Summary:
Microsoft Teams is updating to a unified backend infrastructure for immersive spaces, simplifying network setup. Rollouts begin mid-August 2024, with full availability by late September 2024. Organizations will need fewer endpoint and firewall configurations, and users won't need to consent to Mesh's terms for spatial audio. No admin action is required before the rollout.
Details:
Coming soon to Microsoft Teams: We are starting to transition immersive spaces in Teams to the same backend infrastructure as the rest of Microsoft Teams for spatial audio. Once complete, this rollout will simplify network setup requirements needed to roll out immersive spaces with the Microsoft Mesh app in Teams to your organization.
[When this will happen:]
Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out mid-August 2024 and expect to complete by late August 2024.
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late August 2024 and expect to complete by late September 2024.
