Microsoft Teams Rooms installation and MTR systems

Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR) are meeting rooms fitted with Microsoft-certified equipment (a video bar or camera, microphones, speakers, a touch console and one or two displays) that join a Teams meeting in one touch. A certified room typically costs £3,000 to £8,000 installed for a huddle space, £8,000 to £20,000 for a 6 to 12 person room and £25,000 to £60,000+ for a boardroom. We install them across the UK and keep them running with a managed service.

Teams Rooms is one of four platforms we install; the parent guide to video conferencing systems compares them.

What is a Microsoft Teams Room?

A Microsoft Teams Room is a meeting room running Microsoft's dedicated Teams Rooms app on certified hardware, signed in with its own Microsoft 365 resource account. The room appears in Outlook, shows its bookings on the touch console and joins the meeting in one tap. Because every device is on Microsoft's certified list, firmware is tested by Microsoft and the room is managed centrally from the Teams admin centre or the Pro Management portal.

It is not the Teams app on a laptop plugged into a screen; the difference is explained in Teams vs Teams Rooms: what MTR adds.

MTR devices and equipment by room size

What a certified Teams meeting room needs depends mostly on how many people sit in it and how far the back row is from the camera. These are the specifications we install most often in the UK; the full certified Teams Rooms hardware list is kept up to date by brand and room size.

Microsoft Teams Rooms installation across the UK

A huddle room or standard Teams Room is installed and commissioned in one day, a boardroom in 2 to 4 days, and a multi-site rollout runs at 5 to 15 rooms a week in regional waves. Installations are run from our South East head office by our own project managers and engineers, with vetted partner engineers in the main commercial centres for regional work.

StepWhat happensTypical time
1. Site surveyRoom size, back-row distance, acoustics, power and network points checked in person; fixed-price design issued.1 to 2 hours per room
2. Tenant preparationResource accounts, Basic or Pro licences, firewall ports and QoS agreed with your IT team; devices pre-staged and enrolled in our workshop.1 to 2 weeks lead time
3. InstallationDisplays, bar or cameras, microphones and console fitted, cables managed and tested, RAMS issued beforehand.1 day (huddle or standard), 2 to 4 days (boardroom)

Quick reference: survey, tenant prep, install, commission, hand over; 1 day per huddle or standard room, 2-4 days per boardroom, 5-15 rooms a week on rollouts.

Managed Teams Rooms service

A managed Teams Rooms service keeps every room working after handover. It typically costs £150 to £600 per room per year, depending on the response time you need, and covers rooms another company installed as well as ours.

What the service includes

  • Monitoring through the Pro Management portal, so offline devices are fixed before a meeting fails.
  • Firmware and app updates tested before they reach your rooms.
  • Resource account, licence and calendar housekeeping.
  • Helpdesk for your staff and on-site fixes under a written SLA.
  • Quarterly reviews, utilisation reporting and refresh planning across the estate.
  • Migration of old Skype Room Systems and uncertified rooms onto current MTR.

Service levels

Quick reference: managed service £150-£600 per room per year; 4-hour on-site response available for critical rooms. Contracts sit under our AV support and maintenance service; common faults are covered in why Teams Rooms keep failing.

Choosing a Teams Rooms installer: what good looks like

Plenty of suppliers can sell you a video bar. Fewer will leave you with rooms that still work in year three. Hold every bidder to these standards:

  • Certified hardware only. Every device on Microsoft's Teams Rooms certified list, so you keep Microsoft support, tested firmware and Pro Management coverage. "Works with Teams" is not the same thing.
  • A site survey before the quote. Room dimensions, back-row distance, acoustics, power and network points checked in person, because they decide which bar or camera will actually work.
  • Network and licensing planned up front. Resource accounts, Basic or Pro licensing, firewall ports and QoS agreed with your IT team before install day, not discovered on it.
  • Information security taken seriously. ISO 27001 certification and a clear process for handling your Microsoft 365 tenant and admin access.
  • Handover people can use. Short user training for each room, plus admin documentation so your IT team can manage devices in the Teams Rooms Pro portal.
  • A written support SLA. Remote monitoring, firmware management and an on-site response time for critical faults (4 hours is a sensible bar) in the contract.

Microsoft Teams Rooms FAQs

Q.

What is Microsoft Teams Rooms?

Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR) is Microsoft's system for meeting rooms: certified hardware (a video bar or camera, microphones, speakers, a touch console and one or two displays) running a dedicated Teams Rooms app, so anyone can walk in and join a Teams meeting in one touch. Each room is signed in with its own Microsoft 365 resource account and a Teams Rooms Basic or Pro licence, and runs either on an Android appliance or a small Windows PC. A certified room typically costs £3,000 to £8,000 installed for a huddle space and £8,000 to £20,000 for a 6 to 12 person room.

Q.

What does a Microsoft Teams Rooms managed service include?

A Teams Rooms managed service keeps every room working after installation: 24/7 monitoring through the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal, firmware and app updates tested before they reach your rooms, resource account and licence housekeeping, a helpdesk your staff can call, and on-site fixes with a written response time (4 hours for critical faults is a sensible bar). Better contracts add quarterly reviews and refresh planning. UK pricing typically runs £150 to £600 per room per year depending on the SLA, and can cover rooms another company installed.

Q.

How much does a Microsoft Teams Room cost in the UK?

A small huddle Microsoft Teams Room with a certified single-camera bar (Logitech Rally Bar Mini, Poly Studio X30 or Yealink MeetingBar A20) plus a 55-inch display typically costs £3,000 to £8,000 supplied and installed. A standard 6 to 12 person room with dual displays, certified PTZ camera and table or ceiling microphones runs £8,000 to £20,000. Boardroom-class MTRs with multi-camera tracking, ceiling mic arrays and DSP audio range from £25,000 to £60,000+. Pricing excludes Microsoft 365 and Teams Rooms Pro licensing.

Q.

What Microsoft 365 licences do I need for Microsoft Teams Rooms?

Each MTR device must be assigned to a dedicated resource account with either a Microsoft Teams Rooms Pro or Teams Rooms Basic licence. Teams Rooms Pro (around £36 per room per month) is the standard for managed deployments and includes intelligent audio/video, advanced room analytics, Teams Premium meeting features, Microsoft Places, single-pane-of-glass management and proactive Microsoft monitoring. Teams Rooms Basic is free for up to 25 rooms but lacks pro management. We help you size licensing during the design phase.

Q.

Which Microsoft Teams Rooms hardware brands do you install?

We are a Microsoft partner and install certified MTR hardware from Logitech (Rally Bar, Rally Plus, Tap Scheduler), Poly (Studio X30/X50/X70, Studio E70, TC10), Yealink (MeetingBar A20/A30, MVC series), Neat (Neat Bar, Bar Pro, Board), Lenovo ThinkSmart, HP Elite Slice, Crestron Flex and Microsoft Surface Hub 3. Most modern UK rollouts use Android-based MTR appliances for simplicity; Windows-based MTR is used where richer Cisco Webex or Zoom interoperability is needed.

Q.

What is the difference between MTR on Android and MTR on Windows?

MTR on Android is an appliance: a sealed certified device (Logitech, Poly, Yealink, Neat) that boots straight into Teams Rooms with minimal management overhead. MTR on Windows runs on a small-form-factor Windows IoT PC (Lenovo, HP, Crestron) and supports richer multi-platform direct-guest-join scenarios for Zoom and Webex, plus more flexible peripheral choices. Most UK organisations standardise on Android for huddle and meeting rooms, and use Windows MTR for boardrooms or where Zoom/Webex parity is required.

Q.

Do Microsoft Teams Rooms support Teams Premium and Copilot?

Yes. With Teams Rooms Pro and a Teams Premium add-on, MTR devices unlock advanced meeting features including intelligent recap, AI-generated meeting notes, live translation, watermarking, sensitivity-label protection and advanced webinar functionality. Copilot in Microsoft Teams works for in-room and remote participants when the meeting organiser has a Copilot for Microsoft 365 licence, providing AI-powered summaries, action items and Q&A directly inside the Teams meeting.

Q.

How long does a Microsoft Teams Room installation take?

A standard certified MTR installation is typically completed in one day, including display mounting, cable management, camera and microphone install, MTR appliance configuration and Microsoft 365 enrolment, Intune/Teams Admin Centre onboarding, network testing and 30 to 45 minutes of user training. Boardroom MTRs with ceiling mic arrays, multi-camera tracking and DSP audio usually take 2 to 4 days. Multi-site rollouts are scheduled in waves to minimise business disruption.

Q.

Can you support an existing Microsoft Teams Rooms estate?

Yes. Our UK-wide managed services team supports existing MTR estates regardless of who installed them, including proactive monitoring via Teams Admin Centre and Pro Management Portal, firmware and security updates, room-account hygiene, on-site break-fix with 4-hour SLA options, hardware refresh planning and quarterly service reviews. We can also re-certify rooms that have drifted from Microsoft compliance and migrate legacy Skype Room System (SRS) devices onto current MTR appliances.

Q.

Do you offer finance and as-a-service for Microsoft Teams Rooms?

Yes. We offer leasing and Microsoft Teams Rooms-as-a-Service so you can bundle certified hardware, Teams Rooms Pro licensing, installation, training and ongoing support into a single monthly per-room operating cost. This is popular with UK organisations rolling out 10+ rooms or moving capex to opex. Speak to our team for finance options aligned to your budget and refresh cycle.
