This feature, off by default, requires admin activation and supports adding guests. It applies to Teams Rooms Pro and Shared Device licensed rooms, streamlining scheduling without switching devices.

[Introduction]
To help organizations schedule shared spaces more efficiently, Microsoft Teams will introduce the ability for users to book future meetings directly from Teams panel devices running on Android. This change reduces the need to switch to a desktop or mobile calendar and helps streamline ad‑hoc and near‑term scheduling in shared spaces. The feature will be available for rooms with Teams Rooms Pro and Shared Device licenses.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 557168.
Note: This feature is supported only on Teams panel devices running Android and is not available on non‑Android panel hardware.
[When this will happen]
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCCH): We will begin rolling out in early May 2026 and expect to complete in early May 2026.
