Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android now offers the ability to join Town Halls and webinars as an attendee. Think of it like attending a large conference or meeting in a big hall. Previously, you might have needed a special ticket or access point to get in, but now you can enter directly from your designated spot, which in this case is the Teams Room on your Android device. This update means that you can participate in these large virtual gatherings with the same capabilities as if you were using the Teams desktop app.

Imagine you have a remote control that allows you to watch a live event on your TV. Before, you might have needed to switch to a different device to access certain features or content. Now, with this new capability, your remote control (or in this case, your Teams Room on Android) lets you experience the event fully without needing to switch devices. This enhancement is part of the Teams Rooms Pro package, ensuring that attendees can seamlessly join and engage in Town Halls and webinars from wherever they are, using their Android-based Teams Rooms setup.
