MC798318 Reminder | Microsoft Teams Mobile: Support is retiring for legacy services infrastructure for chat messaging (June 2024) also impacts Teams Devices including Teams Rooms (Android) and Teams Phone devices, because these devices use the same chat notification service infrastructure as Teams Android mobile clients. To avoid disruption, these updates must be completed before September 30, 2024. An update to Teams rooms application version 1449/1.0.96.2024020802 or greater is required for Teams Rooms on Android devices. An update to Teams phone application version 1449/1.0.94.2024011003 or greater is required for Teams Phone devices. Microsoft Teams devices are governed by the Modern Lifecycle Policy and require users to stay on the most up-to-date version of the Teams Rooms application. Automatic updates ensure that users have the latest capabilities, performance and security enhancements, and service reliability. Learn more about the Modern Lifecycle Policy under the Servicing agreement for Microsoft Teams. When will this happen: On September 30, 2024, Microsoft will stop supporting the legacy services infrastructure for chat messaging, which impacts Teams Rooms on Android devices on earlier app version than 1449/1.0.96.2024020802 and Teams Phone devices on earlier app version than 1449/1.0.94.2024011003. How this will affect your organization: The retirement of the CNS service API impacts incoming call (including notifications for one-on-one calls and group calls) and proximity-based meeting join scenarios from the Teams Rooms on Android. The retirement also impacts incoming calls, voicemail, and missed call notifications on Teams Phone devices. Team rooms application version 1449/1.0.96.2024020802 and later versions are not impacted as they use the new and improved notification service APIs. Similarly, Teams phone devices app versions 1449/1.0.94.2024011003 and later are not impacted. This change will not affect Teams Rooms on Windows or Surface Hub devices as well as Teams Panels.
