Originally posted by Microsoft Apr 29, 2026 Uncategorized 0 Comments

Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android will support joining third-party meetings via Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) starting early June 2026. This feature, off by default, requires Teams Rooms Pro licensing and enables seamless cross-platform meeting access from Android devices. Organizations should prepare by testing, training, and updating documentation.

Introduction

Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android will soon be able to join third-party meetings using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). This capability enables seamless cross-platform interoperability, allowing users to connect to external meeting services directly from Teams Rooms on Android devices while maintaining a consistent and reliable meeting experience across diverse meeting platforms.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 558539.

When this will happen:

• General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in early June 2026 and expect to complete by early June 2026.

How this affects your organization:

Who is affected:

• Organizations with Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android devices
• Organizations that host or join third-party meetings from shared meeting spaces
• Admins managing Teams Rooms on Android devices licensed with Teams Rooms Pro

What will happen:

• Users will be able to join supported third-party meetings (for example, Zoom or Webex) directly from Teams Rooms on Android devices when the meeting invitation includes a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) video meeting address.
• This feature is off by default. Availability of this capability depends on Teams Rooms Pro licensing and appropriate device configuration. 

What you can do to prepare:

Compliance considerations:

No compliance considerations identified, review as appropriate for your organization.

• Test the feature with your lower-ring Teams Rooms on Android devices.
• Prepare educational material for users in advance of release.
• Identify users who frequently collaborate with external organizations using third-party meeting platforms and communicate upcoming capabilities.
• Ensure that all Teams Rooms on Android devices that require this functionality are licensed with Teams Rooms Pro.
