Teams Meeting Rooms

What is a Teams Meeting Room?

A Teams Meeting Room is a way to manage hybrid meetings. 

Microsoft Teams Rooms for Windows brings video, audio, and content sharing to Microsoft Teams calls and meetings wherever you host them, from small huddle areas to large conference rooms.

Instructions

We have designed the rooms to be as simple as possible. Everything in the room is controlled via the Teams interface on the touch panel on the table, including the speakers and microphones in the room. The controls for Teams Rooms are very similar to those you'd have on the Teams desktop app for a meeting.

The Microsoft Teams Room support page has comprehensive instructions. We would suggest you familiarise yourself with these instructions before your meeting.
