Note

The following two features were added to the 5.2.115.0 release with a service side change on October 31, 2024.

  • Digital signage : Inform, connect, and engage your employees with digital signage. Users can view dynamic content and relevant information on front-of-room displays when devices aren't in use. Admins can configure tenant-wide and room-specific settings from the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal. Native integrations with selected third-party digital signage providers (Appspace, XOGO) are available, along with the use of web URLs as signage sources. Learn more.

  • Enhanced cross-platform meetings using SIP join : Collaboration is seamless and intuitive across all meeting platforms, providing a native Teams Room experience when joining SIP-based conferencing services like Google Meet, Zoom, Cisco Webex, Amazon Chime, RingCentral, and others. Users enjoy the familiar Teams Rooms interface with access to certain third-party in-meeting controls, depending on the platform. Features include up to 1080p video quality, dual screen support, various meeting layouts, and HDMI ingest. This capability requires a SIP calling plan from a Cloud Video Interop (CVI) partner, currently available through Pexip. Learn more.

When one person is in the room, the tile matches the remote participant's size. With two or more people, the room tile expands to be four times larger. Room admins can enable or disable the people count. Learn more.

  • Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows room preview shows Cloud IntelliFrame : The Preview video of room shows IntelliFrame when Cloud IntelliFrame is enabled for the room, to let in room participants be aware of how they appear to those online. Learn more.

With the new Teams app now a part of Teams Rooms on Windows, all Teams Rooms devices can now utilize available resources to optimize room experience and rendering intelligent audio and video more reliably. The New Teams app has parity of experiences, and in addition all new Teams rooms experiences are built on new Teams app.

  • Meeting Chat shown by default in Gallery View for Teams Rooms on Windows. Meeting Chat is now shown by default when joining a Teams meeting with Teams Rooms on Windows in Gallery View, making it easier to see incoming chat messages on the front of room display. Admins can configure the default chat experience for a room, and users can make in-meeting changes to show or hide the chat using the touch console.

  • Join meetings with a QR code. Users can quickly join upcoming meetings by scanning a QR code on the Teams Room home screen using a mobile camera. Users will then enter the room companion mode experience on Teams mobile and the full meeting experience on Teams Rooms. Users can also scan the QR code to start an ad-hoc meeting or cast content from mobile to the front-of-room display. If the user doesn't have the Teams mobile app, they'll be directed to download it after scanning the QR code. Cross-tenant meetings are supported when the organization setting and user policies allow it. IT admins can control the feature from the XML settings or the Teams admin center. Learn more.

  • 4K display UI scaling for Teams Rooms on Windows. 4K-enabled displays, including front of room displays and touch boards, are natively supported on the Teams Rooms experience. Note: 4K video isn't supported.

This feature is now in public preview on Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows.

  • Integration between Report a Problem and Pro Portal Management: Admins can configure for easier tracking, via SendFeedbackToPMP XML setting, that when a user sends feedback through Report a Problem from a room with a Microsoft Teams Pro license, each feedback creates an event in the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal.

    Important

    Note that some systems maybe missing the minimum version of the Edge WebView2 runtime. Until Edge Webview2 runtimeversion 110.0.1587.63 or higher is installed, these devices will be missing some features.

The legacy home screen experience is also no longer officially supported. Learn more at End of support for connecting to Skype for Business server in Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows.
  • Touch board form factor support. Teams Rooms on Windows now support certified Touch board form factors like Surface Hub 3. Touch boards run Teams rooms touch experience on single screen.  Portrait mode/Rotation on Surface Hub 3 is in preview with more optimizations to follow.
  • One time passcode (OTP) based setup . One-time passcode (OTP) provides a new and simplified way to set up Teams Room on Windows. During the first-time setup experience, the installer is presented with an option to enter a One-time passcode instead of resource account credentials, eliminating the need to share room account passwords. OTP is then used to automatically fetch the resource account credentials and sign into Teams Rooms. Teams room admins can provision the OTP from the Teams Rooms Pro Management Portal.
  • Front Row Enhancement - Active video speaker promotion. Front Row now promotes pinned or spotlighted participants to the center stage when there's no shared content in the single and dual display mode to make the most of empty space. For single display mode, when no one is pinned, spotlighted, or sharing content, the most recent active speaker video is promoted to the center. In dual display mode, when no one is pinned, spotlighted, or sharing content, the two most recent active speaker videos are promoted to the center on each screen. If someone is sharing content, the most recent active video speaker is promoted on the right screen.
  • Support Joining a Teams Live Event as an Attendee. To join a live event as an attendee and watch the streaming experience, follow the instructions on Attend a live event in Microsoft Teams.
  • Teams Room on Windows content camera enhancements. Teams rooms on Windows support content cameras that are certified by Microsoft to share analog Whiteboard in rooms. Customers now have the choice to connect any Teams certified or any other camera as a content camera on Teams Rooms on Windows to allow ease of use.

Note

Microsoft cannot guarantee that cloud enhancement filters work consistently on content camera not certified by Microsoft, so customers must validate the experience before rolling it out.

4.18.44.0 (9/20/2023)

  • This update resolves a problem that prevents the room display resolution and scaling setting (configured using XML) from working on version 4.18.35.0 when sometimes Windows resets it to the default display settings.

4.18.35.0 (8/21/2023)

Introduced in this update:

  • Cloud IntelliFrame . Cloud IntelliFrame makes non-AI cameras smarter. With Cloud IntelliFrame, participants in the room appear similar to remote attendees, creating an immersive and engaging experience for everyone. Whether working from home or in the office, participants are able to see every facial expression and cue, as if they were there in person.
  • Intelligent camera support . IntelliFrame enables multi-stream video, face recognition of in-room participants, active speaker recognition, attributed voice-based transcription, and panoramic video on front-of-room (180-degree view) and center-of-room (360-degree view) cameras, taking Teams Rooms on Windows cameras to the next level of intelligence.
  • Front Row gallery improvement – video segmentation with a unified background1 . It removes individual backgrounds, adjusts video participant’s size, and applies a unified background for remote participants to make them appear as if they are in the same room. This reduces distractions and provides in-room meeting participants with better connection to remote participants in Teams meetings.
  • Spatial audio in the Front Row experience2 . Spatial Audio brings next-generation audio to the Front Row experience when connected to stereo speakers. This intelligent audio technology delivers a more natural and inclusive experience for in-room participants by playing audio from channel closer to physical location of remote participants on Front row layout, making it feel like remote people are in the room with them and reducing meeting fatigue.

1 The feature is turned on by default. To disable the feature, use the following XML. Learn more at Manage a Microsoft Teams Rooms console settings remotely with an XML configuration file. <IsFrontRowUnifiedBackgroundEnabled>false</IsFrontRowUnifiedBackgroundEnabled>
