Body (from Message Center)

Updated August 5, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.

[Introduction]

We’re adding new building‑level insights to the recommended actions page in the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal. This update helps IT admins identify buildings with high Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR) utilization that still have bring-your-own-device (BYOD) rooms in them, creating an inconsistent user experience from room to room. These insights support more consistent meeting experiences across buildings and help organizations optimize room‑technology investments. Available with a Teams Rooms Pro or Shared Space license.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 553591.

[When this will happen]

General availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-June 2026 (previously early June) and expect to complete by end of August 2026 (previously end of July).
