Source notes citing this source

• Conference phones that run the Meeting interface require a Teams Rooms Pro license. in context
• Teams Rooms Basic supports peer-to-peer and group Teams calls. Phone System and end-to-end call encryption are Pro-only calling features. in context
• Centrally managed Teams Rooms accounts should hold only a Teams Rooms Pro or Basic license plus any extra licenses needed for calling (such as Calling Plans) or enhanced security. in context
• Teams Rooms Pro and Basic licenses cover a single room. Using one account on devices that are not in the same room violates the license terms. Signing in more than one system in a room with one account requires Pro. in context
• Teams Rooms Pro includes Teams Phone Standard and Teams Rooms Basic does not. In the calling feature table, 'Microsoft 365 Phone System' is listed for Pro only. in context
• For external PSTN calls, a Teams Rooms Pro resource account probably also needs a PSTN path (a Calling Plan license, or an Operator Connect or Direct Routing number) and a phone number assigned through the standard Teams number-assignment process. The Teams Rooms documentation reviewed gives no step-by-step procedure for this. inferred in context
• Microsoft sells two current licenses for Teams Rooms systems: Teams Rooms Pro and Teams Rooms Basic. Basic is free and limited to 25 licenses per organization; systems beyond 25 must use Pro. in context
• Any device used as a shared meeting device needs a Teams Rooms license, whether it joins through a Teams client, anonymous join, or a resource-account identity via Azure Communication Services or another framework. Per-user enterprise suite licenses are not authorized for this. Direct Guest Join and Cloud Video Interop are exceptions. in context
• Teams Shared Space licenses are not supported on Teams Rooms devices and will not work there. Teams Rooms devices should get only Teams Rooms Basic, Teams Rooms Pro, or legacy Teams Rooms licenses. in context
