This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 161423

When this will happen:

We will begin rolling out in late February 2024 (previously early February) and expect to complete rollout by mid-April 2024 (previously mid-March).

How this will affect your organization:

Teams Rooms on Android devices applies the Teams Premium meeting security features including end-to-end encryption and sensitivity labels if the meeting organizer has them turned ON.

Note: Features need to be activated through the Meeting options in Teams Calendar or Outlook on desktop or mobile devices. To enable the features a Teams premium license may be required.

If End-to-end Encryption is enabled, the Teams Rooms on Android will display a shield with a lock icon next to the view switcher. This icon includes a 20-digit group key that can be verified with other meeting participants. If a Teams meeting is set with a Sensitivity Label, room users will be informed that the label has been applied when clicking the shield with a lock icon.

Note: Together mode and Large Gallery are not available during End-to-end Encrypted Meetings, but meeting chat is permitted.
