Microsoft Teams: New room optimization mode user experience in Teams desktop

From Microsoft's description: “When room peripherals are connected, Teams can automatically select audio and video devices, enable speaker recognition and shared display, and disable voice isolation.”

Users can more easily use their laptop for meetings and collaboration in spaces like focus or huddle rooms that don’t yet have a Teams Rooms system. The new room optimization mode replaces shared display mode, has a new location, and enables or disables room-specific features. When room peripherals are connected, Teams can automatically select audio and video devices, enable speaker recognition and shared display, and disable voice isolation.
