Yes, but only as part of a certified Teams Rooms system. Microsoft supports Teams Rooms on Windows only on certified hardware, and its certified list includes "Logitech Tap with ASUS NUC 15 Pro": an ASUS NUC 15 Pro with a Core Ultra 7, 32GB and 250GB storage, sold as a kit with Logitech's Tap touch controller. A NUC you buy on its own and install Teams on is not a supported Teams Rooms system, however powerful it is. It can still be a useful meeting-room PC, or the room can run "bring your own device" meetings from laptops. At SourceIT, Microsoft Teams Rooms Pro is S$610 per room per year, and the NUC 15 Pro Tall with Core Ultra 5, 16GB and Windows 11 Pro is S$1,363.06 (listed 3 Nov 2026).
What are the three ways to use a NUC in a meeting room?
| Certified Teams Rooms kit (NUC inside) | Uncertified NUC as a room PC | No room PC (BYOD) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Example | Logitech Tap with ASUS NUC 15 Pro | Any NUC with Windows 11 Pro and the Teams desktop app | A USB video bar that people plug their laptop into |
| Runs the Teams Rooms app? | Yes, supported by Microsoft | Not in a supported way | No; the laptop runs Teams |
| Windows edition | Windows 11 IoT Enterprise or Enterprise, annual channel | Any desktop Windows | The user's own laptop |
| Licence | Teams Rooms Basic (free, up to 25 rooms) or Pro | A user licence for whoever signs in | Each user's own Teams licence |
| One-touch join, room booking, central management | Yes | No | Through a Teams panel, if added |

Why does certification matter so much?
- It is the only supported route. Microsoft's requirements page points only to the certified list and gives no minimum CPU or RAM. A shared meeting-room device needs a Teams Rooms licence.
- The operating system is specific. Teams Rooms on Windows runs only on Windows 11 IoT Enterprise or Enterprise on the annual update channel. Windows 11 Pro and the long-term LTSC editions are not supported, so a NUC bought with Windows 11 Pro does not qualify as it is.
- Updates are managed for you. Teams Rooms installs Windows updates overnight, between 2am and 3am local time, and Microsoft supports only the current and previous Teams Rooms app releases.
- Peripherals are tested together. Certified kits pair the compute with a touch controller, and Microsoft certifies cameras, microphones and speakers separately.
A NUC is a fine computer. A certified kit is a meeting room that Microsoft will support. They are not the same purchase.
What does a Windows-based room give you over Android?
Teams Rooms also runs on certified Android video bars. Microsoft lists features available only on Windows, including Front Row, breakout rooms, multi-camera, Spatial Audio, third-party room control and Defender for Endpoint. If you want those, a NUC-based certified kit is one way to get them. Our post Microsoft Teams Rooms Licence: Features and ROI explains what Basic and Pro include, and Why Does Your S$2,000 Video Bar Still Need a S$3,000 Laptop? covers the USB-versus-room-system choice.
What can an uncertified NUC still do?
- A shared room PC. Staff can sign in to Teams, Zoom or a browser on a NUC in the room. It works, but there is no one-touch join from a console and no central room management, and Microsoft does not support it as a Teams Room.
- A BYOD room. Microsoft defines a BYOD room as one without meeting compute: a laptop connects to the room's USB camera, microphones and screen. A NUC is not needed here at all; a USB video bar such as the Logitech MeetUp 2 (S$1,299.38) or Yealink UVC40 E2 (S$645) does the job.
- Signage outside the room. A NUC can drive a room-booking or welcome screen in the corridor. See Can One ASUS NUC Power an Entire Digital Signage Network?

How do you plan a NUC-based Teams Room?
- Choose a certified kit from Microsoft's list. SourceIT does not list the Logitech Tap with ASUS NUC 15 Pro kit, so ask us about availability; we also supply the Lenovo ThinkSmart Core + Controller Kit for Teams Rooms.
- Pick certified cameras, microphones and a display sized for the room.
- License each room with Teams Rooms Basic or Pro.
- Mount the compute out of sight; Logitech's Compute Mount for RoomMate and mini PCs fits VESA 75/100.
- Plan for 24/7 power and network: see ASUS NUC for 24/7 Operations.
