Creating a Teams phone using a Wi-Fi only Android or iOS phone in kiosk mode.
Does anyone have experiences they could share, with creating a Teams phone using a Wi-Fi only Android or iOS phone in kiosk mode?

My company now has two Android "candy bar" phones deployed. We ended up using a Google Pixel 4a, with an Otter Box Defender case. I assigned the Teams App, a Wi-Fi configuration, an Android configuration (see attached screenshot), as I did not find a way to configure everything, I wrote some instructions for the remaining setup (see attached screenshot).
Hiding the notification tray would be great, security and reliability wise, but you lose access to things like the time, Wi-Fi state, brightness and password/biometrics settings.
The only feedback I have heard from the users is that they sometimes find it hard to use the fingerprint reader with the Otter Box case on. Though, I never had a problem with it.
