Microsoft Teams Pro Management Portal for Teams Rooms on Android & Teams Panels (Neat Walkthrough)

Graham from Neat walks through managing Teams Rooms on Android and Teams Panels in the Microsoft Teams Pro Management Portal (PMP), starting with ensuring devices are updated in Teams Admin Center and highlighting that full PMP management requires the Microsoft Admin Agent version 8.30. He shows how PMP clusters front-of-room and touch devices together, enables filtering, and provides device details and searchable settings, with configuration changes applying instantly or via a maintenance window. The demo covers viewing signals and status, job history and events, collecting and downloading logs, and running actions like reboot and remote logout (one at a time). He explains Android update rings and scheduling, switching PMP to be the source of truth for updates, importing TAC configuration profiles as settings templates, assigning templates to rooms/devices, and notes custom backgrounds are not yet available but coming soon.

Why Your Microsoft Teams Panel Won’t Update During Meetings (Teams Admin Center Tip)

Graham from Neat shares a quick tip after trying to update a Teams panel that kept timing out. In the Teams Admin Center, he finds the message indicating the update operation was rescheduled because there was a scheduled meeting. The key takeaway is that Teams devices won’t update when a meeting is scheduled, helping prevent interruptions during meetings.
