The Cresron UC Flex product with Microsoft Skype and Teams provides the programmer a custom interface for room controls. In certain situations such as larger conference rooms and divisible spaces where the custom control interface needs to be the primary control interface for users and the Skype/Teams interface called up when needed. This would allow the Crestron UC Flex system to be utilized in more environment, driving more sales (both Crestron and Microsoft).
My suggestion is to provide an option for the Custom Room controls timeout to be set to longer times (5 mins, 10 mins, 30 mins, etc.) as well as an option for that timeout to be 0 (none) so that the Crestron programmer can provide the user a custom interface for controlling larger room systems where the primary use may be local presentation or simply lecture with no media.
Providing a Crestron programmer the ability to jump between these two modes at will without a timeout would benefit AV integrators looking to use the Microsoft solution in many different solutions, where the timeout prohibits it's use in these systems.

We would like the ability to stop sharing HDMI content plugged into our Teams Room system without needing to disconnect the HDMI cable from the device. We're demoing both the Crestron and Logitech solutions and both have this behavior. When an HDMI device is plugged in to the system, the content shares automatically to the display. You can hit stop presenting and it will stop sharing the content, until you start a Teams meeting. Once the meeting is started, the HDMI In content shows on the in room display over all camera feeds from remote participants. You can show thumbnails of participants with the gallery view but can't make them the focus. The only way to stop showing the HDMI In content on the in-room display in a Teams Meeting is to unplug the HDMI device. That doesn't work for us because we're testing out using an AirTame for wireless content sharing as Teams doesn't have that capability unless you're in a meeting already or start a meeting.

We currently use a Lenovo ThinkHub as our Skype Room System. We are a mixed enviornment (skype and teams). Currently when having a Skype meeting there are 3 layout options. Teams only has 2 of the 3. The one that is missing is one that is highly used, the gallery option. This layout allows participants to have a larger picture in the meeting and focuses on the person who is actively talking. Teams does not have this option. This feels like a big step back for our users and will be seen as a negative as we begin our transition to full Teams integration. We have the most up to date version we see available. Skype Room System 4.0.85.0

We need the ability to accept meetings from external companies that use Zoom, WebEx, RingCentral, and whatever other flavor the week has to offer. When we get a calendar invite and want to use it with a room we will fwd the invite to the room which contains all of the connection info. The room accepts but when you try to join it says "This isn't a Teams or Skype meeting" Teams Rooms should be able to recognize a phone number or sip address or IP address inside the body of email and connect.

It seems that there are apps you can add to your personal teams experience to simplify this process but they don't seem to work with Teams Rooms even when added to the online Teams account for the teams room user.

I would like the ability to adjust and disable the "auto swap" of the Teams UI from a custom interface in a Teams Room system.

My Use case is that I am using many Crestron Flex systems that utilize the Teams Room application. The Teams user interface can be flipped to a Custom user interface to control the other room hardware such as the LCD on the wall. When the LCD is powered off, I need the User Interface to stay on the custom UI and NOT the Teams UI so the user does not need to flip back before using the system. This creates confusion as to why the Teams system is active but the Room is not powered on.

The crestron programming ecosystem allows for discrete User interface flipping but the Auto timer overrides this. Why allow discrete control if we cannot disable the auto flip?
