Microsoft Teams Room on Windows Updates makes new UI improvements to alien with MTRoA Devices. So, users will have the same experience across the room platforms.

Microsoft is improving the user interface across Microsoft Teams Room on Windows & Android to make it a better user experience. With Teams Room on Windows Update 4.16, there are new UI changes and improvements to make the room better used for it.

Currently, the calendar invites are shown only on the Room console on MTRoW devices (this is already available in MTRoA rooms). However, post the client upgrade, the Front Room Display will show the calendar invites for the 24 hours window (currently, you have only a few invites shown on the console, not the complete 24 hours window).
