Roman Nowak You can have a room mailbox and add a license for Teams to that account. You could assign a E1 to enable Teams access, but it still can be a room mailbox, then you will be able to sign in into Teams.

If you have an room mailbox without and Exchange license applied you are not allowed to sign in with outlook directly to that mailbox. But if you assign a E3 or E1 you are allowed.

If you were running a Microsoft Teams Room device you could use the Conference Room license, but I'm not sure if that is okay using that license when you are running a regular PC as a room device.

Thanks again!!
