How to check the version on a room
On the console:
- Tap More (the ellipsis) then Settings.
- Sign in with the admin password.
- Look under About or the device information section for the app version.
In the Teams admin center:
- Go to Teams devices > Teams Rooms on Windows or Teams Rooms on Android.
- Select the room to see software and firmware versions, health and update status.
In the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal (with a Pro license), check the room's inventory and update status. See Pro Management portal.
How updates are delivered
- Windows: the Teams Rooms app updates automatically during the nightly maintenance window, unless your organization manages updates. Windows updates follow your device management policy.
- Android: app and firmware updates are deployed from the Teams admin center. You can set automatic updates or schedule them per device.
- Staged rollouts: Microsoft releases in waves, so not every room gets a new version on the same day.
For step-by-step instructions, see how to update Teams Rooms.
Early access and preview builds
Microsoft offers preview programs for some Teams devices so admins can test new builds before broad release. Availability and how to enroll vary by platform; check Microsoft's current docs. Run previews on a test room, not your boardroom.
