Microsoft Teams: Enhanced cross-platform join via Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for Teams Rooms on Android

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.
