Before introducing Microsoft Teams Room Pro and Basic licenses SKU last September 2022, we used Teams Room Standard or Premium SKU to use Surface Hub 2S, MTRoW, and MTRoA devices.
Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR) are devices that enable high-quality video conferencing and collaboration in meeting spaces of any size. MTR devices can be purchased from various hardware vendors, such as HP, Lenovo, Logitech, Crestron, and Yealink. However, to use these devices effectively, they need to be managed and supported by IT professionals who can ensure their availability, security, and performance.
Before introducing Microsoft Teams Room Pro and Basic licenses SKU last September 2022, we used Teams Room Standard or Premium SKU to use Surface Hub 2S, MTRoW, and MTRoA devices.
What is the difference between Standard and Premium SKU -
Teams Room Premium is a new license SKU that provides a comprehensive service for managing and supporting MTR devices. Teams Room Premium includes the following services:
