Teams Rooms Roadmap
Microsoft keeps pushing additional updates to enhance the meeting experience with Native Teams Rooms. We recently got walk up and whiteboard on Teams Rooms, which means that if you have a touchscreen in the meeting room you will now be able to start ad hoc whiteboards when not in a call and when in a call. There is now also support for both Front of Room touchscreen and touch console
This is a great feature that will add a whole new experience to the meeting rooms. I might be a bit affected since I have been working with Surface Hub even since the launch of Hub v1, I could not imagine working without Microsoft Whiteboard. Now adding this great feature to Teams Rooms will open for a much better collaboration, not only between Teams Rooms, but also Surface Hub and those who work from home on a laptop. Touch on the laptop will give the best experience, but it is possible to use the mouse and keyboard.
New features coming soon to Teams Rooms
Android:
Front Row
This have already been available on Windows for a while, and it will be great to have it on Android as well.
GA: March 2023
Meeting Join
Users will have a similar experience as on Windows where the meeting will start and then afterwards invite people to the call. Where today you will need to add at least one participant before it will do a call. You will also get the option of joining a Teams meeting with Meeting ID and passcode.

Audio on HDMI ingest
Yes, this is one of the most requested features from organisations. HDMI does normally carry audio. But have not been available on Teams Rooms on Android, so it is a great pleasure to finally see this coming. IT Admins will also be able to control HDMI content auto share. Microsoft is also adding a cool feature where it will be possible to annotate on shared content.
GA: March 2023
This will help with a simpler setup in meeting rooms without workarounds
Windows:
New User Interface
Teams Rooms on Windows will get an updated look and feel, so it will look a lot more like Android. You will get your meetings up on the Front of Room screen as well as on the Touch console. It will also add new backgrounds to Windows like we know them from Android.
GA: February 2023
Layout View switcher improvements
You will now be able to turn on/off meeting chat or what to see on left and right side when using Front Row Layout. So, this is adding Loop components to the Teams Rooms. IT Admins can configure default layout.
GA: February 2023

1 年Thanks for sharing this great summary! Bringing Whiteboard natively into the MTR is #1! Room scale productivity of MSFT 365 tools was already great with large format interactive displays. Now with MSFT Whiteboard availability, every Teams room should be interactive. #collaboration #interactivity

1 年Great post Lars. I can’t say what I’m most happy about if you asked me 6 months ago it would be audio on HDMI. But today I think it would be the look and feel of the MTRoW as it gets the same look as MTRoA which makes the user more safe in using the systems ??
