explanation for non-techies**

Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows is introducing a new feature for Pro users that allows wireless content sharing through Miracast. Imagine Miracast as a wireless HDMI cable. Just like you would connect your laptop to a projector with a cable to display your presentation, Miracast lets you do this without any physical connection. This can be particularly useful in meeting rooms where you want to share content quickly and easily without fumbling with cables.

The feature will be available starting from mid-February 2026 and will be fully rolled out by the end of March 2026. However, it will not be automatically turned on. Think of it like a new channel on your TV that you need to subscribe to before you can watch it. IT administrators will need to enable this feature through the admin portal. This means that unless the IT team decides to turn it on, the end-users won't notice any change in their workflow.

For this feature to work, the laptops used must be compatible with Miracast. It's similar to needing a specific app on your phone to access certain services. If the app isn't installed, you can't use the service. So, it's important for IT teams to check which devices support Miracast before enabling this feature.

Once enabled, this will provide a new option for sharing content in meeting rooms, alongside existing methods like Teams Cast and HDMI. It's a bit like adding a new tool to your toolbox, giving you more flexibility in how you present and share information during meetings.

To prepare for this change, IT administrators should review their current devices to ensure compatibility, update any necessary documentation, and inform helpdesk and meeting room support staff about this new option. There are no compliance issues identified with this feature, but it's always a good idea to review any new technology in the context of your organization's policies.
