Team Device and Room
A little confused with this one. We have all of our conference rooms already in Exchange Online as Rooms. Now we are looking to add a device (Teams Meeting). I then went to create the device in Exchange Online. Seemed simply enough. However, the device and room does not seem to tie into each other as one would assume logically. For example, now we have to have users add the room to reserve the room and add the device to get Teams Rooms (device) to register there is a meeting. Is there a way to tie these together?
Another question kind of on the same level. How do people handle the naming? For example, often, companies have named their conference rooms something unique to the company. However, this name is noticeable when using a Teams Room device, since it is now a member of the meeting.
If you have existing rooms configured you should be able to make them into accounts that can then be used by a Teams Room device. Your users should just select the room, the device comes with it.

In Step 2 they show how to use the existing account as well as create a new account.
