  • Organizations using Microsoft Teams Rooms devices

Platforms/Services

  • Teams Rooms on Windows
  • Teams Rooms on Android

What will happen

  • Teams Rooms devices running outdated app versions may not fully support PowerPoint Live experience, including:
    • Synchronized media playback
    • Viewing real-time inking and annotation
    • There is no change to existing admin policies.
    • Functionality remains consistent once devices are updated.

    Action Required/Recommendations

    To maintain PowerPoint Live functionality, complete the following:

    • Update Teams Rooms devices to supported versions:
      • Windows: Version 5.6.135 (available now) or greater
      • Android: Version 1449/1.0.96.2026129709 (available now) or greater
    • Complete updates before August 3, 2026.
    • Review device update processes to ensure compliance across all meeting rooms.
    • Notify IT support/helpdesk teams of potential functionality impact if devices are not updated.

    Compliance Considerations

    QuestionAnswer
    Does the change alter how existing customer data is processed, stored, or accessed (such as documents, emails, chats, etc.)?Yes. The update to PowerPoint Live functionality may affect how presentation content is synchronized and rendered across Teams clients, but it does not introduce new data storage or retention changes.
