting rooms with a wide-angle 4K camera and NeatSense ambient intelligence that adjusts audio based on room occupancy. The Neat Bar Pro is a dual-camera system for larger rooms. The Neat Board is an all-in-one interactive touchscreen with built-in camera and microphone — ideal for rooms that need whiteboarding alongside video meetings.
MeetingBar A-Series & ZVC Series
Yealink's MeetingBar A-series (A20, A30, A40, A50) are all-in-one Android compute video bars — no external PC needed. The A50 features a triple-camera system and Qualcomm 8550 processor with Android 13 for AI auto-framing and instant speaker switching. The ZVC series uses a Windows mini-PC with separate camera and audio peripherals for larger rooms requiring dual-display or PTZ camera configurations.
Rally Bar, Rally Bar Mini & MeetUp
Logitech Rally Bar runs CollabOS natively — Zoom Rooms app built into the device without an external PC. The Rally Bar uses a 4K motorised PTZ lens with true optical zoom, preferred for longer rooms where participants sit far from the camera. The Rally Bar Mini suits medium rooms, MeetUp suits compact huddle spaces. RightSense AI provides auto-framing and noise suppression.
Studio X-Series & G7500
HP Poly Studio X-series (X30, X50, X52) are Android-based all-in-one systems with NoiseBlockAI audio processing and DirectorAI camera framing. The G7500 is a Windows-based modular codec for large boardrooms — pairs with Poly EagleEye PTZ cameras and ceiling microphone arrays for full boardroom coverage with Zoom Intelligent Director features.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Zoom Rooms hardware, licensing and deployment in Dubai and the UAE.
What is Zoom Rooms and how is it different from regular Zoom meetings?
Regular Zoom runs on individual laptops and phones. Zoom Rooms is a permanent hardware installation in the meeting room — a certified camera, microphone array, speaker and touch controller that joins any Zoom meeting with one tap. No laptop needed. The room behaves as a single participant regardless of how many people are physically present.
Does Zoom work in the UAE without a VPN?
Yes. Zoom is fully accessible in the UAE for business video conferencing without any VPN. Unlike consumer VoIP applications, Zoom operates as a licensed business conferencing platform with no TRA restrictions. Zoom Rooms hardware deployed in Dubai offices connects normally on Etisalat and du business internet.
How much does Zoom Rooms cost in Dubai?
Hardware ranges from AED 2,500 for a huddle room system to AED 32,000 for a large boardroom setup. The Zoom Rooms software licence costs USD 49 per room per month (approximately AED 180/month) billed directly by Zoom. VDS provides a fixed AED quote covering hardware supply and installation after a free room assessment.
Should we choose Zoom Rooms or Microsoft Teams Rooms?
If your team uses Zoom for daily meetings — especially if you are on Google Workspace rather than Microsoft 365 — Zoom Rooms is the logical choice. If your team runs on Microsoft 365 and uses Teams for chat, files and meetings, Teams Rooms is the better fit. VDS supplies and installs both and can advise based on your current software stack.
Which Zoom Rooms hardware is best for a small meeting room in Dubai?
For rooms up to 5×4 metres with 2 to 6 people, the Aver VB342 Pro, Yealink MeetingBar A20 for Zoom, Logitech MeetUp and HP Poly Studio X30 are the standard solutions. VDS carries large Aver stock in Dubai for same-week supply. All are all-in-one video bars with compute built in — no external PC required. AED pricing from AED 2,500 to AED 5,500 including touch controller.
What Zoom licence is needed per room?
Each physical Zoom Rooms device requires one Zoom Rooms licence at USD 49 per month (approximately AED 180/month) or USD 499 per year (approximately AED 1,830/year). This is separate from individual staff Zoom Workplace licences. The room licence activates the hardware and enables AI Companion, digital signage, workspace reservation and the admin management console.
Can Zoom Rooms make and receive regular phone calls?
Yes, with Zoom Phone configured on your account. Zoom Phone is Zoom's cloud-based business calling system — a separate add-on that enables UAE business numbers to make and receive PSTN calls via Etisalat or du SIP trunks. VDS can deploy Zoom Phone alongside Zoom Rooms or help you connect to your existing PABX via SIP trunk.
How long does Zoom Rooms installation take in Dubai?
Half a day to one full day per room, including hardware mounting, Zoom resource account setup, device configuration, camera angle optimisation, testing and user handover. Hardware supply from our Dubai warehouse is typically same-week for standard models. Multi-room deployments can run parallel installs to compress the total timeline.
