Assessment Reasoning
This update adjusts rollout timelines for transitioning Teams Android device management from the Teams admin centre to the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal. The change affects how admins manage and monitor Teams Rooms, phones and panels, requiring documentation and process updates. User‑facing impact is indirect since management tools, not end‑user features, are changing. Admins should prepare for phased TAC deprecation and start using the PMP ahead of January 2027 completion.

📢 Official Microsoft Message Center Announcement

(Updated) Transitioning Teams Android Device Management from Teams admin Center to the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal
Message ID: MC1227622 (Updated)

Updated October 28, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. 

[Introduction]

As part of our ongoing mission to deliver a modern, secure, and scalable one-stop management portal for admins, we are transitioning Teams Android device management from the Teams admin center (TAC) to the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal (PMP).

This move consolidates management of all Teams devices, including Teams Rooms on Windows, Teams Rooms on Android, Teams phones, and Teams panels, into a single unified portal, providing IT admins a consistent and seamless experience for managing devices at scale.

This message is associated with Roadmap ID 555235.

[When this will happen:]

  • General Availability (Worldwide): Effective July 2, 2026, the rollout is 100% complete across all regions in the Public cloud. 
  • General Availability (GCC): We expect to start the rollout by Nov 2026 and complete by late-Nov 2026 (previously late-Oct). 
  • General Availability (GCC High and DoD): Effective October 8, 2026, the rollout is 100% complete across GCCH and DoD clouds. 
  • Device management deprecation in TAC: The deprecation of Teams device management capabilities in TAC will begin in November 2026 and will roll out in phases based on device type and feature readiness. 
    • For public clouds – 
      • SIP, MTR-A and Panels devices administration experience in TAC will start deprecating by Mid-November and will complete by end of November. 
      • Phones devices administration experience in TAC will start deprecating by early December and complete by December 15th. 
    • For Gov clouds ( GCC, GCC-H and DoD) 
      • For GCC-H and DoD, device administration experience in TAC will start deprecating by early December and will be completed by December 15th. 
      • For GCC, devices administration experience in TAC will start deprecating by early January and will be completed by January 30th. 
      • Phones devices administration experience for all Sovereign cloud (GCC, GCC-H, DoD) customers will start deprecating by early January and will be completed by January 30th.

[How this affects your organization:]

Who is affected:

  • The following capabilities will be available and enhanced in PMP:
    • Device inventories for Android-based Teams Rooms, phones, and panels, including metadata and app information
    • Remote device actions (restart, log collection, sign-in/out, provisioning, and more)

    • Device settings management

    • SIP device management
