Teams Android device management moves out of TAC
Reviewed by Helen Jones
Microsoft updated its Teams Android device-management guidance on 18 August. Management of Teams Rooms on Android, phones, panels and SIP devices is moving from the Teams admin center (TAC) to the Teams Rooms Pro Management Portal, with TAC’s overlapping controls scheduled to retire by the end of September.
This is an operational handover, not just a new portal link. Admins who rely on TAC for device inventory, updates, logs, sign-in or settings need their team to be able to work in the Pro Management Portal before those TAC paths disappear. Older, offline or permanently paused devices are the main risk. Microsoft requires a minimum Admin Agent version for management in the new portal; unsupported or very old devices may need an OEM firmware step before they can be brought under control.
Analysis
Open the Teams Rooms Pro Management Portal and compare its Android inventory with TAC. Flag devices that are offline, on old Admin Agent versions or have paused updates, then test an update and log-collection workflow before September.
