Microsoft Teams will update participant roster grouping for BYOD meeting rooms, with a rollout starting mid-October 2024.

Details:
Updated December 6, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below.
We will not be rolling this out to organizations in GCC High or DoD during the timeline outlined below. We will communicate via Message center when we are ready to proceed. Organizations in GCC High and DoD can safely disregard this message. Thank you for your patience.
Coming soon for Microsoft Teams: When users join a Teams meeting with their laptop in bring your own device (BYOD) meeting rooms, they will appear in the In-room participant section of the roster, which enables individual identification and meeting intelligence capabilities. As communicated in MC814577 (Updated) Microsoft Teams: Roster grouping for in-room participants through Proximity Join for Teams Rooms on Windows (July 2024), we will launch this same experience in September 2024 for joining a nearby meeting with a Microsoft Teams Room and a companion device.
Unique to BYOD meeting rooms, the roster group will be displayed as Meeting space if the connected device is NOT identified in the Teams Pro Management Portal (PMP). If the device is identified in the PMP, the roster group will display the configured meeting room name.

Roster Grouping Impact
Participants joining from BYOD meeting rooms will be grouped under the room node, potentially causing confusion for users who expect to see individual names in the roster.
- roles: End Users, Meeting Organizers

User Experience Disruption
Users may experience a lack of clarity in participant identification, as the grouping may obscure individual contributions during meetings, especially in larger groups.
