Updated June 9, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. 

[Introduction]

Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android will soon be able to join third-party meetings using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). This capability enables seamless cross-platform interoperability, allowing users to connect to external meeting services directly from Teams Rooms on Android devices while maintaining a consistent and reliable meeting experience across diverse meeting platforms.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 558539.

[When this will happen:]

  • General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in late June 2026 (previously early June) and expect to complete by mid-August 2026 (previously early June).

[How this affects your organization:]

Who is affected:

  • Organizations with Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android devices
  • Organizations that host or join third-party meetings from shared meeting spaces
  • Admins managing Teams Rooms on Android devices licensed with Teams Rooms Pro

What will happen:

  • Users will be able to join supported third-party meetings (for example, Zoom or Webex) directly from Teams Rooms on Android devices when the meeting invitation includes a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) video meeting address.
  • This feature is off by default. Availability of this capability depends on Teams Rooms Pro licensing and appropriate device configuration. 

[What you can do to prepare:]

  • Test the feature with your lower-ring Teams Rooms on Android devices.
  • Prepare educational material for users in advance of release.
  • Identify users who frequently collaborate with external organizations using third-party meeting platforms and communicate upcoming capabilities.
  • Ensure that all Teams Rooms on Android devices that require this functionality are licensed with Teams Rooms Pro.
  • Update internal documentation for meeting room usage if applicable.
  • Communicate this change to your helpdesk and support teams.
