Assessment Reasoning
The update confirms revised rollout dates for GCC and deprecation timing. This change requires admins to move Android device management from TAC to PMP, update procedures, and retrain support staff. User impact is low as this is an admin-side change, but urgency remains moderate because TAC capabilities will be deprecated by September 2026, requiring timely planning and transition.

📢 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 August 6, 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 High and DoD): We expect to start the rollout by mid-August 2026 and complete by late-August 2026 (previously late-July).
  • General Availability (GCC): We expect to complete the rollout by late-August 2026.
  • Device management deprecation in TAC: We will start the deprecation for Public cloud customers early September 2026 (previously August) and expect to complete by end of September 2026 in all the clouds.

[How this affects your organization:]

Who is affected:

Admins who manage Teams Rooms on Android, Teams phones, Teams panels, and SIP Phones.

What will happen:

  • By end of June 2026, Android device management capabilities, including inventory, updates, health monitoring, and settings will transition from TAC to PMP for the device types, Teams Rooms on Android, Teams phones, Teams panels and SIP Phones.
  • 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)
    • Update management
    • Device settings management
    • Device health monitoring
    • SIP device management
  • PMP will become the primary portal for all Teams device management. By September 2026, overlapping TAC capabilities (updates, settings, restart, sign-in/out, log collection, provisioning) will be deprecated in TAC.
  • The article below serves as the main information source for this transition. It has been updated with the latest timelines, milestones, migration guidance, and readiness steps. We will keep updating it as the rollout progresses.
