Prepare existing meeting room screens for OAuth
To ensure there is no interruption to service, prepare and authenticate existing room screens for OAuth before enabling OAuth authentication for your calendar service. When OAuth authentication is enabled for your calendar service, any room screen that does not already have OAuth enabled will stop working.
Switching from OAuth to Basic authentication is not supported! When a room or screen has been authenticated to OAuth it cannot be moved back to Basic authentication.
Minimum software version
All meeting room screens currently in use must be on version 8.3.3 or above. Any meeting room screen not on this minimum version might stop working when OAuth is enabled for your calendar service. To learn how to update screens, visit Checking for updates.
