2023-03-08MC How AffectA revitalized Teams Rooms User interface
Teams Rooms on Windows is introducing an updated home screen experience for its console and front-of-room displays. Learn more You will have access to five new themes, including a new default theme called "Vivid Flag." If your organization already has a custom theme in place, this update will not override it and will maintain your current theme.
Note: your theme may need to be adjusted due to the new calendar element on the room display.
The new calendar on Home screen is now using Exchange REST APIs instead of Exchange Web Services (EWS) as previously used. Please ensure your Exchange Calendar works with Microsoft Teams. Learn more
If you need to use EWS, the calendar will lack functionality like joining a meeting and Direct Guest Join. However, you can choose to roll back to the legacy Home screen experience using XML. Learn more
true



Enhanced Layout switcher
The view switcher menu has an updated interface, offering end users more control over the front-of-room displays during meetings. This allows users to personalize the front-of-room view, including the visibility of the meeting chat and the components displayed on the left and right panels. IT administrators can also configure the default number of panels and the default component on each panel using XML.

Teams Premium support, including Watermark, End-to-end Encryption for meetings, and Sensitivity labels
Please note that the features need to be activated through the Meeting options in Teams Calendar or Outlook on desktop or mobile devices. To enable the features a Teams premium license may be required.
When Teams Rooms on Windows device joins a Teams meeting that has watermark enabled for the content and/or participant videos, the front-of-room display will display the email address for the room on the content and/or participant videos.

If End-to-end Encryption is enabled, the Teams Rooms on Windows console will display a shield with a lock icon. This icon includes a 20-digit group key that can be verified with other meeting participants. Note that Together mode and Large Gallery are not available during End-to-end Encrypted Meetings, but meeting chat is permitted. If a Teams meeting is set with a Confidential Sensitivity Label, room users will be informed that the label has been applied when clicking the shield with a lock icon on the console.

Please refer to the details about the Teams Premium features.

If you already have a custom theme in place, this update will maintain your current custom theme. However, it may need to be adjusted due to the new calendar element on the room display. Check the Microsoft Learn page for updated custom theme creation guidelines upon release of this feature.
The new calendar is now a shared component between Teams Rooms on Windows and Teams desktop. This means that we are aligning the support for Exchange server versions between both clients. Please ensure your Exchange calendar works well with Microsoft Teams to prevent any calendar issues experienced on Teams desktop from carrying over to Teams Rooms on Windows. Learn more.
Note that in this app update, customers who are using the Exchange on-prem service may experience limited calendar functionalities in the new home experience, such as not being able to join cross-tenant meetings, forwarded meetings, third-party meetings, and Teams Live Events. To prevent any disruption to your organization, we recommend holding off opting into the new home experience unless you are already using Exchange online service. Calendar feature parity can be expected when the new home experience becomes the default interface.
To allow customers to prepare for changes, the new home experience will be an opt-in model in this 4.16 release. Customers may opt-in by setting the value of this XML setting to TRUE: true
