  "textContent": "🚨\n\n**Major Update:** This post contains a significant change that may impact your organisation.\n\n**[Introduction]**\n\n\nWe're introducing an update to how**front-of-room (FoR)** displays behave in Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android during webinars and structured meetings. This change ensures that when a Teams Room joins as a presenter, the in-room display defaults to the attendee view—creating a clearer and more professional experience for in-room participants, especially in hybrid scenarios where presenters and attendees are co-located.\n\nThis message is associated with Roadmap ID 559602.\n\n**[When this will happen:]**\n\n  * General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in**early June 2026** and expect to complete by **late June 2026**.\n  * General Availability (GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out in **mid-June 2026** and expect to complete by **late June 2026**.\n\n\n\n**[How this affects your organization:]**\n\n**Who is affected:**\n\n  * Organizations using Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android\n  * Meeting organizers and presenters running webinars or structured meetings\n  * In-room participants viewing front-of-room displays\n  * A **Teams Rooms Pro license** is needed to use this feature\n\n\n\n**What will happen:**\n\n  * The front-of-room display will default to attendee view when joining webinars or structured meetings.\n  * In-room audiences will not see presenter tools such as Green Room or backstage controls.\n  * Presenters will retain full control from the Teams Rooms console, including:\n    * Managing Green Room and off-stage participants.\n    * Switching display modes (e.g., to presenter view when needed).\n  * The feature is **enabled by default** and requires no configuration.\n  * There is**no impact to remote attendees** or their experience.\n  * Existing Teams Rooms functionality and policies remain unchanged.\n\n\n\nScreenshot 1: _Front-of-room webinar experience with**Manage screen** mode on and the user in **presenter** view:_\n\nScreenshot 2: _Console view in**presenter** view:_\n\nScreenshot 3: _Front-of-room webinar experience with the user in**attendee** view:_\n\nScreenshot 4: _Console view with the user in**attendee** view:_\n\n**[What you can do to prepare:]**\n\n  * No action is required to enable this feature.\n  * **Verify device readiness:** Ensure Teams Rooms on Android devices are updated.\n  * **Validate meeting room setup:** Confirm displays and consoles function as expected.\n  * Educate organizers and presenters on the updated experience.\n  * Update internal documentation.\n\n\n\n**[Compliance considerations:]**\n\nNo compliance considerations identified, review as appropriate for your organization.",
