What hardware is certified for Microsoft Teams Rooms?

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

Certified Teams Rooms devices by brand and room size

Pick the row by room size first and brand second: a bar certified for a 4 metre huddle room will frame the wrong half of the table in a 7 metre boardroom whatever the logo.

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 video bars

Bars are the most common deployment shape. They combine camera, microphones, speakers and (usually) Android compute in one device: Logitech Rally Bar Huddle, Mini and Rally Bar; Poly Studio X30, X32, X50, X52 and X70; Yealink MeetingBar A10, A20, A30 and A40; Cisco Room Bar and Room Bar Pro; Neat Bar, Bar Pro and Frame; Crestron Flex MM and B-Series. Choice within the category is driven by room size, framing capability and price; our Microsoft Teams Rooms page covers Teams Rooms installation and licensing for each room type.

Modular systems for boardrooms

Rooms over roughly 8 metres long need a separate compute unit (Logitech RoomMate or Tap IP with a Windows PC, Lenovo ThinkSmart Core, HP Presence, Crestron Flex C-Series, Yealink MVC) paired with a dedicated PTZ or multi-camera system and ceiling or table microphones from certified DSP partners (Shure, Sennheiser TeamConnect, Biamp, QSC). Certification applies to the whole stack, not just the compute.

Certified peripherals

Touch consoles and panels carry their own certification: Logitech Tap and Tap IP, Yealink CTP18, RoomPanel and MTouch, Poly TC8, TC10 and GC8, Neat Pad, Crestron TSS panels, and scheduling panels from Logitech, Yealink, Crestron and Evoko.

Why certification matters

Microsoft validates each certified device against the MTR app, drives the firmware compatibility matrix between the manufacturer and Microsoft, and triages support. Uncertified hardware ("works with Teams" is not "Teams Rooms certified") may join a meeting fine and break in subtle ways under load: echo cancellation misalignment, calendar sync drift, telemetry gaps and no 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; manufacturers add and retire models every quarter, so check it before ordering. If you are weighing Teams against Zoom, Google Meet or Webex, start with our video conferencing systems overview.

Quick reference: integrated bars (Logitech, Poly, Yealink, Neat, Cisco, Crestron) for huddle to medium rooms; modular compute + PTZ + certified DSP microphones for boardrooms; certification gives tested firmware, Microsoft support and Pro Management coverage.
