How do I re-enable the new Teams UI after previously hiding the front-display calendar view?

Question

I've followed the instructions in the article below to temporarily hide the front-of-room calendar display since it blocked our logo. We've now received an updated asset that will play nice with this new feature and would like to re-enable the new UI on the front displays.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/rooms/mtr-home-refresh#hide-front-of-room-calendar-display

I've tried updating the .xml file with the following code, with no results:<TeamsRoomsNewExperience>false</TeamsRoomsNewExperience>

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Answer 1

I think you have to create a file named SkypeSettings.xml located at following path C:\Users\Skype\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.SkypeRoomSystem_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState

Add following line:

<TeamsRoomsNewExperience>false</TeamsRoomsNewExperience>

Save the file then Restart the MTR device, If the file was deleted after restarting the change was applied.

Please remember that starting with version 4.17, the refreshed home screen design is enabled by default. The </TeamsRoomsNewExperience> setting will be removed in a future release.

Have a good day.

Hi @Diaz, Patrick

As mentioned above, if there is still no result after updating the file according to the steps, you can also try to clear the Teams cache:
