[Introduction]
As part of our ongoing mission to deliver a modern, secure, and scalable one-stop management portal for admins, we are transitioning Teams Android device management from the Teams admin center (TAC) to the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal (PMP).
This move consolidates management of all Teams devices, including Teams Rooms on Windows, Teams Rooms on Android, Teams phones, and Teams panels, into a single unified portal, providing IT admins a consistent and seamless experience for managing devices at scale.
[When this will happen:]
Public Preview: We will begin rollout in early April 2026 and expect to complete by mid-April 2026.
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rollout in early June 2026 and expect to complete by mid-June 2026.
General Availability (GCC High): We will begin rollout in early August 2026 and expect to complete by mid-August 2026.
General Availability (DoD): We will begin rollout in early September 2026 and expect to complete by mid-September 2026.
