Introduction
We’re introducing automatic installation and updates for the Network Device Interface (NDI) in Microsoft Teams on macOS devices. NDI allows organizations to broadcast audio and video streams from Teams meetings to local networks, enabling advanced production scenarios such as live streaming or integrating with professional video systems. This enhancement eliminates manual steps, making it easier to use NDI in Teams.

- Users can broadcast audio and video streams from Teams to their local network without additional configuration.
