 | Whether planning to deploy Microsoft Teams Room on Android (MTRoA) solution for a Proof-of-Concept (POC) or an actual deployment, there are certain mandatory pre-requisites that have to be met before the solution can be deployed successfully in a corporate network environment. This includes hardware components of the solution, software licenses, network requirements as well as firewall ports and proxy configurations, and last but not least security and AD/AAD requirements. Below is a handy checklist to make sure all the pre-requisites are met before starting to unbox that brand new MTRoA you just received :) |
Assuming that AC power requirements and single or dual HDMI 1080p displays are available, ensure that the MTRoA solution has the following:
