Users can more easily use their laptop for meetings and collaboration in spaces like focus or huddle rooms that don’t yet have a Teams Rooms system. The new room optimization mode replaces shared display mode, has a new location, and enables or disables room-specific features. When room peripherals are connected, Teams can automatically select audio and video devices, enable speaker recognition and shared display, and disable voice isolation.
