What hardware is certified for Microsoft Teams Rooms?

Microsoft Teams Rooms certified hardware in 2026 comes from Logitech, Poly, Yealink, Cisco, Neat and Lenovo, in three categories: integrated video bars for huddle to medium rooms, modular component systems (compute, PTZ camera and certified microphones) for large rooms and boardrooms, and peripherals such as touch consoles and scheduling panels. Only certified devices get Microsoft support, guaranteed firmware compatibility and Teams Rooms Pro Management coverage.

From the floor. The mistake I see most often on the certified list is buyers picking a bar by price and ignoring framing capability. Logitech RightSight, Poly DirectorAI and Neat Symmetry behave very differently in a 4 metre room against a 7 metre room, and a Studio X30 placed in a long boardroom will frame the wrong half of the table on every call. Check the certified room size band against your actual back-row distance before you order. — David Corker, Technical Sales Director

Integrated bars are the most common deployment shape. They combine camera, microphones, speakers and (usually) compute in one device. Currently certified families include:

• Logitech: Rally Bar Huddle, Rally Bar Mini, Rally Bar
• Poly: Studio X30, Studio X50, Studio X70, Studio X52
• Yealink: MeetingBar A20, A30, A40
• Cisco: Room Bar, Room Bar Pro
• Neat: Neat Bar, Neat Bar Pro, Neat Frame

Choice within this category is driven by room size, framing capability and price. Our Microsoft Teams Rooms page covers design, installation and licensing for each room type.

Modular component systems are used in rooms over roughly 8 metres long, where a single bar cannot capture audio across the table. These pair a separate compute unit (Logitech Tap IP + RoomMate, Lenovo ThinkSmart Core, HP Presence) with a dedicated PTZ camera and ceiling or table microphones from certified DSP partners (Shure, Sennheiser TeamConnect, Biamp, QSC). Certification applies to the whole stack, not just the compute.

Peripherals that carry separate certification include the Logitech Tap and Tap IP touch console, Yealink RoomPanel and MTouch, Poly TC8 and GC8, and a range of scheduling panels from Crestron, Evoko, Logitech and Yealink.

Why certification matters. Microsoft validates each certified device against the MTR app, drives the firmware compatibility matrix between OEM and Microsoft, and triages support. Uncertified hardware ("works with Teams" is not the same as "Teams Rooms certified") may join a meeting fine and break in subtle ways under load: AEC misalignment, calendar sync drift, telemetry gaps, no Teams Rooms Pro Management coverage. On a managed estate the certification gap is the difference between a working room and a room nobody can troubleshoot.

The authoritative list is Microsoft's own Teams Rooms certified hardware page; OEMs add and retire models continuously, so check it before ordering. If you are weighing Teams against other platforms, see our video conferencing overview.

Quick reference: integrated bars (Logitech, Poly, Yealink, Cisco, Neat) for huddle-to-medium; modular compute + PTZ + DSP-certified mics for large rooms; certification gives firmware compatibility, supportability and Pro Management coverage.
