This roadmap item is removed as it is a duplication of functionality already delivered. We apologize for any confusion. All Android-based Microsoft Teams devices including Teams phone, non-touch phones, Teams displays, Teams panels, and Teams Rooms on Android, will use IC3 tokens instead of Skype tokens for modern, secure authorization. Admins can enable ‘Block Legacy Authorization’ to update their tokens when this feature is available.

summary for non-techies**

Microsoft Teams is transitioning from the older "Skype key" to the more secure "IC3 key" for Android devices, enhancing security by blocking legacy authorization and ensuring only the new keys are used.

Direct effects for Operations**

Token Authorization Change
Switching from Skype tokens to IC3 tokens without preparation may lead to authentication failures for users, resulting in inability to access Teams services.
