Planned Maintenance: Automatic updates for Teams Rooms on Android and Teams Phones impacted by retirement of CNS Service API support To help address the upcoming retirement of CNS Service API support, impacted devices will receive the automatic firmware and Teams app updates. These automatic updates will happen at a faster rate to ensure adherence to the retirement deadline. When this will happen:Starting: July 10, 2024 Ending: September 30, 2024 How this will affect you organization:As communicated in MC798318 and MC804766 about retirement of CNS Service API support for older Android clients, the changes impact Teams Devices including Teams Rooms and Teams Phone devices. To avoid disruption:
The retirement of the CNS service API impacts incoming call (including one-on-one calls, group calls) notifications as well as proximity-based meeting join scenarios from the Teams Rooms on Android and impacts incoming calls, voicemail and missed call notifications scenarios on Teams Phone devices. Thus, automatic updates will be done for devices which are on versions older than the above to prevent any disruption for the devices due to this deprecation. During this period, devices will continue to be updated to the latest applicable version. Updates can include both firmware and Teams app updates, as required to bring the device to the required versions. These updates will be scheduled outside of normal business hours in the local time of the device, to help minimize any impact to your organization. Since it is important that the devices get updated as soon as possible, the configured maintenance window for the devices will not be adhered to. For organizations with users around the globe, we recognize that "outside of normal business hours" might affect you differently. We apologize for the impact this may have on your users. What you need to do to prepare:Administrators don't need to do anything to prepare. The updates will happen automatically. In case of any issues, feel free to reach out to Microsoft Support. |
