Microsoft Teams: Front-of-room view control for Webinars and structured meetings in Teams Rooms on Android

Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android will default front-of-room displays to attendee view during webinars and structured meetings starting June 2026. Presenters keep full control via the console, while in-room participants see a clearer view. The feature requires a Teams Rooms Pro license and is enabled by default with no impact on remote attendees. Introduction We’re introducing an update to how front-of-room (FoR) displays behave in Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android during webinars and structured meetings. This change ensures that when a Teams Room joins as a presenter, the in-room display defaults to the attendee view—creating a clearer and more professional experience for in-room participants, especially in hybrid scenarios where presenters and attendees are co-located. This message is associated with Roadmap ID 559602. When this will happen: General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in early June 2026 and expect to complete by late June 2026. General Availability (GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out in mid-June 2026 and expect to complete by late June 2026. How this affects your organization: Who is affected: Organizations using Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android Meeting organizers and presenters running webinars or structured meetings In-room participants viewing front-of-room displays A Teams Rooms Pro license is needed to use this feature What will happen: The front-of-room display will default to attendee view when joining webinars or structured meetings. In-room audiences will not see presenter tools such as Green Room or backstage controls. Presenters will retain full control from the Teams Rooms console, including: Managing Green Room and off-stage participants. Switching display modes (e.g., to presenter view when needed). The feature is enabled by default and requires no configuration. There is no impact to remote attendees or their experience. Existing Teams Rooms functionality and policies remain unchanged.
