Microsoft Teams: PowerPoint Live support for webinars and structured meetings on Teams Rooms on Android

[What and Why:]

Teams Rooms on Android will support PowerPoint Live during webinars and structured meetings. Participants in the room can view PowerPoint Live content shared by a remote participant, navigate to different slides for local viewing, and take control of the presentation from the presenter.

These capabilities are available from the room console or through the meeting controls on Android touch boards. A Teams Rooms Pro license is required to use this feature.

[Rollout Schedule:]

General Availability: We will begin rolling out in mid November 2026 and expect to complete by late November 2026.

[Impact on Your Organization:]

Who is affected:

• Organizations with Teams Rooms on Android devices used for webinars or structured meetings.

What will happen:

• Greater flexibility for in-room participants to review PowerPoint content at their own pace without disrupting the presentation for others.
• Easier presenter handoff, allowing participants in the room to take control when needed.
• A more consistent PowerPoint Live experience across regular meetings and events on Teams Rooms on Android.

[Action Required/Recommendations:]

No action is required. If your organization uses webinars or structured meetings with Teams Rooms on Android, consider informing users about the new PowerPoint Live capabilities available in meeting rooms.
