One Time Passcode (OTP) for simplified setup of Teams Rooms on Windows

With Teams Rooms on Windows update 4.19 coming in November, we are introducing a new and simplified way to setup Teams Room on Windows. During the first boot experience, the user will be presented with an option to enter a one-time passcode (OTP) to automatically fetch the resource account credentials and sign into Teams Rooms. The users will need a pro license to utilize this feature and provision the OTPs on the Teams Rooms Pro Management Portal.
