Updated October 1,7, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. 

Introduction

As part of our ongoing mission to deliver a modern, secure, and scalable one-stop management portal for admins, we are transitioning Teams Android device management from the Teams admin center (TAC) to the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal (PMP).

This move consolidates management of all Teams devices, including Teams Rooms on Windows, Teams Rooms on Android, Teams phones, and Teams panels, into a single unified portal, providing IT admins a consistent and seamless experience for managing devices at scale.

This message is associated with Roadmap ID 555235.

When this will happen:

  • General Availability (Worldwide): Effective July 2, 2026, the rollout is 100% complete across all regions in the Public cloud.
  • General Availability (GCC High): We expect to start the rollout by mid-August 2026 and complete by late-August 2026 (previously late-July).
  • General Availability (GCC and DoD): We expect to complete the rollout by mid-October 2026 (previously late-August).
  • Device management deprecation in TAC: The deprecation of Teams device management capabilities in TAC will begin in October 2026 and will roll out in phases based on device type and feature readiness.
    • For public cloud, we will begin the phased deprecation of SIP device management this week. The rollout will occur in stages and is expected to be fully completed by next week. 
    • The current planned sequence is: SIP devices → Teams Phones → Teams Rooms on Android & Teams Panels 
    • For government clouds, the deprecation rollout will follow the readiness of the respective environments. GCCH will follow the public cloud rollout, while GCC and DoD customers will have a migration period after the required convergence features become available.

How this affects your organization:

Who is affected:

Admins who manage Teams Rooms on Android, Teams phones, Teams panels, and SIP Phones.

What will happen:

  • By end of June 2026, Android device management capabilities, including inventory, updates, health monitoring, and settings will transition from TAC to PMP for the device types, Teams Rooms on Android, Teams phones, Teams panels and SIP Phones.
  • The following capabilities will be available and enhanced in PMP:
    • Device inventories for Android-based Teams Rooms, phones, and panels, including metadata and app information
    • Remote device actions (restart, log collection, sign-in/out, provisioning, and more)
    • Update management
    • Device settings management
    • Device health monitoring
    • SIP device management
  • PMP will become the primary portal for all Teams device management. By November 2026, overlapping TAC capabilities (updates, settings, restart, sign-in/out, log collection, provisioning) will be deprecated in TAC.
  • The article below serves as the main information source for this transition. It has been updated with the latest timelines, milestones, migration guidance, and readiness steps. We will keep updating it as the rollout progresses.
