[Introduction]
We're introducing an update to how front-of-room (FoR) displays behave in Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android during webinars and structured meetings. This change ensures that when a Teams Room joins as a presenter, the in-room display defaults to the attendee view-creating a clearer and more professional experience for in-room participants, especially in hybrid scenarios where presenters and attendees are co-located.
This message is associated with Roadmap ID 559602.
