(Updated) Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows: Native PTZ controls

Updated September 15, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. 

Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows will soon support native PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) controls for cameras capable of supporting PTZ controls. The PTZ controls will appear in the Camera settings pop-up menu when the Enhanced Framing toggle is set to off.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 409534.

[When this will happen:]

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out late September 2026 (previously mid-September) and expect to complete by early November 2026 (previously late July).

General Availability (GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out early December 2026 (previously mid-October) and expect to complete by early January 2027 (previously mid-November).

[How this will affect your organization:]

Before this rollout: Native PTZ controls are not displayed in Camera settings pop-up menus for PTZ-capable cameras.

After this rollout: Admins will be able to toggle this feature for each Teams Rooms on Windows in the device's Admin Settings for Peripherals. This setting will be on by default.

Users in a Teams Rooms on Windows with a PTZ-capable camera connected will see PTZ controls in the Camera settings pop-up menu.
