Microsoft Teams: BYOD mode will activate cameras on meeting room audio devices
The Microsoft Teams BYOD mode update will automatically activate room cameras on audio devices with video components during meetings. This applies to Teams for Windows and Mac desktops, starting mid-January 2025, with full rollout by early February 2025. Organizations should inform users and review peripheral inventory.
The room audio auto-detect and pre-select feature for Microsoft Teams BYOD rooms (released October 2024) will soon activate the video component of composite audio-video peripherals as the selected camera in Teams. This message applies to Teams for Windows desktops and Teams for Mac desktops.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 469496.
When this will happen:
Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out mid-January 2025 and expect to complete by late January 2025.
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in late January 2025 and expect to complete by early February 2025.
How this will affect your organization:
When a user selects an audio peripheral in the Room Audio option on the meeting prejoin screen, if that peripheral has a video component, that video component will be used as the video device for the Teams meeting.
This change will be available by default.
What you need to do to prepare:
Inform your users that this new behavior will be coming so they are aware that the room’s camera will be used if there is one.
