Updated January 30, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.
[Introduction]
We’re introducing automatic installation and updates for the Network Device Interface (NDI) in Microsoft Teams on macOS devices. NDI allows organizations to broadcast audio and video streams from Teams meetings to local networks, enabling advanced production scenarios such as live streaming or integrating with professional video systems. This enhancement eliminates manual steps, making it easier to use NDI in Teams.
[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCCH, DoD): Rollout will begin early January 2026 and is expected to complete by mid-February 2026 (previously mid-January).
[How this affects your organization:]
- Who is affected: All Microsoft Teams users on macOS devices.
- What will happen:
- NDI binaries will now install and update automatically on macOS devices.
- No manual intervention is required for setup or updates.
- This feature is enabled by default and respects existing Teams policies.
- Users can broadcast audio and video streams from Teams to their local network without additional configuration.
[What you can do to prepare:]
- No action is required from admins or users.
[Compliance considerations:]
No compliance considerations identified, review as appropriate for your organization.
