Active
Directory or
M365

Surface Hub uses an Active Directory or Azure AD account
(called a

device account

) to access Exchange and Teams (or

Skype for Business) services. The Surface Hub must be able to
connect to your Active Directory domain controller or to your
Azure AD tenant in order to validate the device account’s
credentials, as well as to access information like the device
account’s display name, alias, Exchange server, and Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) address.

NOTE: Surface Hubs work with Microsoft Teams, Skype for
Business Server 2019, Skype for Business Server 2015, or
Skype for Business Online. Earlier platforms, such as Lync
Server 2013, are not supported. Surface Hubs are not
supported in GCC DoD environments.

Tip

As a companion to this article, we recommend using the

Surface Hub and

Microsoft Teams Rooms automated setup guide

when signed in to the

Microsoft 365 Admin Center. This guide will customize your experience based on
your environment. If you're hosted in Exchange Online and using Microsoft Teams,
the guide will automatically create your device account with the correct settings. Or
use it to validate existing resource accounts to help turn them into compatible
Surface Hub device accounts. To review best practices without signing in and
activating automated setup features, go to the

M365 Setup portal

.
