At Microsoft Ignite 2023, Microsoft Teams announced upcoming support for streamlined deployment of Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows via Windows Autopilot and Auto-login of Teams Rooms. As a Teams Rooms on Windows device, Surface Hub 3 includes out-of-the-box support for this seamless end-to-end deployment experience, once broadly available from Teams.
Surface Hub 3 will support streamlined deployment with Windows Autopilot + Auto-login of Teams Rooms on Windows
Low-touch deployment
Autopilot + Auto-login of Teams Rooms will now enable low-touch deployment and re-deployment for Surface Hub 3, streamlining the setup process. This reduces the need for traditional bulk configuration of multiple Surface Hubs at a central site and subsequent redistribution or lengthy manual setup processes by skilled technicians at each location. Admins can now ship Surface Hubs directly to their final destination. Remotely registering a Surface Hub with Windows Autopilot and configuring the device in Teams Rooms Pro Management Portal* enables a magical unboxing experience: after connecting to the internet and powering on, the device will be provisioned, the Teams Rooms application will be signed in, and the device will be ready to use for meetings and collaboration within hours.
Simplified migration coming for Surface Hub 2S
Beginning next year, Surface Hub 2S devices migrating to Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows will also benefit from the new Autopilot + Auto-login experience. Customers who similarly capture and register their Surface Hub 2S device information prior to a migration will find that, once the transition is complete, when the system boots into the Teams Rooms platform for the first time, the seamless end-to-end deployment experience will complete the setup from start to finish.
