Microsoft Teams: Select camera and audio devices in pre-join and during meetings on iPad [MC1155430]

Message ID: MC1155430

To improve meeting flexibility and user experience, Microsoft Teams now allows users on iPad to select external audio and video devices directly from the pre-join screen and during meetings. This enhancement supports users who rely on external peripherals for improved meeting quality and simplifies device switching without needing to access native iPad settings.

[When this will happen:]

• General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout began in mid-August 2025 and completed in early September 2025.

[How this will affect your organization:]

Who is affected: All users who join Microsoft Teams meetings using iPads.

What will happen:

• Users will see new options to select external microphones, speakers, and cameras in the pre-join and in-meeting experience.
• This feature is enabled by default; no admin configuration is required.
• Existing device settings and policies remain unchanged.
