Teams Desktop, mobile clients Vs Teams meeting room

[Newlife]

Hi Community, 

Is there any specific differences between Teams desktop/mobile clients and Teams meeting rooms?

Our customer wants to invest on camera and other peripherals to leverage the Teams desktop/mobile clients rather than Teams meeting room. Again it is for just 50 users organization. 

Is it required to purchase Teams meeting room or can we manage it with Teams desktop/mobile clients? 

Any guidance would be of great help!

Hi @Newlife  This article describes the features of Teams meeting room: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/rooms/.  You can use this to compare to the tons of info out on Teams desktop.

Basically it's the difference between setting up an actual meeting room equipped for several people at once to attend a meeting vs all individuals calling in separately to attend a meeting virtually.  Hope this helps.
