📢 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 1, 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): We expect to start the rollout by mid-August 2026 and complete by late-August 2026 (previously late-July).
- General Availability (GCC and DoD): We expect to complete the rollout by mid-October 2026 (previously late-August).
- Device management deprecation in TAC: The deprecation of Teams device management capabilities in TAC will begin in October 2026 and will roll out in phases based on device type and feature readiness.
[How this affects your organization:]
