Microsoft Teams: Digital signage support for Teams panels [MC1311979]

Message ID: MC1311979

[Introduction]

Microsoft Teams is introducing support for displaying digital signage on idle Teams panel devices. This capability extends existing digital signage scenarios already available on Teams Rooms front-of-room displays, helping organizations deliver consistent branding and communications across shared spaces.

Admins can configure digital signage at both the tenant-wide and device-specific level through the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal. This feature supports select third-party providers such as Appspace and XOGO, and is available with Teams Rooms Pro or Teams Shared Spaces licenses.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 558852.

[When this will happen:]

  • General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout will begin in early June 2026 and is expected to complete by mid-June 2026.

[What you can do to prepare:]

No immediate action is required before rollout.

To prepare or take advantage of this feature:
  • Review your current digital signage strategy for Teams Rooms and shared spaces.
  • Plan content optimized for Teams panels:
    • Recommended resolution: 1280 × 800
  • Use separate digital signage sources for Teams panels and front-of-room displays:
    • Teams panels have smaller displays than front-of-room screens.
    • Content designed for larger displays may not render well on panels.
  • Configure signage settings when available:
    • Navigate to Teams Rooms Pro Management portal > Settings > Digital signage.
  • Consider using separate signage content sources for:
    • Front-of-room displays, and
    • Teams panels (due to smaller screen size).
  • To set up a digital signage source specifically for Teams panels, when assigning a signage source to devices, choose the Teams panels only option on the preference setting Show signage on Teams panels.
  • Validate compatibility with supported partners (for example, Appspace or XOGO).
  • Notify facilities or communications teams responsible for signage.
