When this will happen:
The device store will start rollout in early April and is expected to be complete by late July (previously early June).
NOTE: The functionality will be available to small and medium sized organizations in US and Canada. This will be extended to more customers in the future.
How this will affect your organization:
This new feature will appear as an additional option in your Teams Admin Center left navigation bar, called: ‘Device store’ and allow admins to access all Teams certified devices from a single place. Admins can search, sort or filter to browse through the catalog and find the device of their choice. They can then place an order through credit cards or purchase orders.
For the Teams devices purchased through this store, you can leverage seamless remote provisioning, that will associate those devices with your tenant automatically, within the Teams Admin Center.
What you need to do to prepare:
You do not need to do anything to prepare. The Teams device store will be enabled by default and is limited to Teams Admin Center.
