Neat OS 26.1: Secure Your Neat Device by Changing the Default Admin Password (Microsoft Teams + Pulse)

Graham Walsh demonstrates a new security feature in Neat OS 26.1 during an out-of-box setup of a Neat Board using Neat Pulse Remote Control. After enrolling the device and selecting Microsoft Teams, he explains that the default admin passcode is the last six digits of the serial number and shows that the new build requires setting a new admin password on first admin sign-in, making the default fail. He then shows how admins can set or override the device admin password instantly via Neat Pulse, and alternatively via a Microsoft Teams Admin Center configuration profile using the “default admin password” setting, which applies to Teams Rooms on Android and Teams Panels. He notes device code flow sign-in can bypass the on-device “Register” step and that these options can avoid needing a factory reset.

Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android (April 2026 Update): Live Transcripts + Ad Hoc Room Reservations

Graham Walsh walks through the April 2026 Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android update using a Neat Bar Pro and Neat Pad Pro, highlighting new features including ad hoc room reservation and Live Transcription. He demonstrates joining a scheduled meeting, enabling captions with speaker recognition and changing caption language, then switching to the new Transcript view that appears on the right side and can display both the original language and English simultaneously. He notes how unidentified speakers appear as anonymous if their voice isn’t enrolled, and explains how transcripts feed into meeting recaps with AI summaries and speaker attribution for Teams Premium or Copilot users. Finally, he shows the new Reserve button for on-device ad hoc bookings and the setting to disable it, which is on by default.
