Microsoft Teams Rooms requirements
Microsoft Teams Rooms scale to different room sizes. Teams Rooms use a wide variety of certified audio and video peripherals based on the size and use of the room. By selecting the right core device and console, combined with microphones, speakers, cameras, and displays appropriate for the space, you can deploy Microsoft Teams Rooms into spaces of any size from small huddle spaces up through large conference spaces and boardrooms. The full set of all available certified audio and video peripherals that may be used to configure your room is available in the Device Showcase.
