When this will happen:
Targeted Release: Microsoft will begin rolling out late January 2024 and expects to complete by early February 2024.
Worldwide: Microsoft will begin rolling out early April 2024 (previously mid-March) and expects to complete by mid-May 2024 (previously early April).
How this will affect your organization:
For the limited release tenants, users will be able to see the device store in Teams > Apps. They can learn about certified devices from the store and can purchase them. IT administrators can manage the device store settings from Teams Admin Center (TAC) and can disable purchase for all users in the organization if needed.
What you need to do to prepare:
On its release, the device store will be available within Teams App by default. Based on organization needs, the ability to purchase can be disabled from TAC, making the store read-only catalog of Teams certified devices.
