Microsoft Teams Rooms is to receive two significant Windows updates in April — 4K native support on relevant displays and an upgrade with the new Teams client.
4K-enabled displays that function with Teams Rooms on Windows, such as thought boards and front-of-room displays, will soon be natively supported. However, 4K video streaming will not be supported quite yet.
The official 365 Roadmap wrote:
4K-enabled displays, including front-of-room displays and touch boards, are natively supported on the Teams Rooms experience."
It will work with Teams and Surface devices and is scheduled for general availability in two months.
Teams Rooms on Windows To Be Updated With New Teams Client
The new Teams app, launched for desktop users in October, will be supported on Teams Rooms on Windows in April.
"The new Teams app is now supported on Teams Rooms on Windows, allowing all Teams Rooms devices to optimize room experience and render intelligent audio and video more reliably," the official roadmap wrote.
Teams 2.0 (what Microsoft named Teams 2.1 internally) was initially launched in public preview in March, and it raised eyebrows for being up to twice as fast as the original client but with 50 percent less memory usage than its forebear.
