Summary:
Automatic updates for Teams Android Devices to Company Portal version 5.0.6152.0 are planned, starting mid-October 2024 until late December 2024. Devices running older versions may be unstable after July 1, 2025. Organizations should ensure devices are updated and check Teams Admin Center for current firmware and application versions. Accelerated updates will occur outside business hours, overriding normal update timelines and maintenance windows. Devices no longer supported will not receive updates. Preparation may include manual updates or allowing automatic updates to proceed.

Details:
If your organization does not use Teams Android Devices you can safely disregard this message.
Planned Maintenance: Automatic updates for all certified and supported Teams Android Devices to Company Portal version 5.0.6152.0.
Upcoming Microsoft Infrastructure changes will impact Teams Android Devices running older and out of support firmware and applications. Teams Android Devices (Teams Rooms on Android, Teams Phone, Teams Display, and Teams Panel devices) running Company Portal applications older than 5.0.6061.0 may sign out or be unstable starting July 1, 2025. We recommend ensuring your devices are on 5.0.6152.0 as soon as possible as that is the latest supported version to ensure stability.
Please review your existing Teams Android devices and ensure they are on the latest supported and available firmware and application versions. In Teams Admin Center > Teams Devices you can export your current device inventory using the Excel icon for each device type, this export includes a column for Company Portal version. If you find devices not on 5.0.6152.0, please update your Teams Android devices to the latest available firmware in Teams Admin Center, you can review manual and automatic update options as explained in this link.
Since this Company Portal update is critical to ensure your devices stability, Microsoft will begin accelerated automatic firmware and company portal app only updates to ensure latest release for devices not currently running the latest release.
[When will these updates happen:]
These auto-updates will start rolling out mid-October 2024 and will continue until late December 2024.
