Prepare existing meeting room screens for OAuth

To ensure no interruption to service, you should prepare and authenticate existing meeting room screens for OAuth before enabling OAuth authentication for your calendar service! Once OAuth authentication is enabled for your calendar service, any meeting room screen that does not already have OAuth enabled will stop working.

!Switching from OAuth to Basic authentication is not supported! Once 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 may stop working once OAuth is enabled for your calendar service. To learn how to update screens visit Checking for updates.
