Teams room management from the Teams admin center

There is not much information in the roadmap item: 64022, but a message related to this item was published in the admin center a few weeks ago. 

It will not be long until we will be able to see the registered Teams rooms under the "device" section in the Teams Admin Panel.

Here are some of the highlighted tasks we can be looking forward to

  • Restarting devices
  • Device health monitoring of the room system and peripherals
  • Device usage and call quality
According to the message center, this should be rolling out in the second half of June. And all you have to do is make sure the devices are up to date in order to have them listed.
