One time passcode setup and other new features

Improvements

Touch board form factor support

Teams Rooms on Windows now support certified Touch board form factors like Surface Hub 3. Touch boards run Teams rooms touch experience on single screen. Portrait mode/Rotation on Surface Hub 3 is in preview with more optimizations to follow.

One time passcode (OTP) based setup

One-time passcode (OTP) provides a new and simplified way to set up Teams Room on Windows. During the first-time setup experience, the installer is presented with an option to enter a One-time passcode instead of resource account credentials, eliminating the need to share room account passwords. OTP is then used to automatically fetch the resource account credentials and sign into Teams Rooms. Teams room admins can provision the OTP from the Teams Rooms Pro Management Portal.

Front Row Enhancement - Active video speaker promotion

Front Row now promotes pinned or spotlighted participants to the center stage when there is no shared content in the single and dual display mode to make the most of empty space. For single display mode, when no one is pinned, spotlighted, or sharing content, the most recent active speaker video will be promoted to the center. In dual display mode, when no one is pinned, spotlighted, or sharing content, the two most recent active speaker videos will be promoted to the center on each screen. If someone is sharing content, the most recent active video speaker will be promoted on the right screen.

Teams Room on Windows content camera enhancements
