This article lists the known issues for the Microsoft Teams Rooms app when it's used on Windows and Android devices.
Teams Rooms on Windows
Software issues
| Issue | Description | Workaround |
|---|---|---|
| Low meeting volume after content sharing | Teams Rooms devices on Windows 10 20H2 experience decreased media and meeting volume after you share content through in-room HDMI. This issue is caused by an audio condition in Windows 10 20H2. | To fix this issue, upgrade to version 4.9.12.0 of the Teams Rooms app. |
| Teams Rooms app out of date | The Teams Rooms console displays the system config out of date error. | To fix this issue, use the Microsoft Teams Rooms recovery tool. |
| Windows version on device updated to unsupported version for Teams Rooms | A Windows 10 device is updated from version 1803 to version 1809. Version 1809 isn't supported for Teams Rooms. | This issue can occur if the Group Policy or MDM setting for the DeferFeatureUpdatesPeriodinDays parameter is set to 365 days, which is the maximum value. As of March 27, 2020, version 1809 is more than 365 days old. Therefore, the Windows 10 device that's running version 1803 installs version 1809 after 365 days of running version 1803. However, version 1809 isn't supported for Teams Rooms and might cause issues that affect Teams Rooms adversely. To avoid this situation, remove the configuration from any Group Policy or MDM setting that's set up to defer updates. It's important to leave the policy or setting unconfigured and not set to 0. Then the device will always update to the latest version of Windows that supports Teams Rooms. |
| Virtual keyboard missing | The virtual keyboard doesn't appear when you have to enter information in Teams Rooms devices. This issue occurs in Windows 10, version 1903. | Install the April 2020 Cumulative Update for Windows 10, version 1903 for x64-based systems through Windows Update. |
| Teams Rooms app fails to start after update | If your Teams Rooms device uses a processor (CPU) which supports Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET), such as the 11th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor or later and you have:
|
Reimage the Teams Rooms device with OEM media that uses Windows operating system version 20H2 or later. |
| Can't access Windows Settings from the desktop right-click menu. | On Teams Rooms devices that are running app version 3.1.98.0 or later versions, any user account that has the Teams Rooms app installed will be able to access Windows Settings only by using the Start menu. If you try to access Windows Settings by using another method, the Teams Rooms app will open instead. | Use one of the following workarounds to access Windows Settings:

Hardware issues
| Issue | Description | Workaround |
|---|---|---|
| Monitors not detected | When you run Teams Rooms on a Surface Pro (Model 2017) device, monitors aren't detected. | Hold down the power button of the Surface Pro device for 20 seconds or more to restart it. A restart will clear the graphics cache. |
| During a Coordinated meeting, when the meeting volume is changed by using a room remote, the speaker on a Surface Hub or Teams Rooms device turns on. | For a trusted device such as a Surface Hub or Teams Rooms device that is set up to auto-join a Coordinated meeting when the primary device joins, the speaker turns on when the meeting volume is changed by using a room remote. This issue occurs even though the audio settings on the device are turned off, and whether they are enabled or disabled. | Turn off proximity join and room remote capabilities on the trusted devices that auto-join a Coordinated meeting. |

Issues with Teams phones
| Issue | Description | Workaround |
|---|---|---|
| Sign in loops or fails for Teams on Android phones | You can't sign in or the sign-in continually loops when both the MFA and the Terms of Use (ToU) Conditional Access (CA) policies are used. | The combination of MFA CA and ToU CA isn't supported. You should exclude it from being used. To avoid the sign-in error, ensure that only the MFA CA or only the MDM CA is used. When only the MFA CA is used, make sure that it's enabled in Device Registration Services (DRS). For more information, see Conditional Access: Cloud apps, actions, and authentication context. |
| Can't add, delete, or edit contacts on Android phones | You can't perform the add, delete, and edit operations on contacts from Teams on Android phones. | Use either the Teams desktop or the Teams web client to perform these actions. |

This issue doesn't occur on other clouds. | No workaround is available at this time. |
Limitations
- Front row requires 1920 × 1080 resolution for a 16:9 display or 2560 × 1080 resolution for a 21:9 display. These displays are set to 100 percent scaling. If the chat panel on your front-of-room display shows unreadable UI, see Change scale and resolution for front-of-room to adjust your display settings.
- Microsoft Teams Rooms doesn't support High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) input. Using HDCP input may cause issues that affect High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) ingest functionality, such as video and audio. To avoid these issues, make sure that the HDCP options are turned off for switches that are connected to Teams Rooms.
Expected behavior
If your Teams Rooms device loses trust with the domain, you won't be able to authenticate into the device and access its settings. For example, if you remove Teams Rooms from the domain after it gets domain joined, the trust relationship will be lost. In this situation, sign in to the device by using a local administrator account.
A consumer TV that's used as the front-of-room display might cause stability issues with Teams Rooms for the following reasons:
- Inconsistent implementation of standby modes
- Active video source selection
- Incorrect EDID information that's communicated to the Teams Rooms device
Known symptoms include a black or gray screen on the front-of-room display, or the Teams Rooms console becomes unresponsive after waking from standby mode. If you experience issues when you use consumer TVs, we recommend that you install a configurable EDID controller or EDID emulator, such as the HD-RX-4K-201-C-E from Crestron, or DR-EDID Emulator from FSR Video Products Group.
Teams Admin Center only identifies valid certified firmware. If uncertified firmware is updated on the device by means other than the Teams Admin Center, the Admin Center will provide only the old firmware. This issue may occur with Teams Rooms on Android devices and Teams IP phones.
