Proximity join doesn't work from Teams Desktop app
Pavel Yurevich Just received the latest teams client update today, problem solved! Thanks alot Pavel!
Desktop App Update: Microsoft Teams Version 1.4.00.2879 (64-bit). It was last updated on 2/15/21.
Wayno In your pre-join screen, are you able to even search for a room? That's the big functionality we lost. I don't mind if they have to accept the call on the Mercury Mini at the desk, but not being able to add the room as you're starting the meeting is what's really killing us.
RayGentry Yes, you are right - we can no longer search for a room on the pre-join screen - unable to find any rooms.
- I would be happy with just the ability to search for a room in the meet now box
- We're using Teams Desktop Client for Windows: Teams Version 1.4.00.7174 (64-bit).
And we still have the bug, iPhone iOS 14.5 Beta 5 works fine
This needs to be resolved ASAP as we use the Proximity feature in Teams.
Tested below to not be working for us

My teammate, Greg Baribault, would be the right person to provide context here. His team is working on restoring this functionality to the Desktop client.
- Any update on this Pavel Yurevich , I have several customers as well as my entire office who are complaining how they cannot use their Teams Room System because they can no longer see the Teams Room Location listed?!?!??
- I can confirm that this is also a problem for us in the last versions of Teams client.
As there are few support personal on-site due to restrictions of personal in office spaces this is affecting the meeting quailty. Users that is unsure how to handle the Teams room equipment gets even more scared to use them when their ordinary settings stops working. We're using Teams Desktop Client for Windows:
And still have the bug, iPhone iOS 14.5 Beta 5 worksI have also discovered this does not work anymore. 64bit Teams desktop, version 1.4.00.4167. Working normally from iOS mobile client.
- Let's give Desktop Team a chance to investigate and then we can go from there. Stay tuned.
- I think it's a bigger larger issue. Because the Beaconing is just an assist feature to narrow down that search and automate the room joining, correct? So beaconing can't really do anything if the Pre-join can't see any rooms?
Can you tag me in the new thread that gets made for that and attach me to any info on that ticket/issue with the desktop team? Our building will be going to full capacity in two weeks and I'd love to help get this sorted out. In addition to that, this had been how we'd recommended people start meetings created by external parties while we're sorting out our link protection system on the network.
Thanks. - Hi Pavel, it appear that the only different is that the search is also not working on version 1.4.00.4167
Hey folks, I escalated this issue to our desktop team. I tested this on our pre-release build and it is working as expected. Hopefully, this is a temporary issue.
Search aspect is a different issue all together. We probably need a different thread for that and escalate it separately. Greg Baribault as an FYI.
