Microsoft Teams Rooms now supports modern authentication
About modern authentication
Modern Auth entication is a Microsoft generic term for a combination of more secure authentication and authorisation methods between a client (e.g. PC or phone) and a server, as well as some security measures that rely on access policies. It includes:
- Authentication methods: multi-factor authentication (MFA); smart card authentication; client certificate-based authentication
- Authorization Methods: Microsoft's Implementation of Open Authorization (OAuth)
- Conditional Access Strategies: Mobile Application Management (MAM) and Conditional Access from Azure Active Directory
Modern authentication is enabled by default in Exchange Online, Microsoft Teams, Skype for Business Online, and SharePoint Online for new tenants. For tenants created beforeAugust 1, 2017, modern authentication isdisabled by default for Exchange Online and Skype for Business Online.
Modern Authentication with Teams Rooms Systems
When you use modern authentication with the Microsoft Teams Rooms app, the Active Directory (ADAL) and OAuth 2.0 are used to sign in to Microsoft Teams, Exchange and Skype for Business.
Support for modern authentication is available in version MTR 4.4.25.0, which will be rolled out to all customers later this month. Release noteshere
Microsoft Teams Rooms are shared devices. They automatically restart overnight to ensure proper operation and to install critical updates for the operating system, drivers, firmware, or applications.
Therefore, Microsoft Teams Rooms resource accounts should not be configured to use multi-factor authentication (MFA), smart card authentication, or client certificate-based authentication (all of which are available to end users).
The modern authentication mechanism uses the "resourceowner passwordgrant" authorization type in OAuth 2.0, which requires no user interaction.

What an article Can't Know
An article describes what applies to everyone. What varies from one organization to another is the inventory: which applications, which accounts, and which pieces of equipment are actually involved in your organization. The inventory determines the scope of the effort, and it cannot be summarized on a single page.
