Summary:
Microsoft Teams will soon support wired headsets for the Walkie Talkie app on iOS, allowing hands-free and push-to-talk operations. The rollout begins in early March 2025 and will be completed by mid-March 2025. No admin action is required, but user notification and documentation updates are recommended.
Details:
If your organization does not support iOS, you can safely ignore this message.
Coming soon for Microsoft Teams: We will introduce support for wired headsets in the Walkie Talkie app for iOS, enhancing communication flexibility and convenience. After this rollout, users can use generic wired headsets with a play/pause button in toggle-to-talk mode, for hands-free operation with one tap. Also, specialized push-to-talk (PTT) headsets will be supported in conventional push-to-talk mode.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 476734.

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out early March 2025 and expect to complete by mid-March 2025.
