Both controls are accessible from the device settings and Teams Admin Center.

Note

If you are deploying Teams Rooms on Android devices with dual displays, be aware that dual display mode must be explicitly enabled in the configuration profile. By default, the dual display setting is disabled, which means that using an existing configuration profile (designed for single-display devices by default) may inadvertently disable dual display mode for your existing dual display rooms. To avoid this, you must create and maintain a separate configuration profile for any devices that require dual display support. Learn more.
