Teams Rooms on Windows ships with a host of new capabilities that are designed to enhance the meeting experience for both users and admins such as Front Row, persistent chat, consistent remote management capabilities, and more.Windows Central’sZac Bowden also indicated that the new experience features a new user interface that’s quite similar to the one on Teams Rooms for Android devices.
