Updated August 18, 2026: We have decided not to move forward with this change at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience.
[Introduction]
To support frontline workers using personal devices, Microsoft is introducing a dynamic onboarding wizard for Microsoft Teams. This experience is designed to simplify setup on Android and iOS devices, especially in environments with security policies like multi-factor authentication (MFA) and mobile application management. The wizard adapts automatically to your organization’s policies, helping drive secure and efficient Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) adoption.
