Microsoft does have what should be
considered your ultimate resource when
deploying these systems.
It is here that you will likely find the information
that all partners adhere to. Each device type
and the information about that device type is
found here.
While each partner will publish specifics about
their own devices on their own support sites,
this should be a reference point of anyone
deploying Microsoft Teams Room systems.

16. Questions
fromthe
viewers
Twitter: #MTRAMA 16
What is important to look for when collecting
Event logs from Teams Rooms system?
Do you know how close the Zoom/Webex MTR
experience is on the road-map?
Are there approved Wireless Casting display
options for MTRs (built in Miracast as an example)
How do we control the MTR app and keep it at say
4.4.61.0 until we have fully tested 4.5.37.0?
What has your experience been with unmanged vs
managed MTR devices?

17. QuestionsSubmitted

I'm interested to understand where we are with MTR and Surface hub in co-joined
meetings
I have found proximity join to be a little unreliable on Logitech TAP MTR, maybe
bluetooth signal strength on the onboard bluetooth adapter? have you found this
to be the case - the only comparison I have is on the Poly x30 where it is bulletproof
