explanation for non-techies**

Imagine you're hosting a dinner party, and instead of everyone sitting around a single large table, you have small tables scattered around the room. Each table has a camera that captures the people sitting there, and the cameras are connected to a big screen that shows a dynamic collage of all the guests. This way, everyone can see each other clearly, no matter where they're sitting. This is similar to what the new Cloud IntelliFrame feature does for Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android.

Cloud IntelliFrame is like a virtual seating arrangement for video meetings. It uses AI to take the wide-angle view of a meeting room and transform it into individual video tiles for each participant. This makes it easier for remote attendees to see everyone clearly, enhancing engagement and communication in hybrid meetings. It's like turning a group photo into a series of individual portraits.

For those managing Microsoft Teams Rooms, this feature is now available for Android devices with a Teams Rooms Pro license. However, like setting up those cameras at your dinner party, it requires a bit of preparation. Administrators need to enable this feature manually through the Teams admin console, as it doesn't activate automatically. This ensures that existing policies remain unchanged, and you have control over when and where to use it.

Think of it as adding a new gadget to your kitchen; you need to decide when it's appropriate to use it and ensure your staff knows how it works. Similarly, it's a good idea to inform your helpdesk or AV support teams about this new feature so they can assist with any questions or issues that might arise. Updating your internal documentation to include details about Cloud IntelliFrame can also help keep everyone on the same page.

In summary, Cloud IntelliFrame is a tool that can enhance the virtual meeting experience by providing clearer, more focused views of participants. It requires some setup and communication within your organization, much like any new technology or tool you introduce into your workflow.
