When a Teams Rooms on Android is invited as a meeting presenter, the front-of-room display defaults to the attendee view. Presenters always have full control from the console, including green room and off-stage management, and can switch the front-of-room display to presenter view without impacting attendees. Available in Teams Rooms Pro. Note: An earlier listing incorrectly stated this feature applied to webinars as well. That experience is still in development and will be released later in 2026.

Imagine you're hosting a large conference in a physical venue. In this setting, you have a main stage where speakers present to the audience, and a backstage area where presenters can prepare and manage their presentations without being seen by the attendees. This is similar to what Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android offers with its new feature for Town Hall and Webinar events.
When a Teams Room is invited as a presenter, the main screen in the room defaults to what the audience, or attendees, would see. This is like the main stage at your conference. However, the presenters have a control panel, much like a backstage area, where they can manage everything behind the scenes. They can switch what the audience sees on the main screen to a presenter view if needed, without disrupting the attendee experience. This means they can prepare, adjust, and manage their presentation smoothly, just like a stage manager would do at a live event.
This feature is part of Teams Rooms Pro and is designed to make virtual presentations as seamless and professional as possible, ensuring that presenters have all the tools they need to deliver their message effectively, while attendees enjoy a polished and uninterrupted experience.

This new feature sets the in-room viewing experience on the front of room display to attendee view by default so presenter-specific features, such as the green room and backroom chat, or off-stage presenters are hidden. Presenters in the room can still see their view on the console and manage everything smoothly without distracting the audience. | When a Teams Rooms on Android is invited as a meeting presenter, the front-of-room display defaults to the attendee view.
