[Introduction]

Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android will soon be able to join third-party meetings using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). This capability enables seamless cross-platform interoperability, allowing users to connect to external meeting services directly from Teams Rooms on Android devices while maintaining a consistent and reliable meeting experience across diverse meeting platforms.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 558539.

[When this will happen:]

[How this affects your organization:]

Who is affected:

What will happen:
