Microsoft update the licensing for Teams Rooms from 1 September, 2022. Previously there were Teams Rooms Standard and Teams Rooms Premium licences costing $15 and $50 per device per month respectively, with the biggest difference between the SKUs being the Microsoft managed services element. Now there’s a choice of Teams Rooms Basic or Teams Rooms Pro. Teams Rooms Basic is a free SKU, with a basic set of features, which customers can use for up to 25 devices.
Teams Room Pro is $40 per room per month with the whole feature set including support for Teams Panels and dual screens. The Microsoft managed services element is being removed to enable partners to provide services around meeting room management.
In the following link, there is a feature comparison halfway down the page. Transitioning from Teams Rooms Standard to Teams Rooms Pro is a price increase ($15 to $40). However, switching from Teams Rooms Premium to Teams Rooms Pro is a price decrease ($50 to $40).
