Create and test a device account on
Surface Hub
Article • 03/27/2023
Creating a Surface Hub device account (also known as a resource account/room
mailbox) allows the Surface Hub to receive, approve, or decline meeting requests and
join meetings.
Once the device account is provisioned on a Surface Hub, people can add this account
to a meeting invitation the same way that they would invite a conference room.
You can configure the device account during the Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE) setup . If
needed, you can also change it later in Settings > Surface Hub > Accounts .
This table explains the main steps and configuration decisions when you create a device
account.

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 .
