New Microsoft Teams Panels August Update: Digital Signage, Device Settings Sync & PMP Rollout
This episode tours the August Microsoft Teams Panels app update (build ending 6706) and how to deploy and manage it from the Teams Rooms Pro Management/Panel Management Portal as Teams Admin Center phases out. It highlights new digital signage support on panels, including Appspace and Xogo integrations and the option to use non-auth, non-iframe URLs for custom signage, then demonstrates enabling signage on a specific panel, setting idle/wake behavior, and noting that Appspace signage registers the device and consumes a license. The video also explains and tests device settings sync/two-way sync (for device settings like time zone and high contrast, not Teams panel app settings), shows pending/confirmation status in the portal, and reviews update ring visibility and tracking in PMP compared with TAC.
